Many of the Network/Service Technicians and Engineers in ntl will find this familiar these days! It's certainly what they say in ntl South Wales.

Re: Job satisfaction

Well I like my job because it means I generally don't have to work too hard to make sufficient money!

Technically I could say I'm at it 24/7 because it's in the room next door to this one!

Re: Job satisfaction

I don't have a boss and I am amply recompensed.....working from our annex:p

.....but I have had lots of real sh*tty jobs with ba*tard bosses for bugg*r all money so I can entirely sympathise with anyone who is unhappy in their job.

Re: Job satisfaction

I'm really happy where I am, there's a great bunch of people and the job is interesting. But I voted 'ok' rather than '24/7' because I also believe in work/life balance and I have a lovely wife and son too. I couldn't miss out on time with them just to spend longer hours in an office, no matter how good the job.

Re: Job satisfaction

I like my current job. Which is also my longest in the same position. Its an interesting and still fairly specialist field MPEG/DVB. I learn things all the time, get toys to play with and for the most part enjoy it. I'm gonna vote for OK tho, as theres been a few occasions where problems have meant I've been there for over 24 hrs, and at that point I've gone way past enjoying it. Also the 19th of September 2002 at 1.10 in the morning was the start of the worst day I've ever had at work.

Re: Job satisfaction

I must admit to being %100 happy with my job.

It's got to be the best job I've ever had.

Watch TV - play on my gameboy sp - play about on my pocket computer.

Whatever I like....
