Are you happy with your job?

I like my job, what I don't like is incompetent work colleagues and being underpaid.

The more work you do, the more chance everything gets blamed on you. When management is incompetent they blame it on people below them and usually the person who does all the work gets attacked first.
 
I'm happy with the work, happy with the pay ... reasonably happy with the people I work with, hate the location (London)

Do you get attacked groen?
 
Sometimes... I work in the public sector, over the past few years my dept has had a 40-50% reduction in staff, combined with a big increase in paperwork and workload, and an ever higher level of expectation from the public..
 
Yes and no.

I get to design cool things like movie inspired application interfaces for a pretty awesome array of global clients, some of the projects I've been exposed to recently will undoubtedly catapult my career. However, the job is stressful, it's hard to be consistently churning out creative solutions to fairly complex systems under pressure, the hours can be long and you are expected to go above and beyond on a constant basis - infact, it's even stated in my contract so there's no arguing for '9-5'.

If I had it my way, I'd work for myself. All the hours, stress and hard work for benefits way beyond my CV. I just haven't found an angle to come into business at yet, if I was going to hit a saturated market, I'd need to be confident on having a USP.
 
I'm not keen on my job as it's customer facing and the pay is low. But then again, at the end of the shift, I can sod off, go and do whatever, and forget about work. And the staff are a good laugh.
 
Yeah love my job. Very small company 4 employees and a manager. Everyone's acts like they're on the same level, no looking up or down on anyone, we work well together, a lot in common, similar backgrounds, manager is understanding and loves honesty, you get the pic, it's great. :)
 
No. The company I work for are a pain, the company we are contracted to are worse. The company they are contracted to used to have us, but we have been passed out twice and tbh I'm fed up of working for a managed service company now rather than the main company.
 
Nope, started off a pretty good IT job but now my boss want's the helpdesk to focus more on telecom's than IT so i am being forced to do work i do not wish to learn with double the workload and no extra pay have not learned anything new in IT since i basically started 2 and a half years ago.

Only plus side is i get a week a month working from home doing nightshift.
 
Been in Asset Management - developing Housing investment programmes and Asset Data now for 10 years. Maybe time for a change soon..I want to sell ice creams in Australia but hear the pay wouldn't be as good but the visual treats and majority of people happy to see you would give me job satisfaction!
 
Not any more. The atmosphere has changed (for the worse), the company direction and management is shocking to say the least, and the fact that I've had to watch many talented colleagues leave due to the actions of one particular manager is off-putting to say the least.

It's a shame, as I used to love this place, and the relatively high pay and close proximity to home made it ideal.
 
I love my job!

I work as a self employed GIS consultant for one of the big environmental research centres of the EU. The team are awsome, the work is varied, challenging and still manageable (most of the time), the money is great etc etc, The only thing is that I'm not based in my home country of England and dream of moving back!
 
I pretty much hate my job now. Workload and expectations of me are far too high, salary too low. I need to find a new job I think :)
