Who is genuinely happy in their job?

I'm happy. I have the visibility to get recognised and flexibility to develop anything I create a casefor, and on >£60k before I was 25 :D

I barely do any 'work' at my job. The most I have done in the past year is catch up on TV series, movies and music... there is nothing happening in the company. I'm meant to do tech support, but never get any calls.

I have been looking for a new job for a long while, just not finding anything. It's not easy to get a job at the mo.

But on the good side I've started watching Dexter and what an awesome series it is... highly recommend it! Lol.

Very boring here but it's money coming in for now. The sooner I can get a new job the better.
 
I was happy in my old job. Could come and go as I wanted as long as I did the job. Nice pay and nice people. It was also good to know everything about the place. So that when it was quiet I could surf the net or go out shopping, take extra hours of lunch etc without feeling like there was something I should have been doing instead.

Didn't realise until I quit though :(

Sounds awesome. What is your job if you don't mind me asking?

I'm basically a bridge between sales and technical at a software company. I work with partners and our internal teams to create go to market propositions and help our customers deliver these to reduce their own costs and differentiate their managed service offerings.
 
Genuinely happy, that's a tough one. I think for that to happen I'd have to be getting paid over 100k a year, do minimal hours, have minimal stress, etc, etc.

I like my job, damn site better than where I used to work (see Khaaan!s post above).

There are always things that can be improved or bettered, and as a result I'm not 100% happy. I'm most of the way there though as the important criteria are ticked: Pays Bills, Funds Lifestyle, Laid Back, Reasonably good pay, Don't travel far, good co-workers, job that I find interesting/enjoyable.
 
Was happy a few years ago but then stupidly took a promotion from Warehouse Manager to what I'm doing currently.

I now do multi-site General Management and it involves spending a shed load of the time in the car, nights away from the family and spending more time in London then I'd ever want to when I bloody hate the place.
 
I'm happy with my job/career, I pick and choose my work, take breaks between contracts and the money is much better than full-time positions without the risk of burning out and with the added bonus of using my free time to do work on personal projects.

I was a call-centre monkey, for orange.
people can laugh at me if they want, it doesn't bother me as for the most part i was truly happy, i like helping people and it's what i did day in day out!
 
Happy enough.

Pay is right for what I do.
The people I work with are AWESOME, manager included!
Role is interested and varied enough to keep me occupied.
I'm good enough at blitzing through my work that I have enough idle time to faff about on forums. ;)
 
I'm not happy nor do I hate my job, I'm just .... ok. I get paid a lot for doing very little. The main thing keeping me there is the fact that I'm grossly overpaid for what I do. I enjoy my colleagues and bosses too. It really is a big group of mates hanging together and getting paid for it. On the other hand, I feel like the best years of my life is slowly creeping by and I still haven't found my true calling.
 
prison service - full of bullies, ****s who thinks that if you shout at someone enough they will do it, oh and seem to think they can make you work more than your hours the prisoners are fine its the managers!

Prison Officer Job Satisfaction 0/10 100% meaningless box ticking




Can you tell ive had a bad week lol
 
Loving my work at the moment, tough times in sales at the moment but still looking 100% positive. Also inline for a £5k pay rise in coming weeks/months which I can not wait for, will be £11k rise since I started year and half ago! :)
