Quite like mine. Most of the people are good, some of the kids are feral. Could do with starting a bit later but then I'm finished early. Could do with more money but all in all it suits me. 8/10.

9/10 it's not my dream job but I work with nice people, my employer looked after me when mr pp was in hospital. I've just had a bonus as well. And to top it off I only work ten mins drive from my house and I look forward to going in.

I'm not enjoying it as much as the last couple of years but in general I quite like it. I like my actual role but the people are not quite as nice as some I've worked with. Pay is crap but hours are good so I reckon I'd have to give it a 7 or 8 out of 10

Default Re: How much do you like your job?

Good topic.

Loved my last job in London, learnt something new almost every day. Paid bloody well too. 10/10.... back up in shipbroking. 7 years. Best job of my life thus far.

Enjoyed my first job for 16 years in Aus, although totally different to what I did back in the UK, was supposed to be a fill in job till I found something better. Although working from home for an average of 3hours.45 mins (never more than 5 hours and sometimes less than 90 mins) on full time money was bloody hard to beat. Gas meter reader... could be lonely at times. Made redundant thanks to Kennets sell off of the public service in Vic....(wonder where the 1 million buck a day profit went ??? ) Paid to keep fit, not bad... 8.5/10

Couple of fill in jobs until.....

Currently with Aus Post... Parcel driver for the first 6 years. Worst full time job of my life... 3/10, only steady conditions, secure employement and good Super gives it that score.. job made redundant within the organization and moved on within Apost.
Night sorting for past 8 years... brilliant job from a social aspect... over 200 workmates so your bound to find people you get along with, boring repetive work marks it down plus being night shift... still manages a fairly credible 7.5/10 despite it's failings. cannot empathise how good this job is socially. Would be on the same score as the meter reading job if it were day shift.. Pays almost the exact Aussie average wage, so not bad at all for the work we do.

Looks like redundancy is looming, so hopefully will be forced off of night shift. Got my sights on a traffic controllers ticket (sticking out cones on motorways etc )
