Do you like your job?

justlatte:

my boss is always on facebook and asking to add him on facebook...some of my colleagues added and kinda regretted. nothing serious. i just tell him no thanks i dun wan my boss on my fb. haha.

I know of friends who add n then secretly delete - so as not to offend the boss!! :evil:

Now that’s a great idea!!

Actually I also don’t connect with my colleagues because once you start, you don’t know where your comment will end up with.

I don’t really like my job but I can go on for at least 6 months- it’s boring but manageable.

I don’t really like my co-workers but I can co exist with them in harmony - they are stubborN but simple folks, so just spend time explaining things at their level, be patient and smile a lot.
I don’t really like my team mates but I can work independently - they are a mix of bimbos who think they know everything becos they have been there for years and aunties who always hear one thing when you tell them another.
I don’t like my boss but she earns her stripes for working hard.
I am only around because this job offers me stability, regular hours (I can go home at 5.30pm almost everyday), have Internet access (but cannot view sg pool, fb, you tube etc) and a reasonable wage for the level/volume of work I am required to do.

Oh yes, I forget to add - I have some really nice lunch kakis whom I can talk to about many things. These small group of people made my current working environment a nicer place to work.

how about saying you don't have FB or not active..?

Or create a fake/2nd a/c just to add him..

Like Imami,

I don’t really like my job as it’s boring but I can make use of the time to do other stuff.
I can’t really click with my colleagues (different wave length) but I can co exist with them in harmony.
Most of all, I don’t like my boss because he can act very friendly but he likes to spot-check where I am. He can tell others" Where is she?" Even, when I’m standing less than 1 metre from him. I can’t talk to others as he’ll say, "Ladies …are you gossipping?"

I am only around because this job offers me stability, regular hours (I can go home at 5.30pm almost everyday to fetch my kids), have Internet access and a reasonable wage for the level/volume of work I am required to do.

Thus, I always tell myself to stay for the sake of our family.

It is difficult to marry your interests with your job. If you have to do something you like everyday, you might not like it after some time. Instead of trying to find a job that you like, which is very difficult and may result in job hopping, why not learn to like your job. Learn to like what you are doing and make the best out of what you have.

Alng, learning to like my job is ok but learning to like my boss is a pain in the neck!

haha, that I agree. I also realise from past experiences that when we have a nasty boss, the colleagues then to be nicer and more united.
