Rent is paid lol
But like also my coworkers
I have a great boss, make good money, & do not clock in or out
I can have one AirPod in while I work, and my manager is extremely lenient on if I’m late or if I need to be off that day (as long as we hit 8 hours 5 days a week they’re chill about it).
As an engineer I had really terrific management who left me alone to solve technical problems, my way. They believed their job was to provide me the tools to do my job as I saw fit. They only got involved to clear out administrative issues hampering my work. I was treated as a professional and was compensated appropriately.
Designated crying room.
I am a forester.
I get an hour paid workout each day. I get to ride snowmobiles all winter. I get to have lunch campfires most of the year. I get ample training opportunities. I get to have dogs with me at work (sadly I dont have one, but my coworker does). I get to see amazing views. My boss is super relaxed and chill. I get paid to walk in the woods and look at trees.
I work in social media for a news outlet, and while social media can be a bit draining, I really enjoy creating content.
Testing out graphic design and videography styles is so much fun, especially when I get to do it to tell other peoples’ stories and showcase local businesses. It can be very fulfilling to get to be creative while covering important local news.
Also, I have a fantastic manager and team. Seriously, I have never worked with a team so dedicated to growth and learning and supporting each other.
You assume I even have a job!
I was fired from a less than 10 minute drive $90k annual base job with an average of $35k in bonuses because my new boss (outside hire with no background in the industry) found out I made way more money than him. Then I got a job that paid 3/4 of that but with a 3+ hour commute which was horrible. Now with another new job I make half that but I’m back to the less than 10 min commute. So I would say the commute is the only positive right now lol
Edit: Fixed spelling and grammar
I get paid a decent bit. I hate it otherwise
The best thing about my job as a bartender is the networking 🙂
Work for a global F500 company that is incredibly flexible with hours. I choose what hours and which days to work in the office, if I even want to work in the office. My Management team and my business stakeholders are all in Europe while I’m in North Am. Most days I work 7:30 am to 12 pm, take a lunch then finish.
Not to mention 7 weeks of paid vacation, amazing bonus plan and very high paying salary. In my 7.5 yr there, when I reach 10 yrs of service I will have a lifetime of free medical, health and dental benefits, travel and life insurance.
The positives are it’s pretty damn flexible. I can call off anytime I want, I’m unsupervised, I don’t get in trouble for being late, and if I don’t like a client I work with I can just bail and request a new one. The downside is it’s underpaid, and the clients can be the hardest part of the job because some are crazy, rude, have mental issues, etc.
My manager is awesome.
He genuinely cares to foster development of the individuals on his team and is very understanding about human things, like needing a day off because you’re just not feeling your best, something coming up unexpectedly, tasks/project getting off track, etc.
Sometimes I want to switch jobs just for more pay, but this kind of leadership and autonomy over my work as an individual contributor isn’t guaranteed anywhere else. When I do eventually change jobs it will be a well-calculated shift into a different industry completely to align myself closer to a more purposeful impact on the world.
Working an office job within the global security space. Every Wednesday they bring us food for lunch. Free coffee, the good stuff Dunkin K cups available at all times. Randomly they have donuts for us. PTO is always approved and I’m allowed to take off unlimited unpaid time pending manager approval. They also promote from within and give raises based on performance which is super nice.
I like being able to be flex with my hours and location. I enjoy working in lab, inventing things, trying things, collaborating. I like my coworkers a lot.
My co workers are like my family, sadly a lot of them are leaving though
Took over 50 days off last year. We have unlimited time off at work and I take one standard deviation below the person who takes even more days off. There’s 52 weeks in a year so it’s like having a 4 day week.
I’ll probably take closer to 40 days off this year.
Pretty easy work and pace of work. Today I wrote a single email confirming I got an email from someone to complete that piece of work. Two other pieces of work came in and my coworker took care of it in 5 minutes before I even noticed.
Pay $15 per pay check for health care. Last year we could pay up to $3000(?) for out of pocket expenses. This year the company started is reimbursing us for out of pocket expenses up to the annual max.
We have all of the post office holidays off like 4th of July. Last two years we also got the days before or after 4th of July to make a long weekend.
If I feel like taking a two hour lunch I do it. Don’t have to tell my boss. Only need to tell my coworkers. One of my coworkers is taking a couple of half days off this month without putting on the vacation calendar. So easy to cover for one person taking time off don’t even think about it.
