Or would you like to like your job but someone or something ruins it.
What would be your dream job?
I like my job, I like the variety and the people I meet  |

I love my job, I'm currently at the start of uni furthering my skills in it. It has its mundane days but then the flip side is the really rewarding days when I make a difference to someone and their lives |

My job's okay. It's the best job I've had, but I made a mistake 40 years ago when I was deciding what to study at university, and the result was a career in a field that I'd largely lost interest in within 5 years.
Too late now.  |

Recently started a new role so I am in the "honeymoon" phase where all is new and shiny, the coworkers are nice and all...so far I like it, but who knows 3/4 months in how the situation will evolve. |

No, I do not like my job. I love some of my clients but the job itself not particularly.
In an ideal world I would start my own fitness business, but commitments mean I need the steady income of a “proper” job 🤷🏻♀️ |

My job has gone from something I enjoyed and found interesting and stimulating, to something I can’t wait to finally retire from in future.
Unfortunately I’m at an age where it would be very difficult to find a different job with similar income |

Finally aged 60 I gave up a managerial job that I’d grown to hate.
Now I work part time in a social care role and I absolutely love it. I feel like I’m really making a difference instead of dealing with corporate crap.
Why did I wait so long??? |

I do like my job. I sometimes love it. But at the moment, my ideal job would come with a PA and involve me floating about in a warm swimming pool and/or sitting on the beach a lot. Holiday tester? Influencer? Summat like that  |

"I'm still trying to find my groove.
Corporate grind is soul destroying. "
Amen! I worked in corporate for 15 years...fun at first. Until you realise it's all bullshit and office politics. I've gone back to my trade now and am loving it. |

I love my job! I'm a carpenter and plumber (qualified) and I'm literally paid to go to people's houses and fix their issues or build wonderful things!
There are other perks to the job as well, you just need to be able to spot them!  |

"I love my job, I am a re-tyrement practitioner. It is the best job I have ever had.
I've got my tyre levers to hand - can you put me some new Marathon Pluses on? "
I’ve just asked Dr G about them and it doesn’t look to be a very technical job and I’d say it was within my skill set and I do have an opening for such a job. Although I think you may have misinterpreted my job title.  |

No, set it on fire and watch it burn, I have unrealistic KPI’s, sometimes unpleasant working conditions, our work mantra is ‘ think about what you can do for the company’ when in reality I am just a number, they will shout about values and integrity when in reality it’s we need to hit the targets to keep shareholders happy, absolute dogshit one out of five stars would not recommend |

Wilfully misinterpreted, yes |

"They say if you love your job you'll never have to work a day in your life. I've 'not worked' in 30 odd years."
They do say that and I’d agree with it but my back knees shoulders and wrists would disagree with it 😂 |

Is it imminent job or can you tease it out a bit longer? |

My job is a means to an end. It provides a good routine, is in a recession-proof industry, provides a good pension and more importantly, allows me to do what I want in my free time. It's not a dream job and not do I particularly like it, but they pay me for my time and I do a good job that's required of me. Simple |

Wonder if we are in the same game 😂 |

I've been running my own business for 26 years this year, and love it because of all the different people I get to interact with day to day, my schedule is very flexible, and all the profit is MINE! |

I like my job. If it wasn't for the cockwomble in my office, and one of the sons of the company owners, who happens to be the MD, I would love my job. The two ladies in my office keep me sane, and I keep them sane, too, as they hate cockwomble as much as I do. |

I really love my job. I've worked my way up. I love the people I work with and the company is amazing. It doesn't pay amazingly but everything else is well worth it. Money isn't a great driver for me. |

I can wait until at least a week on Tuesday. |

Starting to loathe it. 22 years in and the place that used to be welcoming, inclusive with awesome nights out has over the past 5 years turned into something I don't recognise. Looking to get the heck out asap |

One of my jobs I sometimes enjoy, and sometimes don't so much, especially when it's cold and raining like this afternoon! I wish it was more valued and appreciated by Joe Public but we carry on regardless doing our very best.
My other job, well I've actually handed my notice in, I've only got 2 weeks left!
I was bored, frustrated, and felt very unappreciated, so when I was asked by another organisation if I would be interested in a job there, I jumped at the chance. Plus it's in an industry where my heart lies so I'm chuffed.

It’s not the job I dislike, it’s the department and senior management. It had a lot of potential but there seems to be a major disconnect from reality with the owners and the board of directors. Very little knowledge is held at director level regarding company processes yet micromanagement is creating obstacles for it’s own progress. |

I don't hate it . I only work 4 days a week and sometimes I actually do make a difference. It's not the dream, however I'm no longer sure what my dream job would be. I still don't really know what I want to do when I grow up 🤷♀️ |

I don't mind my job, it's better than some of the ones I've had throughout my illustrious career. I now make flavours for all those lovely Haribo sweets, the flavouring in the Kipling cakes, the flavours in well known brands of energy drinks.... basically the flavours and colourings in practically everything we eat (except obviously the stuff that's grown naturally). |
