Do you get to listen to music while at work?

[Simslover92]

One of the perks to my current job is that we get to listen to music. A lot of my jobs I wasn't able to and they sucked because of it. I feel like the day goes by so much faster when you're listening to music.

[Abbycado]

Nope. Currently part time lifeguard at the athletic center at school. Have to pay attention. Boooooring.

In the summer, I can’t either because it’s a service industry job.

[Simslover92]

Dang that sucks. Music just seems to make time fly by. But your jobs sound really cool especially the lifeguard job!

[Abbycado]

Lmao, lifeguard is the worst. Sit. Stare. No one is drowning. Repeat. XD

[Simslover92]

Haha oh I thought there would be some kind excitement from time to time. Like someone needing help with swimming or something. Sorry it's that boring ☹️

[Abbycado]

It’s a college athletics center pool. If they drown, they deserved it.

I should be able to listen to music!!! XD

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. That's true.

And you definitely should! XD

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes lol at my last job I could watch tv while writing contracts

[Simslover92]

Oh I bet that was nice. I used to do that at the first real job I had. I would watch so many shows on Netflix. I miss that.

[KittygosMeoWW]

Yes I lowkey miss the stocking jobs I did in my teens because of that

[Simslover92]

What do you do now?

[KittygosMeoWW]

I’ll dm you

[Simslover92]

K!!!

[Mark987]

Yes,... Music keeps my sanity... I don't know what I would do without music.

[Simslover92]

Same.

[Mark987]

What do you listen to mostly?

[Simslover92]

Paramore Coldplay muse

[Simslover92]

You?

[Mark987]

Everything from hip hop to temptations... lknkin park, Billie Ellish... big fan of Jelly Roll right now.

[Simslover92]

Oh I love Billie Eilish! And Linkin Park!

[Mark987]

Linkin Park loved Chester

[Mark987]

I am mostly a hip hop person.. but overall my top 2 are Michaael Jackson, and Whitney Houston voice wise.

[Simslover92]

RIP Chester!

[ohsheeT]

I try to listen to music everywhere anywhere I'm atb

[Simslover92]

Same here!

[AI Opinion]

Listening to music at work can indeed enhance productivity and make the day feel shorter, especially if it helps you focus and enjoy your tasks more. Music can create a pleasant atmosphere and reduce stress. It's great that your job allows it! Just ensure it doesn't distract from your responsibilities or hinder communication with colleagues. Balancing enjoyable tunes with work efficiency can lead to a more fulfilling and productive work experience.

[7Phoenix7]

Nope lol not allowed to listen to music while passing meds 😅.

[Simslover92]

Yeah that wouldn't be great lol

[WhitneySnow]

No because my summer job is in retail and I need to deal with customers but when I’m working on schoolwork I do

[Simslover92]

Do you like it? I tried retail and hated it.

[Simslover92]

Probably because I couldn't listen to music lol

[WhitneySnow]

I like it, but it doesn’t pay well and it’s defo not a career choice. Just a summer job.

[Simslover92]

Oh ok. Well I'm glad you like it at least.

[WhitneySnow]

Thanks! Glad you like your job too.

[Simslover92]

Thanks!

I get to listen to music with the kids/teens when they wish.

I will at times throw on some music during morning shifts when I'm really tired and pretend it's a pedagogical podcast if someone asks.

[bowenw]

Yes anytime I want, but sometimes I don't when I have to really focus on something.

[Simslover92]

Same here. Like when I start my morning I usually leave it off for a while or when I'm trying to grasp a new task, I will tend to leave the music off.

[bowenw]

Great minds think alike.

[katiesmuff]

Yes we have music from the time we open until we close. Most of it is piped in music, but Friday and Saturday evenings we have a DJ or a live band for customer enterninment.

[Nikki1989]

I can, but usually the second I start that the phone will ring, or a client will walk in the door.

[exitseven]

Yes, I had to keep it down but I uses to listen to music.

[genericname85]

i could listen to music but truth be told i'm often so focused on the job, that i wouldn't even notice music is running.

[jamesgoldman]

When I volunteer I have a radio

Not really the rest of the time

[DrPepper12]

Anytime kids weren't in class there was music playing.

[IslaTheWitch]

I do... I listen to music all the time...

[BCRanger10]

Yes, though I listen more to podcasts.

[Phoebe85]

I do all day except when I sleep.

[Simslover92]

Same

[Phoebe85]

And get to work from home.

[Simslover92]

That's great. I will be working from home soon so I won't have to use headphones anymore. I can just play it on my speakers.

[Jennz6]

Yes, and dance

[Jeff51]

Yes if we want.

[Anonymous]

I used to, at one of my ex jobs.

[dudeinohio]

Not really.

[TwoToTooTutu2]

Yeah

[fish5505_87]

Yes!

[Bklynbadboy12]

Yes I do

[eagle1951]
