ron_ona said I Am Happppppy ...

Umpisahan ko na.

I AM HAPPY WITH MY WORK because it feeds me with challenges needed to improve my craft, opportunities in which I can grow professionally, and most of all, I can clearly see my value not only as an employee but more as a person. So even if I win the lottery today, still I would not quit my work.

I am not happy of my work because no challenges..

 

ron_ona's picture

ron_ona said Our work is a big chunk of ...

Our work is a big chunk of our life & every challenge should be taken as an opportunity for improvement. From what I've read here, everyone seems to have it made.

For angel08, what kind of work challenges are you looking for? Mind if you tell us your story? Maybe we can help.

For VivoBonito, what exactly is "killing" you? Have you ever thought that maybe you're the right guy in a wrong place or job? My advice for you is stop dying & start living.

We should really love our work. For it will love us back.

Bruno's picture

Bruno said My Job is ever challenging ...

but sometimes frustrating. Once you work with these people expect the unexpected. After a days work, sometimes I realized its frustrating then it becomes a challenge knowing at the end of the day I accomplished something significant, asserted my idea of the work, argued, answered back and made them shut up. Thats fullfilling!!!!

 

ron_ona's picture

ron_ona said Bruno's challenge. ...

Bruno, I know this would be difficult, but when you're at work try to separate your emotions for it'll cloud your judgment. Earn your co-workers respect by being respectable & not confrontational.

ron_ona said Companies and the hiring process, etc. ...

Nobody's perfect... even with companies.

One common mistake we do occurs during the hiring process. We blindly accept the job without even looking at the background or asking about the policies of the companies employing us. How hard it is, during the interview, to ask the employer about their "reward & recognition" program. Or ask them about their "employee appraisal" & how employees are rewarded for good performance. Answers to these will give you an insight on whether you will experience career growth in that company. Kabayan, may karapatan din tayong mag tanong sa ating prospective employer at interviewhin sila wag lang po tayong mahihiya!

Also, we should also ask the growth prospects of the company itself & ask them about their growth performance & expectancy. Wala naman siguro gusto mag trabaho sa company na malapit ng malugi?

Another thing is that companies are run by individuals. These individuals are the one's whom we are actually delaing with each day yung tinatawag nating pulitika. We have to have exceptional people skills to deal with difficult people but often we use too much of our emotions... which causes friction & workplace conflicts. Try to be likeable by everyone, even by the devil. At one time or another, you will need the help of someone in your company. But the more enemies you make, the less chances help will be on your way.

Most of all, focus on work & the enhancement of your abilities. Kasi, maski na doktor, abogado, o ano mang titulo meron ka, hindi ito ang titingan ng tao sa iyo. Ang titingnan nila ay ang husay mo sa pagiging title-holder mo at ang galing mo sa pakikisama sa tao.

Yun lang po.

dmigtysolomon's picture

dmigtysolomon said All kind of jobs, there will always room for improvements,... ...

it slows down a little if you reach a post that is consider already managerial level. Unless you want to replace the Big Boss (which you can still aspire as long as you won't replace the Owner), you can still do so.

Ron_ona is right, employee during interview can also interview the employer (usually, big companies' interviewer welcome such move), it gives them free advertisement (and they will always say the good points and in some cases, the challenging points) so whether they hire you or not, you can always (and for sure you will) pass around telling how good their companies are.

Now, what makes you happy is different from person to person. Basically, its the money. But if you are young, learning more skills and improving yourself should be prioritized, and when you are full of knowledge from years of experiences, it means BIG MONEY for a NEW JOB.

ron_ona's picture

ron_ona said JaneyJaney stop being a workaholic ...

Workaholics are addicted to work but not to the results of their work. They work for work's sake. So there's a difference between hard workers, and smart workers. Smart workers deliver results in less time that they should. While hard workers (or workaholics), are those who simply cannot accomplish work within the prescribed normal hours.

Sa office namin bawal ang over-time because it is a sign of inefficiency. We encourage & train people not to be workaholics but instead, we encourage them to maintain the balance between work & life.

Many whose reasons for being workaholics is often to boost their low self-esteem or make them feel important. That's bad.

So if you think you're a workaholic, stop being one for it will only destroy you.

tatess said ahh,ok ...

so i might say i'm a smart worker. i love my job, working with kids gives me great satifaction.

 

chevydjak's picture

chevydjak said I should say... I belong to smart workers :) I hate overtime.. ...

Though if it is necessity sure, why not there are some instances.... but it happens very rare.

I used to love my previous and present job even if I'm not satisfy/happy... I am always exerting my super powers to be effective in my designation :)

Like now, though I am a bit unhappy I always look on the brighter side... I have more more time with my family

denbonggerald said I'am happy for my job ...

 because its an opportunity to share your knowledge and ideas and make new friends and also for a character development kasi you will meet a lot of person with different attitudes and of course if you have a job you have a salary that's why I'm happy :)
