View submission: How many people love(d) their job?
I’m thankful to have my job, but the longer I’ve been there, the more it has changed from the job that it was when I started.
Pay is worse due to inflation and no raises, benefits are worse each year, while simultaneously costing more, and expectation creep is a real thing. The longer I’m here, the more tasks are added for less compensation.
While I remember how things used to be done, the past, as they say, is a foreign country, and the position and expectations have changed considerably since I first came on.
I suspect that my experience is similar for a lot of careers. The longer you are there, the more you know, and the more things change.
It’s never what it used to be by the time you get to the end.

As I enter year 15 at my job, I am nodding in agreement. Some changes were good but most were not.
