When you think about work do you generally have good feeling about it or do you generally have bad feelings? For me the work itself gives me good feelings thankfully.

Generally good feelings. I like what I do and typically like the people around, those things alone are enough to make a decent workplace. Have been at some awful companies before through and the sense of dread was real, still regret staying as long as I did, but didn’t really know better at the time.

Wow a bunch of positive people over here haha! I dread it endlessly but also know I need to keep working 20 more years so that I can have a nice retirement. It's hard to think of it in those terms because I'm already so tired. But a job is a necessary evil if you ask me.

In the face of all these layoffs it gives me good feelings and I am thankful to be employed but at the same time I have the age old complaints of how people hate how corporate structures work and how inefficient they can be to get things done.

Good feelings for the most part. I am content with what I make. I get along with my coworkers. I can do the job without struggling but I'm busy enough that the day doesn't drag. Good benefits, and I don’t have to engage in drama. I go home and leave work at work. That works for me. I do have my bad days too.

I have good feelings about the job I do. Occasionally, there are cringe-worthy moments, but I think that is most jobs in most industries.

I enjoy the work I do, but I'm looking to move on from the current "new" role. It is proving to be a step back rather than forward.

I'd say it's 70-30 for me, higher on the good side. A lot of people lament on how job hunting is extremely difficult nowadays. That alone makes me grateful for still having a secured job. The 30 is because there are lots of annoying instances in the workplace not limited to AH colleagues/bosses, also a full-time job eats the life out of me, leaving me with no energy to do fun things. Sometimes, it feels like I've been working for 3 decades already when it's only my 15th year. 😅

I get a good feeling when my banking app tells me my paycheck has arrived. I'm over everything else.
