Tagging along from one of the previous posts about people’s jobs, what are your favorite things about your job. If you can’t think of anything, then what are your least favorite things about it or what do you think you’d like to do instead if you could?

My favorite thing is the appreciation we get from passerby. I’ve never had a job where people are genuinely appreciative of what we are doing, and it’s nice to get that feedback from people even though the work itself can be pretty difficult. If there wasn’t that for my job, it would certainly be less rewarding.

    IT & Activities at retirement community.

    Best - feeling valued and appreciated every single day by boss and people who live there. Knowing everyone by name being able to feel like I made a difference daily.

    Company has a very very competent it dept that handles infrastructure so I’m essentially there for the end user.

    Worst - staff and general fuckery of new construction. Some days are groundhog day.

    Could be miles and miles worse. in a unique position where if it’s not working escalate, and get to be everyone’s best friend who fixes their tech.

      IT

      Activities

      Never expected to see those things together. Unless one of the activities is virus scan and password update day.

        Lol, it fits better than initially thought.

        We do weekly classes on varying tech topics. Weekly virtual reality, thematic if possible. Any and all audio setup for performers & guest speakers. Ends up being a decent bit of tech to handle in activities.
