I selected other, I like it but I don't love it. My colleagues are nice and well mannered, my boss is very nice and flexible. It's a boring job but a nice environment to work with and pay is average.

I actually really like my job. And at one point I'd sworn off all office work. Bc my first job in office work was tedious and I hated it. But the job was of a different type of work and the office environment was different.

There are so many factors that can make or break a job. Thank God more factors make this job for me.

I have a playgroup, I love my job but it's exhausting and I sometimes wonder if I should look for something else!! I've been doing for 25 yrs so not sure how to start something else at this point...

Voted other.
I don't *love* my job. I do it for the salary. I like coming to work, and I like my colleagues. I wouldn't work if I didn't have to though.

I do like my job since getting a promotion. But a change of scenery would be great.

I chose other.
If I could just do what's in my job description, I'd love the job. But since the boss doesn't know how to do HIS job, my job suffers.

I teach and I love it. The salary isn't what's keeping me there although free tuition, great schedule and frum environment are huge perks.

I'm also a writer and I love that too. Although working two jobs can have its stresses, overall I'm very thankful to feel tremendous fulfillment from both of my jobs.

I love certain aspects of what I do and detest others. It's hard to imagine a job in which a person loves every single thing about it. I imagine that even a glamour job like a singer or dancer doesn't love shlepping around from place to place in all kinds of weather to perform at other people's convenience.

OTOH a friend of mine loves her job beyond anything. She eats, breathes and sleeps her job and would do it for free if she didn't need to earn a living. Overall mine is a good job but no way I'd do it for free.

Yes, I like my job.

I've been at this job for 5 years and there have been ups and downs. I work with some difficult people who can really make it a miserable experience. The owner also sold the business to a larger company so there were a lot of changes when they took over. The pandemic also meant a lot of adjustments in the way we work.

After 5 years though I feel like I've hit my stride. I've figured out how things work, what things I'm good at and how to improve in some of the areas I'm not so good at. I'm starting to get more positive feedback and appreciation when in the beginning it seemed that it was all criticism and I couldn't do anything right.

I’m a sheitel macher. Love what I do. Earn about 100k depending on the year. When mothers tell me their kids r interested in wigs I tell them to push their DDs cuz it’s a great field. I don’t work wnvr kids r off like midwinter etc. have the flexibility to stop a week before yt..
problem is that there is a shortage of wigs now so the whole industry is sorta one big Debby downer. Not quite enjoying myself these days. Hoping the good ‘ol days will return soon ...

I work in recruiting. I love that I get to help people without the emotional burden of being a therapist. Its a nice feeling when you find someone a good job.

Could I do without my boss yes. He is very nice but also a super micro manager and it burns you out at some point.

I like my job, but I can’t say that I love it. I look forward to going to work every day Baruch HaShem.

Can you elaborate more?
Why is it a debby downer? You sell wigs as well as wash and set etc? Do you have overhead? How can you stop a week before yt, isn't that busy season?
