What is your job now?

[Shadow Kisuragi]

Finance "firm", eh?

Financial porn is a real thing.

[bum-man]

I just left a job in financial porn.....er I mean financial industry.  After 17+ years managing a small development team at a bank I left to become IT Director for a logistics company.

I quit the Red Cross. The travel was too much. So now I'm a stay at home dad again and work part time for u-haul.

Work for a company that Shreds documents, and preps/scans documents.

Still with the same company but my job responsibilites have greatly increased.  I'm the shop guy and do everything from shredding, baling, loading trucks, painting etc. etc.  I run all the equipment at the shop: skid steer, fork lift, hi-lift, baler etc.

As for myself: I work the cash office of a grocery store. It basically involves adding cash to the checkstands before the place opens, counting the take from the day before, and accounting for everything in the safe.

It's only part-time, but I do have health and dental coverage at least, as well as paid vacation time.

Still working the cash office, but now I've been given the title of "brand advocate." Basically, I find local events the store can participate in, confer with district management and other brand advocates, and attend these events to help promote the store. It doesn't come with a raise in pay, but I am getting more hours. In fact, thanks to a management changeover, I'm racking up some good overtime... which helps out my financial situation, but puts a real crimp in my thrifting runs. Fortunately, my Saturdays are still free for yard-sale runs...

last time I messaged on here I was working at a Costume shop ... but since then I am in college for animation ... and I will soon be transferring to a larger school in California where I was offered an internship at CN

 ... so I am in the transition to a much better job right now.

As of three weeks ago, I'm no longer a central office "techie" at a phone/internet provider, dealing with thousands of customers and their constant calls and attitudes & complaints.  I was there for 7 years, but I couldn't take the massive stress and complacent manager and fellow techs.  Is it wrong to hope they fold after my departure?

NOW, I'm working as the Network Security Engineer under the County Sheriffs Office for the 911 center.  Salaried position for the same pay, less stress and much better benefits, the ability to brainstorm and improve MY network as I see it most beneficial without corporate confrontation, improved training and certification opportunities, just one customer/office that I need to keep operational, much more free time without being expected to monitor a cell phone and email 24/7, and MORE FREE TIME TO PLAY GAMES!

sounds like a nice change, congrats!

Job satisfaction.  The key to finding a position you should stick with.  Last night we had an "issue" that required I head to the office and rewire some workstations.  After a long night, the sheriff was at the building to thank me for my efforts when I arrived.  Very cool.

it's the little things that make it that much better

[Haoie]

I've been at my job for almost a year. Accounting and admin.

Overworked and underpaid!

[russlyman]

I work at a movie theater as a assistant manager for almost 3 years.
I also work in the bake shop at Stop&Shop.

I delivered pizza for about a year too. Three jobs were tough to get to all work together.
