    I have a love/hate relationship with my job... but then I got a 50% raise, and work modified bankers hours most of the time, so I really can't fuss too much.

      Chick-fil-a does some great things for young people if they love Jesus.

      Keeping it OT: I am in the service industry. My job is the thing I can stand to do which makes the most money and provides the most free time, which for me is managing a bar and restaurant. I work long hours three days one week and four the next. We do live music four nights a week. I like the people and hate the drunks. The place is pretty small but the owner takes great care of the employees and I earn an actual living wage. I am working on buying in and taking over the owners job (GM) which would allow me to work days instead of nights. evenings with the family would be nice.

        Not so much on hating the job, it's a lot to do with how much getting paid more to do it.

            I hate my job and I'm stuck with it for the next 2-3 years.

            I'm a controls electrician. I work with a team of machine builders refabricating old machines and building new. Once the machine builders are done building the machine I get to wire it, often in half or a quarter of my quoted time period due to them slacking. Also I have to deal with the unlevel, crooked engineers from the plant, who try to screw us out of time (deadlines), money, or anything else they can, with the threat of being "black balled" and never receiving work from that plant again.

            I'm a 3rd generation electrican and a 4th generation autoworker and when it comes to my job, sometimes I hate my life.

                I hate my job, but it's only due to sheer boredom. I'm someone who needs to be challenged and learn new things, and I have been stuck doing the same mundane things for a couple years at this point. I expressed my interest in branching out, and my manager let it be known that they like what I'm doing and how I do it, and see no reason to change it. I'm also underpaid like hell, and being that I'm in pricing and do the company reporting I can track exactly how much I put to the bottom line.

                The caveat is that I'm also in school, and they are cool with working with me on the hours I work and allow me to take a class during the day. This is significant considering that I have an actual professional 8-5 job. I'm casually looking elsewhere, but it will be hard to find somewhere else that's cool with the school schedule.

                  Loved my previous job at a dealership, became really good friends with my manager, things were great. moved out to AZ to pursue my DJ path, got a job at another dealership, HATED it. General manager was a COCK SUCKER (literally so i hear) so i quite that place, and pursued my DJing on a full time basis

                  not making awesome money atm, but my quality of life is AWESOME :)

                    I love my job in a sense that they have been very good to me, the pay is excellent, and the benefits are a plus. The only thing I don't like is how boring it is! I work nights as a security guard for a social networking company. I mean, my desk is nice, the building is VERY nice, it's just boring! I work 1am-9am. Been here for 10.5 months with no plans to leave.

                    I had a lot more fun working at a BMW shop (TNG) as a service writer. Loved that job and we always had fun! I worked a lot more hours there though and didn't even make half of what I am making now.

                      I hate my job. Thats why yesterday was my last day there.
                      I worked at a music store. Me being a musician, what would be better than that?
                      It was fun at first, but the company, Music And Arts, which is owned by Guitar Center, is probably the most unorganized company ive ever seen. I felt no true professionalism from anyone there. After my district manager found out i was leaving, i bumped into him on my way in one day and didnt even bother to greet me. He just kept walking like a loser.
                      As for money, Minimum. $7.25, as a part timer. I worked my ass off to get promoted, but my co worked ended up getting, who acts like a child when i work with him. He went to jail for shop lifting a few weeks ago and they decided to keep him. Not only is that the worst decision ever, but it offended me too. Not once did they mention for me to take his place. Not to sound cocky, but i was a damn good employee. No complaints from any customers. Thats what made me pull the plug. I didnt feel valued as an employee there, so i left.

                      That was definitely a venting moment.
                      I don't even own this car anymore, but I'm too lazy to change the picture.

                        Nope.

                        Fun job, great pay, great benefits with an established company that has HUGE potential for growth.

                          I work two jobs.

                          One in a smal buisiness department store/tire place. Im a bike assembler, stock boy and tire installer. Its an allright Job. My manager can be the biggest asshole one minute and the coolest guy the next. Last time he was mad at me it was because he wanted me to work saturday nights. So i came in in the morning on saturday, and he was pissed. He didnt ask or tell me to work nights, he didnt write it down. He just decided it one day and expected me to know.... Other then stupid crap like that it hasnt been a bad job at all.

                          Im a mechanics assistant at the Navy base here (on my 2nd round of summer student hire)At first it was great, their was plenty to do, i could stay overtime and bang out work, working on all different kinds of stuff, cranes ,construction equipment, trucks etc. recently there has been nothing to do. Some people have been promoted, others retired , and now nobody is ordering parts or managing the mechanics. Ill be done there in june and going on to work at a dealership hopefully.
