Is there anything you dont like/would change about your job if you could?
I wouldnt change my job but as my job is listening to people who are depressed/suicidal etc. Sometimes it can be emotionally draining. But I do learn a lot from my job.
What about you?
Fast food is physically draining from standing up all shift. Back hurts too. Haha
Erm probably not, maybe having more time to do stuff.
More money of course and more staff. Currently operating with only 9 staff when we need at least another 6 but apart from that I wouldn't change it.

I was basically an administrator for this woman who taught foriegn people english and I absolutely hated it. I done all her boring adminy jobs which just really drained me, I wanted more of a people interaction but she'd always give me jobs like making documents and brochures
Didn't like how personal it was either, she'd expect me to do stuff for free and I'm not confident enough to say no
right now I want a retail job or something where I can constantly be working with people and chatting to them and not have to worry about my job when I go home!!
thank god i quit that place tho

So there's a positive about that job that maybe you haven't seen yet? :)
Try something like stocking shelves in retail. Standing on your feet for large amounts of time is physically draining, so as long as you can sit or even kneel for a few minutes, that'll really help.Quote:

Yeah I like my job, and at the moment I can't see myself doing anything else. I work in retail and although there will be some negative things about it (we've just had a meeting about posting about our work negatively on social media so I won't go into that stuff much), but overall I do like it!
In August I will have done the job for 5 years, and I've applied for a promotion twice, but both times I was overlooked (I wish I'd have been told I had no chance because I'd have applied just for the interview experience and wouldn't have needed to stress at all). I'm the person every customer sees when they first walk in, I also have to look out for shoplifters and shifty customers as well! The wage is above the minimum which is good as well.
It sounds like you were wrongly overlooked tbh! Do you think you'll apply again if a position comes up?Quote:

I have realised I do want to move on something else though, something that I genuinely do want to do but I think it'll be a while before I find anything like that, I need to move town for better opportunities and/or actual start working towards it in other ways.
Be less labour intensive somehow, half the day working in the office, half the day working.
I would burn my work place to the ground if I could. Okay, maybe not — but I hate it. Gave in my notice today and felt so liberated.
so i actually love my job it's just really stressful and I don't think I get enough recognition for the work I do!!
I started my job Monday, I don't see anything I would change about it apart from more fans in the place because I sweat too much lol
Substitute teacher!
