What do you like about work?

[alfa147x]

I'll start:

• Awesome people
• Mac Friendly
• Adjustable Schedule

 

[edro]

Creating parts in 3D CAD, then getting the first samples from the caster or molder.
It's awesome to hold the part in your hand after designing it, virtually, for so long.

 

[Balt]

I like the part where I get paid for it.




okok, I also work with some nice people. At least there's that.

 

[Leros]

• Good pay
• Flexible hours, can work just about whenever I want
• Free food. Catered lunch most days and a fully stocked kitchen all the time
• Fun work. Challenging. Never gets old because I never do the same thing twice.

 

[wischeez]

Watching movies in the conference room while being paid. Oh. and nice coworkers too.

 

[IndyColtsFan]

Awesome benefits and some of the best perks you can get anywhere.

 

[Dr. Detroit]

A paycheck 2X a month

A boss who does not micromanage

 

[Red Squirrel]

It makes me monies
It keeps me out of the house so I don't turn into a hermit
The people I work with are great, except for the asshole IT manager who thinks he's our boss, but because he's a customer, we pretty much have to bow down to his majesty. If there was not legal issues, I would run asbestos tile through an industrial shredder and sprinkle it in his office and ensure there's a fan on. He would not know how to turn it off, either, he's the dumbest person in existence when it comes to anything that uses electricity.

That's awesome. I don't do CAD, but I do a lot of 3D modeling, and I can see what you mean by finally being able to hold a model that you've been working on for so long.

• 
  Most of my coworkers are awesome.

• I have a great, flexible boss.

• Awesome working environment.

• Very rewarding when finished working on difficult tasks.

 

[mmntech]

When I get to go home at the end of the day.

 

[Capt Caveman]

No limit on vacation time.

 

[TecHNooB]

the drive to and from.

 

[gorcorps]

I'm new, so I'm not in the jaded rut that others seem to be.
It's interesting and there's no shortage of new problems and shit to learn.
The people I work with have a sense of humor and for the most part know their stuff and how to get it done.
They don't keep real track of sick days or anything, and it's mostly based on an honor system as long as it's not abused.
Freedom to work on basically what I feel we should, and generally have the backing of several people to help out.

 

[BoomerD]

What is this "work" of which you speak?


Oh..."The Job."

Sorry, I gave that stuff up a while back.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

I get to be creative and do a job well, that damn few people can do.

 

[nick1985]

$$$

 

[KeithTalent]

The compensation. Only reason I am still there.

[eldorado99]

• The money is decent
• The people are good (for the most part)
• Gives me something to do
• The fact that I can more or less do whatever I want at work
• Lots of paid vacation time

 

[Jeff7]

+ People in my department are good to work with, and my supervisor is also decent to work with. (He dislikes dealing with incompetency, and we're generally fine in that respect. )
+ Supervisor also once worked the job of those he oversees, so he understands the nature of the problems that often crop up. (Design something using technology that's new to the company, and be sure to test for all unforeseeable problems. Yeah, ok.)
+ I get to design and build stuff.
+ A lot of it is a sit-on-my-ass job at a computer.
+ Admin access on my PC, so I can actually install and use useful programs and utilities. (There are some restrictions in place, mainly concerning Windows Update and antivirus stuff.)
+ Firefox-friendly intranet.


- Joint pain from using a mouse all day.
- On that note, there's still no brain implant with a high-speed fiber optic linkup for controlling a computer. Where's the Wii Neuro, dammit?

 

[Red Squirrel]

This too. Something I never got in school. Everything in school is cookie cutter and has to be done the teacher's way. At work, unless there's politics or red tape (which is my case but it's not that bad everywhere) then you can be more creative, and as long as the work you did accomplishes the goal at the end of the day.

 

[Alone]

Fire various weapons, throw grenades, drive the shit out of vehicles.

What's not to like?

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

My 'office' is usually a $10 million+ house with an ocean view.

 

[herm0016]

i get paid

like to figure out and understand the Tech we use
explosives
sizable radioactive sources
schedule, 14 days on, 7 off

bad:
schedule is only theoretical
per hour pay is not too good
lack of sleep
people don't take pride in their work and it affects my ticket bonus when they screw up.

 

[Blitzvogel]

One of my coworkers :wub:

 

[hans007]

At my current job. The fact no one cares that most of us come in around noon. And we get paid pretty well.
