I don't hate it, which feels like a win in insurance. Or in any industry, for that matter. Some days are great, some days I want to frisbee my laptop out the window. Even on those days, I know things could be worse and having a job isn't something I should take for granted in 2026.
Ever since I was a small child, I have always dreamed of insurance jobs… said no one ever. Do I enjoy what I do? Eh, it’s not terrible. I do really enjoy the stability, paycheck, and paid time off, though. It gives me the chance to explore the things I really like after the workday.

My young adult kids see my husband and I working (he is also in insurance) and I'm sure they think it's boring as all get out. Which, tbh, it kinda is. But it pays for their college and other privileges and they won't have to support us in our old age.
after 20+ years in claims I hated my job with a passion. the relentless volume and micromanaging took a toll. I finally had enough and quit. Took a job not exactly in insurance claims, but working with it, and am much happier for it

Say more! What type of role are you in now?
I wouldn’t say I hate my job. Sure, there are stressful situations/days and incompetence coworkers but isn’t that every jobs
I like my job. More specifically, I like job that is described in my job description. But I wish I could skip the extra stuff, like the heavy case load, the meetings that could have been an email, the tracking of goofy metrics that don’t measure my competence.

My job is fine. I just don't really care anymore. I'm not excited about supporting capitalism even as I benefit from it. Working is just meh for me now.
Worked in insurance on an administrative level for which I was let go for the slowness of the locally owned business. Truthfully, I did my job well. The lack of guidelines of behavior made it toxic. The lack of written docs on job titles didn’t help. A few underwriters made decisions on claims, new business and endos on current. Think karma is working.
