Are you happy with your job?

[tierrlamé]

gotta find shortcuts

[devilish-cutie]

no, most of my coworkers are a nightmare and the work is quite dull

however the benefits are reall good as well as my paycheck

to change it, there isn't really anything im so keen on doing, it would be hard to find another a job with such good benefits and paycheck and third, its a very specific job that requires very sepcifis kind of skill so i wouldn't have experience for something else and this type of job is rare... so im in it for the money and benefits... and hope of new better coworkers... things are getting better but slowly

[tierrlamé]

yeah i get it, sometimes you just have to do it for the money. What field are you in?

[devilish-cutie]

Finance i work in the bank

[tierrlamé]

well that sure is where the money is.

[Siri137]

I hate my current job. I just don't want to be there anymore, even though I'm good at it, everyone says I'm good at it (I can talk someone into buying just about anything we have on display), and I get along with most of the people I work with.

[tierrlamé]

So you work in sales?

Are you applying for other jobs?

[Anonymous]

No. Work is being tortured. When you sign a work contract, you are agreeing to being tortured for a certain amount of time in exchange for a certain amount of money. That’s what work is. But you are forced to agree to being tortured, otherwise no home, no food. You are also wasting so many hours of your life each week for so many years. Missing out on life, just constant toil until you are dead.

[tierrlamé]

Damn thats deep bro. What you do?

[exitseven]

Yes it pays well, the commute isn't bad, my boss is a good guy and the owner of the company is a big Trump supporter. I have been here almost two tmtears already Theconly thingvi don't like is I do not get a lot of time off

[tierrlamé]

cool, sounds like you found a great job!

What does tmtears mean?

[exitseven]

It means I cannot type wotmrth a damn. It also means years

[tierrlamé]

okay cool

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[KittygosMeoWW]

No, it provides financially but I feel overwhelmed most days having to balance being a single mom and work life. I hardly spend time to myself and feel like my days are flying by without me actually enjoying time doing what I love. Which is spending time with my family and working on myself physically.

[tierrlamé]

thats sad to hear. would you rather be home with your kids?

[KittygosMeoWW]

I would’ve loved to have had the support of a partner to focus on my child and building a life yes at least for the first 5 years.

[naartjie]

I’m only happy every Tuesday… when my money comes in.
My work has become slightly less physical, still incredibly stressful after gaining a new position… but honestly I find myself questioning if the money is even worth it

[tierrlamé]

I see. What job?

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm an author. I can't really find a job because a- I'm picky, and b- I only have a tenth grade education, and c- I'm 14 years old.

[tierrlamé]

Cool!

I understand you're very young when you get older you will work more. You have your whole life infront of you to do whatever you want so its all good.:)

[StudyingAuthor]

I'm just trying to get to college. Actually, I'm going next spring, being homeschooled actually allows me to work at my own pace.

[tierrlamé]

thats really great! Hope it goes well!

[StudyingAuthor]

Thanks, I actually just got done, and made lunch for my brother. Now I've got to write. (I spend about 1- hours doing this.)

[tierrlamé]

Thats great! Keep going and you'll reach your goals!

[Babygirl_S]

Definitely! I only have to work for 2 or 3 hours and get a decent salary. My first job was hellish though.

[tierrlamé]

Thats great! What do you do now compared to then?

[Babygirl_S]

I had to work for 6 hours and was bullied.

[tierrlamé]

That sucks, glad you changed job

[deus_ex_sisyphus]

If your source of happiness is from a job, I feel sorry for you.

[tierrlamé]

its not for me but I do love my job. Are you happy with your job?

[exitseven]

@deus_ex_sisyphus. Yes, I never really tied my happiness to a career. it is pretty much a way to make money

[douride2]

I like my job. It's just the long hrs I don't care for.

[tierrlamé]

Cool, what field?

[douride2]

Heavy equipment.

[douride2]

@tierrlame I operate a Cat 966

[tierrlamé]

[douride2]

You don't have to be strong. All I have is 2 joysticks to operate a 50 ton loader.

[tierrlamé]

Cool!

[Anonymous]

Yes I LOVE my job! I'm one of the few people who can't wait for the weekend to end. That actually look forward to Monday.

[tierrlamé]

Thats great am glad to hear!

What do you do?

[Opinion Owner]

Stock trader.

[tierrlamé]

Interesting! Feel free to share more if you can

[Opinion Owner]

Like what? I'm no prodigy. I couldn't tell you anything you couldn't learn off the internet. I barely beat the market. But I continue to improve and learn and that's what motivates me.
Unless you truly want to put the work in. My best advice to you is to just invest in an index fund.

[Opinion Owner]

I make all kinds of blunders. Like I bought the largest gaining stock of 2023 in 2022 Nvidia. But my stupid ass sold it at a 52% return. It topped out at 239%.

[tierrlamé]

Yeah my friend lives off his stocks and makes a lot from it he told me about that one.. sounds like you know a lot too lol

[Opinion Owner]

Well I wish him continued success then. I don't feel like I know a lot. The market is always teaching me what I don't know. Last year was good, but was it? I made a 21.85% return for the year. But the s&p had a 24% return. So did I do well? I would have done slightly better in an index fund.
I retired from my 9 to 5 job from the firm I worked with for 23 years. I've passively invested for 23 years. Through my retirement plan. So I've really only picked up active investing in the past couple years.

[tierrlamé]

Sounds like you got more figured out than you realize. You're doing well trust me!

[BoopBoopBeep]

[jamesgoldman]

I started in scrap metal when I was 8 then just adapted after moving to where the scrap supply was scarce

[tierrlamé]

wow! So the field chose you in a way i guess

[jamesgoldman]

In a way I suppose it did, it was my grandad and uncles ho started me on scrap and one of those uncles who mentioned real metal i. e. gold to me

[tierrlamé]

I guess they helped then, thats great. Gold is worth more than silver right?

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah if you set aside the drug habits, petty crimes oh and the gun
Yeah gold's worth more than silver

[tierrlamé]

makes sense. and now when i see your username it makes sense too. If its not your real last name you should change it to that lol
