Do you enjoy your job? (piefed.social)

I am not in a comfortable situation in mine. It is a bit toxic tbh. The rest of it seems normal - so many meetings, everyone fumbling around trying to meet the goals that shift around. I do like the parts where I get to write code though:-).

Nobody enjoys 100% of every day and every activity. But do you enjoy your job... mostly?

I have a job that I hired on to 30 years ago off of a want ad in the local newspaper (google it, that's how it used to work) and thought to myself - "I'll be out of here in a few months".

I like the freedom from office/meeting shit (although they try to pollute it with that), I get to spend most of my time in customer-facing engagement (which is mostly awesome). Find work that you can enjoy even if working feels toxic (which it almost always does).
