I absolutely love my job and it makes a huge difference to my mental health being back doing what I love.

100% the same. Enjoyable job with ex field workers now running the show so they know how things should work. Very happy with going to work most days.

This. I landed quite unexpectedly in the position I'm in now, and it's the most satisfying and rewarding job I've ever had. It's still a novelty to drive to work and not spend the entire commute fantasising about some kind of natural disaster occurring simply so I don't have to clock in.

I think it comes with age too that you learn life is less about impressing and pleasing people who don't matter in the long run. We only get one go, so treat people the way you want to be treated and prioritise your mental well-being.

Some people get over their heads in terms of big house,big cars,big everything.

In the end you can't put a price on being happy.

Amazing the things people will do to feel accepted by family, friends and society even if it makes them miserable.

I'm glad I went through some rough years in my early 20's because I found out no one gives a shit about you so you need to live the life you want to live and the money you earn is to be spent.

Interesting how many people love their work.

I guess alot just suck it up because they got a big loan and kids etc.

For me it's never been the actually job that's been bad, it depends on the people you work with.

Had a warehouse job 15 odd years ago and I hated the manager, He went away the last week I worked there and suddenly the work wasn't so bad with him not being there.

Good point. I never mind the work in and of itself. I'd be happy shovelling shit, as long as the people I'm working alongside treat me with respect. And if you happen to have a laugh along the way, all the better.

 

[Off The Couch]

Ive worked at my current place of employment 11 years and the previous 10

I followed my manager from the last to the one I’m in now

You can’t underestimate a good Manager

My angst now is more about exhaustion - retirement is just around the corner and I’m ready. The bank balance isn’t

I quite like my job, I've done way worse things for money, but if I won Tattslotto I'm walking away straight away of course.

The people you work with are the key, I'm in a small team and get along really well with the majority. Even the ones I don't personally like, well you still need to form a relationship with them, I'm in sales so I kind of need everyone's help at some point. Works way better when you're friends with them though or close to it.

I love my team, it's the mental load of my job that gets me down. I'm having to deal with more and more employees' personal issues and supporting their mental health and it's beyond the scope of my role, but who else is going to do it?

What do you consider some of the most Australian drinks? Whether alcoholic or non alcoholic? For mine:

• Dare Iced Coffee
• Milo
• Blue V
• Oak
• Masters
• VB
• Bundaberg Rum
• Lemon Lime Bitters
• Carlton Dry
• Emu Export (for my fellow Sandgropers)

My alcohol choices are based purely on the drinks I've sold the most working at a bottle shop.
