Pretty sure this thread has happened before but I've been gone awhile before the last 2 months and my resurgence here. Where do you work? What do you do? How long have you been there? And all that. I'm at the same company I've been for the last 2 years and 3 months. Single Source Inc. The world's #1 distributor of PPG paints and supplies for automotive refinishing - nah, it really is, I just like adding that for emphasis, not that it matters much. Started in January 2016 when it was Kayfield Automotive Paints, with just 5 stores. About a month after I started, NCS - who owns Single Source - swooped in and bought Kayfield. Didn't mean a difference for me, my job was the same, got a bit of a raise with the buyout, and a $500 bonus to sign a no-compete contract. We were due to be called NCS, but NCS decided to rebrand Kayfield as Single Source. I was at one of the 2 Delaware stores as a driver until July 2017. I then transferred to the Exton store where I became a counter associate. And after 8 months of being here, just last month, got that promotion to Assistant Store Manager. That didn't mean any additional responsibilities for me because I was doing all the ASM duties since I got here, just without the title or pay. Getting the pay now and nearly 10 hours of 1.5x OT pay every week. That $18.25 hourly rate kicks ass. So yeah, that's me. Someone else go now, before I feel even more awkward. ~*Young $ Money*~ if you wanna move this, feel free. I'm bored and wanted to start a discussion.

I used to work an Information Systems Manager for various public and university libraries. Been on disability because of my Crohn's for a few years now though, which I think of as a forced early retirement. Closest thing I have to a job now is being a WF mod.

I'm a truck driver. I've been doing it for over 10 years now. It's a fun job. I work unsupervised. My job has it's fair share of easy days and rough days. The pay is ok. I make more than some college grads.
The roughest part of my profession is how scrutinized it is by the government. The government dictates how many hours I can and can't work. They dictate what can and can't be on your truck. They dictate pretty much everything about my job. And my job is the only job I know of where I can be fined for doing my job. All of this regulation is why there is such a big driver shortage
Everyone wants the goods and services trucks provide, but no one wants a truck in their neighborhood.

I’m a assistant superintendent for a General Contractor. I’ve been with them the last 4 years and about 6 in total. I travel all around the country for projects anywhere from 6-18+ months. We do a lot of food facilities and industrial. We’ve been doing a lot of expansions on chicken plants for the last few years. I’m currently in Eufaula, AL. It’s a good gig. Good pay. Per diem. Company phone, vehicle, iPad and all that Jazz. I get to go home every two weeks for a few days but usually I just stay where I’m at and mess around since my wife travels with me. It’s stressful and can have some really long days but it’s got it’s upside. I like getting to run equipment and tear stuff up lol

I work at United Parcel Service. I've been there for 13 years. I plan on retiring there. I can do just about every job in the building (unloader, scanner, sorter, belt splitter, irregular parcel handler, small sort & forklift driver). I finally make enough where I don't have to rely on a 2nd job. It's a part-time job with full time benefits. Anything over 4 1/2 hours a day is considered overtime. The only drawback is that I have to get up at 2am. The good part is, I work with a great group of people & that makes a heck of a difference.

I work for my family’s company my dad started long ago but he is deceased now. I’ve been working the same job for 16 years but the company has grown tremendously and my responsibilities have changed but I love that part of it. I imagine I will be in the same place for my whole life, the security I have is unparalleled. We are experiencing some consecutive very successful years so my wages are very high at the moment and I can’t complain about that.

I'm a shift supervisor at the original location of a locally owned pet supply store. I should be getting promoted to assistant manager soon. I've been there for almost 2 years and love it.
I spent 14 years in a different job and it got bad. The company itself is in bad shape.
The company I work for now is growing and I've gotten to help set up a few new stores. The store I work in is attached to the corporate offices and I get to work with them on a daily basis.

I work from home on my best friend’s travel blog. I post deals all day to/from pretty much everywhere in the world but I specialise in deals from Europe and from East Coast USA. Most of my deals are very routine to make and I pretty much spend my whole day watching movies and tv shows in the background I used to be an economics teacher before, and worked in diy for a number of years too.

I'm a clerk in my local VA Medical Center's Optometry department, and have been for nearly 10 years. We serve a very rural area that combines a good chunk of Washington, Oregon and Idaho. I work with a good team of doctors, techs and other clerks, and we all truly give a damn about our vets. I'm not a veteran, so serving the nation's heroes is a profession I consider an honor. I've been blessed to work with men who survived Pearl Harbor, made the first foray into Japan after the armistice, and even packed parachutes for the boys that dropped the big one on Hiroshima. I've also had the pleasure of working for men and women who served in every period after "the Big One," and continue to enjoy the stories they share with us when they visit.
