Who loves it?

After being made redundant twice in the past 12 months from high paid very stressful roles I was forced to take up something new. So I am now a postman and absolutely love it! Half the salary but 10 times the enjoyment .

Who else loves what they do ?

I think you have to enjoy what you do, being rich doesn’t always mean about the money

Love it, i used to hate my job (butcher for my parents wild meat business) then spent some time courtesy of her majesty and decided to use my time positively. I gained a aerospace engineering degree and have worked my absolute ass off to be where i am now. I love my work, the day i dont ill stop.

I love my job. It is very stressful, i sometimes get hit out at and punched but it is very rewarding even though the pay is poor.

Between us we have been made redundant more times than we can count. The final time was the last straw. We both took early retirement and thoroughly enjoy what we do

I'm on the frontline and certainly don't do my job for the salary. Although it has been emotionally challenging and draining this past year, I wouldn't change it x

One of the things (Interested in people), if the past 12 months has changed peoples priorities and by how much.

Are we still a society, and our lifestyles driven by the acquisition of wealth or are people leaning towards sticking a happy medium

I'm furloughed because I'm clinically extremely vulnerable. I'm loving it, i worked through first lockdown petrified that I'd get covid, i knew i fitted the criteria to be CEV, but i hadn't recieved the letter. Now i feel much safer, especially now I've had the first jab.

I survived a redundancy cull in December 2019 but haven't been happy since then as they had not really thought things through and I ended up doing a mish-mash of jobs.

Last month they announced another restructure this time putting almost 20 of us at risk of redundancy so I took the bull by the horns and told them I won't be applying for one of the new roles and took redundancy instead.

Since then, I've had a successful interview for a new job elsewhere, which I start shortly, and as a bonus the salary is 60% higher, so happy days.

I hope I'll love my new job! I've heard good things about them and am looking forward to starting.

This is why you always have beautiful outfits on, I see.

I used to sail boats for a job and loved it most of the time. It was like being paid to go and play with your friends a lot of the time.

Im ashore now in the maritime industry and mostly love what I do apart from having a twatty manger.

Yes! At times I find it frustrating (unreasonable demands from clients times) but on the whole I enjoy it. I'm excited about lockdown being over because I thrive in a high pressure setting - I get such a rush from exceeding expectation. I love the skillset I've learned, the busman's holidays, the perks of the company.

I'm hoping to be chartered in the next couple of years (providing I don't have a baby) - due to various things I had to put it on hold.

So yes, I love my work. I'm glad I'm doing it.
