I suspect that's the only reason the number is so high.

I'm looking for a .gov gig, but they're tough to come by if you haven't done your time in the .mil. Sucks, since it's the only growth industry left.

This year at work we got a 3% "This Economy"(tm) pay cut, our annual increase in health insurance costs and reduction of health benefits, and more work since we're the lucky 50% or so who haven't been laid off yet.

Arbeit macht frei, y'all.

Yeah they should just spread eagle, cook and clean.

I'm cool with my job. I do different things every day and meet different people in varied settings. best of all, I show up at the office at 8am leave and don't have to be back until the next morning at 8 am. As long as my work is done nobody cares how I do it and I work at my pace by myself.

I make good money and get annual increases. I manage my own job queue and don't get grief unless I'm loafing (ie. it has never happened). I haven't been micro-managed since I told New Boss that I didn't appreciate being micro managed. The job keeps my brain engaged. The human scenery is great. I've got it pretty good.

My job sucks. Grossly underpaid, boss is a douche, but the people are cool.

Basically get to set your own hours, within reason, and handle work the way you feel is appropriate. Some things still need approval, but as long as you're doing your job, it's suppose to be pretty good.

What exactly do you do?

I've been there. Last January (when I worked in TV) we laid off 13 people and the people who were lucky enough to keep their jobs took a mandatory 3.9% pay cut and lost all OT. So really it was more than just 4%.

A week later I applied for the Guv job I have now. My buddies in news still haven't got their 3.9% back...

There's a lot to be said about that.

Its too early for me to say for certain, but after quitting the crappy job for this local govt job, getting weekends, holidays and time and a half off for working OT(found this out today), I think I can say regardless of the crap I deal with, I like my job. And so far, its decent. Coworkers are cool, boss is great, and as long as I get my job done and take care of business, my time is my ow

HurricaneHeather · 01-06-2010, 05:52 PM

I want to punch my boss in the face today and pretty much everyday.

I'm just bored and so is everyone else and we are all women. So you know what bored women do? Start drama.

anthonyk · 01-06-2010, 05:56 PM

I still like my job, and I'm doing all I can to make sure it stays around for the long haul. Can't complain at all.
