      [quote=\"peapot\"]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. 🙂

      agree, that's why I still meet up with my ex-colleagues every CNY for a gathering even though we left the company more than 20 years ago :rahrah:[/quote]Indeed, good colleagues are hard to come by :snuggles:

        Do i like my job?


        A resounding YES! :please:

        Whether it was teaching..
        Or being a mom.. :love:
        Or being a wife.. :evil:

        I LOVE it!

        PS. When teaching, i only dislike profiteering bosses and lazy colleagues who spoil the name of the job. :roll:
        But the work... i LOVE. :love:

          I love my job and bosses, but I hate my colleagues. What should I do?

            If your boss also loves you, no action is required. And if your boss loves you, it is likely that your colleagues will hate you too. But since your boss loves you, there is nothing your colleagues can do to you except for probably bad-mouth you behind your back. 🙂

              I was about to also complain that I hate my colleagues.
              Then I read this post, which made me laugh and laugh.

                In my previous job, I had the best of all worlds - great boss, great colleagues, great staff benefit, good salary package, good job prospect. I really love going to work! The only thing is long hours. But since, everything else is good, there is nothing much to gripe about. That is, until my child came along…


                To have time to fulfil my role as a mother, I left my old job and join an organization which observes sg office hours (previous job was with a US mnc. We report to USA and takes care of the aspac region and Europe). Life here has been described in my earlier posting. But I am try to hold my tongue - becos this current job allows me to spend more time with kiddo.

                I could hv scaled the heights of the corporate hierarchy but so what? Being part of my child’s growing up is far more meaningful. When people praise my child for being well mannered, I know I have a direct contribution.

                If I can choose, I rather be the mother of a successful person who credits me for what he is today then to be a successful person whose child cannot remember the face.

                    I believe experience still counts in certain trade profession, given an option, would you prefer a surgeon in his twenties or fourties to perform an operation?

                      do i like my job?? seriously i didn’t think of it… i think i will only like my job when 1st and most importantly my boss must like me… 2nd if my boss like me then mostly likely i will like my boss… 3rd pay package must be good… 4th good office environment…


                      after working for 20+yrs i realised that not everything (in fact most of the things) in work can be distinguished as right/wrong or black/white… a lot of time we are all working in the grey area… and how long a person can stay on a job is how long the person can work in that grey area… and how high a person can climb in the corporate ladder is how well the person can manage without making mistake in that grey area…

                      not sure am i making sense here or not…

                        I feel it could be a priority and mindset issue in this case.


                        i used to like my job cos i could do what my strength allows me to. but its a stressful job which entails traveling and long hours. my priorities shifted somewhat along the way when i realize that my kids need me more, and so now am trying to get out of the job cos it is robbing me of my time and energy with my kids.

                        ask that question two years ago and now and the answers can be quite different.
