The Top 10 Reasons I Like/Love My Job
- I'm bossy, grouchy & sometimes nosey. I get paid to be in other folks' business & boss them around. What more could I ask for?
- I'm the youngest & only minority female on the management team.
- I don't punch a clock. I'm free to come & go as I please.
- Even tho I have a manager, she doesn't micro-manage me. I do my work, my way.
- I get to put folks in their place, tactfully of course, and there's not a damn thing they can say or do.
- As a young, black, teen mother, from the projects no less, it feels good when the higher educated, stuffed white shirts need to come to me for the answers.
- I have the respect of the executives, managers, fellow middle managers & subordinates.
- White folks think I'm the go-to person for all things "black". They know they won't be met with eye/neck rolling and attitude, when they simply want to know something about "us".
- I have a say in all social functions. I try to make sure "we" aren't bored to tears or starve to death {which happened once & I'll tell about it later}.
- Lastly, I can mess around on-line at my leisure & have no worries.
Now tell me what you like/love about your job.
ummm...I am a question Ms HR Specialist...**being coy** I don't wanna beat around the bush or nothing...and uh..I know we all family and all...but ....I would like to kick my boss inthe chest. How can I do this without receiving any sort or disciplinary action or retaliation? Well, I'm not really worried about any retaliation..he don't want none of my 2-strike-having-cousins pay him a visit...well, I'm off track...what I really want to know is....what is the best way to discreetly dispose of a manager?

5. My boss totally trusts my decisions

7. I have input in all social and business functions we're involved in
8. No clock punching
9. I'm the youngest on staff
10. We all get along well for the most part.
1. Work from home a lot.
ReplyDelete2. I'm on salary, so I don't have to clock hours.
3. My best friend owns the company.
That's all I have.
Hmmm, let me ponder.
ReplyDeleteOkay, here goes
1) I am very good at what I do(I like being good at things)
2) My manager is cool as hell(I'll call in late and come in two hours late and he'll be like "Just put it in as 8 hours, nobody knows you were late but me and I don't care" lol)
3) At this point, I am almost indispensible(no one knows out system as well as he and I do, and if I weren't here, let's just say that would be a BIG issue for the company, and they know it lol)
4) I can take the subway so I don't have to drive (I don't drive in DC unless REALLY necessary)
5) I've built up a few government contacts (so once I do decide to move on I know some people who will look out for me)
6) They have a free exercise facility in my building
7) There are a lot of nice looking women in my building(none of them are in my department, but I still get to look at them from time to time in the building lol)
8) I don't have to wear a tie lol
9) The organization that I work for (well contract for) does good things. They do a lot for the community (well, ALL communities actually, it's the Coprporation for National Service lol)
10) I work on the computer all day so I have ready access to this place lol
That's a huge plus!
ReplyDeleteYou play too much!!!! Hey Soror!!!! *hug*
ReplyDeleteYou play too much!!!! Hey Soror!!!! *hug*
ReplyDeleteCan't beat those perks with a baseball bat... Thank God for your blessing... I complain alot about my job, but in reality, its not so bad and I make a very decent living,,,,and besides I gotta love a place that will allow me to wear my baseball or skull cap all week cuz I just dont know what the hell to do to my hair is alright with me... lol
ReplyDeleteBut thats cool...and I could tell very early on that you were bossy... You cant tell me what to do... hmph... lol
1.Being made to feel like an equal team member and not hired help or a subordinate
ReplyDelete2.Having a cool ass boss who knows what it means to be a working parent and thus needing time off to attend to the kids, or leave early b/c they're sick or to see them in a play
3.Not being lorded over or having someone peering over my shoulder
4.Having a thoughtful person to work for who SHOWS appreciation – she made sure to send me flowers and a balloon for Admin Assistants day yesterday, even tough she’s in Las Vegas
5.Being told I am getting a raise and promotion without even having to ask for one
6.Feeling my skills and contributions are worthy of recognition
7.Making the office run smoother due to a suggestion or idea I offered
8.Being given the tools to do your job well, whether it’s upgrading my software, being offered numerous professional development opportunities or having complete access and understanding of your supvsrs’s job without them being threatened by me having more knowledge.
9.Having someone is who unafraid to tell others what a good job I’ve done or am doing, publicly
10.Having good sense enough to keep my feet planted in this organization until God says move. I almost left two years ago due to issues I had with my former supvsr…it was a bad match and it made for a tumultuous start to my career (this is my first “real” job since graduation)
11.Although they make me cringe sometimes, the co-workers are mostly good people. I don't mind having to work with them on things or assisting them when they need me, etc. I started a walking club during our lunch breaks, and have learned a great deal about ppl I wouldn't normally get a chance to see or even talk to. It's a really nice way to appreciate folks more.
