No job no $$$

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. -

I have come to realise that there is no right or wrong in work, if a boss likes you, he can justify for himself any sort of blunders you made but if boss frowns at the sight of you, :wrongmove: he will pick on almost anything that is associated with you... :sad:

i dont like the 24/7 working hours. public holidays and birthday also got to work.
there are times i resist going away on trips because there is no ME time. i still got to work 24/7.
yeah, most of all, i dislike the cooking. always got a "C" or "D".
but still it is something i got to do and love to do (minus the cooking).
yeah, i am a SAHM. -

actually i don't buy those career experts who said one will excel if he chooses the job he like to do... this is like fairy tales to me... to me in the real world one should find a boss who look highly upon you and willing to give you opportunities, that's the most important.... -
A boss who likes u is like a mentor. Obviously is important to have inorder to survive and move ahead.
However when one reaches 50, situation always changes. Must learn not to hve any boss after 55. -
People join companies; People leave their bosses…
