Do you like your job?

You are so fortunate, and you also probably drive yourself harder than any other boss would.

We do push ourselves and our employees harder because we want to perform the job the same way we would like it performed if it was us ordering the service. If a customer is not happy then we are not finished with that job until they are satisfied and happy with the service that they paid for.

You are so right Judelen. Being a boss is much different than taking orders from one. When I used to work in that type of situation I remember biting my tongue so many times I thought I was going to expolde. Im an now working as a visiting nurse. I go to peoples homes and take care of them. I have someone I report to but she isnt over my shoulder. I Love that. dl

Hey Writers! It does stink that you have to use your savings and retirement. Hold on it will get better. I hope... Enjoy the time you have not working. Eventually they will want you back full time and you wont have free time. This job crisis cant last forever. At least I hope not. As for the couch potato he makes me sick. He is a big peice of SH*T! The funny thing is that he walks around like he's the man just because he helps lift his mother out of bed. The minute he sits her in the wheelchair he is gone. Nothing more. He is a waste of space. His mother is the nicest woman you ever want to meet. I just ignore him. He's not worth me quitting my job.The person in charge of my patient's care loves me. She appreciates how good I am with her mother so I am not going anywhere! Hold on it will get better. dl

Sounds like you have the right attitude. I'm trying! So many lazy people in this world, so little time.

At least you dont hate it. No one wants to have to work but we do. We are unfortunately not blessed with millionaire parents. If you work hard who knows maybe you can become a CEO of your company. That is very possible. Or maybe you can create your own company. Who knows. Anything is possible. And you have good friends to work with. that makes it easier to go to work. dl

That's true.. we have no choice but to work. Hehehe. Anyway, I don't know about being the CEO of the company. LOL. but that sounds nice.. Hehehehe. I just wish that I could have a work that I really really love.. I really envy those people who just love their work and would not trade it for anything else.

Well you certainly have a great attitude about being unemployed. That's admirable. You are funny. What about a comedian? You have one fan already.. ME I think your hilarious. Seriously though I know how you're feeling. I just got a job in my field. I was working in stores, laundry mats, then nothing for 7 months. I thought I was going to die. But then I went online to Care.com and found a job. They even have dog walking jobs. SO I knew I had to have experience for that. Luckily I didnt have to find out. I was contacted by someone who needed a home nurse for their mom. Here I am. I love it. Browse the internet sites. You never know. Good Luck with your job search my friend. Hope to hear from you again. dl

I'll check it out Thanks! Oh by the way, "how much for a sponge bath and do U take Food Stamps???"

First off welcome Jessie Jing to MyLot! Secondly It stinks that you dont like your job. It makes it harder to go to work everyday. Do you have another job in mind to switch to after your vacation. My blessings go with you as you look for gainful employment. Hope to hear from you again soon my friend. Keep your head up and smile you will find a new job.Good luck dl

Hey Vams! You have to give a job a fair chance before making a final opinion. Some people become impatient and quit. You waited and in the end you are doing well. dl

I admire your drive. Even though you arent fully satisfied with your job you do your best at it. Alot of people make it miserable for themselves. One day you will find the job of your dreams. Until then keep your head up. dl

You and I are in the same boat. We love our jobs. At this time the fact that we have a job is amazing. The fact that we have a job and like is unbelievable!! I remember back at all the crapppy jobs I have had and I am so thankful for my new patient. She is awesome! dl

Hey Lindsiko you are the other side of the coin, if you will. There are those who hate the job and do it just to make ends meet. Then there are those who enjoy working and really prosper. You are lucky. I am loving my job right now too. My patient's family allow me to care for their mother. In this particular family they are extremely close so I was shocked when they allowed me to get right in there and do things my way. The daughter even went so far as to go on this employment website where I had applied to this job and leave the best reference you could imagine. As far as your employment goes dont forget that everyone has their moods. Maybe your boss is going thru something. Whatever it is dont let it get to you. Something is going on in your bosses head. Maybe, depending on your relationship with your boss, you could discuss what is going on. dl

First let me welcome you Hasida. Your feelings are not uncommon. I think most people dont like their jobs. More so they dont want to be the employee. Unfortunately we are not all cut out to be bosses. Some people have a great way about them and that makes them great assistants. We are all good at something. We all have our place in life. It is up to us to find out what it is.Happy MyLotting dl

See I think that most people dont love their job. They are doing it because they have to. They have families to support. Its a case of doing the right thing. With finances being what they are, we have no choice. However if most of the people you know love their jobs, than hey that's wonderful. It sure makes life easier to love your job. dl

ok something i agree with you.... thank you have a nice day

You are very lucky! Most people go to work everyday to a job they cant stand just to be able to feed their family. I hate when they deny overtime. Overtime becomes addicting. I now do overtime everyday. I act like I hate it. In my place of business if they know you like it they'll take it away. It's a control issue. I play the game. I make the money. Dont worry you'll get the overtime. Act like you dont want to do it. Supervisors love to aggrivate staff. Play their game and you'll get your wish. Good luck my friend! dl

Welcome to MyLot Xiapengyu( hope I spelled it right). I am honored that you would choose my discussion to be one of the first few you answered. People think that in your part of the world they have alot of companies making computers and cars etc. They automatically assume that your country pays you large wage to help create these things. NOT! You are going thru what so many of us are only its a much lower wage for you. What is the minimum wage you can be paid over there? For us its $8 per hour. I cant live on that

having a great working environment along with great co workers is the ultimate. Where you love your manager it makes for easier working conditions. It allows for office relations to better serve the clients and workers by not having to deal with arguments and take sides. You have a good thing my friend. Keep up the great work. dl
