Until I'm self employed again - it'll always be lower than normal.

In before the poll...
I'm fine with my gig, I am paid very well. It is dangerous at times, as well as uncomfortable physically and mentally, but it is challenging work that never really gets boring even after almost 20 years of doing it. Something different and new almost every day. There is certainly BS that I have to deal with, but every job is like that, that's why they call it a job. Plus I have a Union Pension, Great Insurance, and Company matched 401k. It's a great job, well career. |

I was actually going to post a thread about this.
A promotion came available in my department. I applied for it last time and lost out in the last rounds to a lady that worked here for about 2 years before moving onto something else. My boss wants me to apply for it again. It would be supervising three women in my office who absolutely despise me, as well as the other 4 employees in our office. I would also be going from hourly to salary....so I'd lose out on any overtime that I worked. If it's the same as last time....the salary bump only works out to like $6-$7 extra per hour. I've got three weeks to decide if I want to apply for it. |

I make good money and have good benefits, but I work for the devil doing it. Overall I can’t complain too much. I definitely like being outside all day, even if it means coming home sweaty and dirty.

I work in county government and there is a union. Firing isn't an option unless I'm playing the long game and that would take 8 years. Best I could hope for is the biggest pain in the ass would retire as soon as she learns that I'm her boss. She already hates my boss.

I love what I do, where I do it, who I do it with and who I do it for.
I could not possibly be happier with my job. |

I’m primarily self employed. As such it is hard to fit in a box.
On the aggregate I’m far happier, have more money, and am less dissatisfied with my job by a tremendous margin. With that though, I carry a lot of stress. A LOT. I also absolutely ****ing despise when employees insert their heads into their rectums which I didn’t carry as an employee as I wasn’t directly responsible for their output. I also work a shitload of hours and don’t get to do a lot of the stuff I like to do. I also carry a lot more financial risk that I’m acutely aware of and have risk exposures all over the place that I can’t afford to mitigate. Quote:

I retired last Halloween after 32+ years with Uncle Sam between my time in uniform and as a civilian. Started delivering pizzas as a part-time gig recently for extra "hobby" money and to help stay busy. I enjoy the fact that if they pizz me off I can say "bu-bye" and walk out without worrying about paying the light bill.