Everyone who works for the company for 12 months and longer owns part of the company.
it doesn’t feel like a job at all I can’t believe I get paid to do this, I work remote and this week because of the holiday the entire week I have done literally nothing to the point where if I was unemployed my day would look no different. Wake up around 10 check my emails, go to the gym, come home play video games and hang out check my email again, and just collect my pay check.
For some reason, there is a toilet in a closet in the basement. I’m the only one who uses it. Got that bad boy, clean with nice soap and tp
It pays.
Remote. Lots of vacation and sick time (almost more of the latter and no one bats an eye if you use it!). Free time to research interesting topics and write communications pieces about them. Ability to travel mostly when you choose to (for conferences, events). Good connections because of the org name.
WFH has improved my mental health immeasurably and my vehicles have never been cleaner or gained less mileage. I pay less for insurance because they’re now ‘personal use’ instead of more driven. My breaks and lunch are now at home, so the house is much better maintained as far as chores too, so I have even more free time to spend with family and friends. It’s the single best benefit I’ve ever received from a job and very easily puts my job equivalent to another otherwise equal in office job that pays 15k more a year.
i love my teammates, and my work place has a beautiful nature trail we can walk anytime we like.
it’s really chill, i get a decent wage, it has AC, i rarely ever do a full 40hrs, and they bring in food quite often.
I do important work with the most marginalized people in our society, I have an impact every day I’m on the job. I like my colleagues and I really enjoy spending time with my youth clients, as well as the adults for different vibes.
Doesn’t pay enough and management is very shaky, but that’s 3/4 of the nonprofits I’ve worked at. The clock is ticking on my time working at those.
As of right now: I’m full time WFH and that doesn’t appear to be changing anytime soon. My employer is based in a HCOL state and I live in a MCOL state, so my pay is better than what I would make with a local competitor. I get internet reimbursement and they also make payments to my federal SL
I can’t work from home but my management is VERY hands off. Basically if you get your job done and don’t cause problems they don’t care what you do. I have a job that is a mix of field work and office work and multiple supervisors have told me “we don’t want to see you in here” aka get out in the field where you belong and stay there. It’s pretty great and low key.
Great manager that lets me do my work. No babysitting or micromanaging. Sometimes I’ll check in just to catchup or I need anything, but pretty hands off.
Have a clear path to succeed someone who’s about to retire. Getting mentor’d then taking over the job is one of the best paths to promotion.
Good WLB, work mostly remote. Sometimes or once in a while just go into the office.
I can do mine in like 2h a day and no one will know
I have a pretty good amount of flexibility and freedom. I don’t sit behind a desk all day melting my brain with meaningless facts and figures. I get to be outside all day. I think my job has a lot of meaning and importance to the world. The people I work with are amazing and we all share similar goals and values. My supervisors, for the most part, care about my wellbeing and providing professional and personal growth. I get to interact with all sorts of interesting and exciting people.

I’m a product designer. I get to work from home, the work is generally fun, and I work with great people who are very kind and empathetic. I work for a company that helps nonprofits so I also feel like the work I do has positive impacts. 10/10.
I can go paddle boarding or just out during the day as long as the job is done 😀
I work in a nice office. My computer is top of the line. The ac is cold in the summer, and it is warm in the winter.
More money would be nice. Sometimes, I get bored, and sometimes I’m busy
Sometimes, I get to help people and serve justice, even if at a small level. Also love how flexible this job is.
It’s easy af and everyone’s pretty friendly. Oddly enough, the “easi-ness” is a drag, and the boredom can be demotivating and leave me tired lol. I’m actively trying to upskill and get out of this type of work and/job, but it’s nice knowing that nothing daunting or difficult awaits me on the day-to-day while I figure things out, and somtimes (like right now) I do career research or goof off on the clock, but still meet/exceed expectations.
I am a software developer. I work in a employee centric company in a country with strict labour laws. That means:
– 100% work from home
– unlimited paid sick days and child sick days, no doctors note needed
– 30 days of paid vacation
– employer pays most of childcare cost
– office 15 minute drive away if I want to
It’s awesome. The worst thing is that these benefits tie me very tightly to the company as long as my kids are small.
