View submission: How many people love(d) their job?
My job is hilarious. I am a contract cleaner in a bio waste plant. Never met anyone from my company.
Place is really, really hard to find 🤣 Postcode takes you to a different town, down by the plant's weighbridge, with 3 locked gates.
Got the job without an interview, as they couldn't get anyone else to work there, on account of the smell. Company that originally hired me got taken over ages ago, they very occasionally email me, but never bother me otherwise.
The guys from the waste company i work with are great, treat me like one of the team, i work part time, i get the work done in half the time i am paid to be there.
I turn up on a mountain bike, plastered in mud (still cleaner than my co workers), get changed and stuff my cycle clothes in tge laundry, first thing i do is make a cup of tea and find the biscuits.
On paper, job is awful, in reality i do not mind doing it at all, and as soon as i clock off i dont think about it again until next time i am in.
Previously i was a supervisor in a law centre, but left due to burnout.

This sounds like the kind of job I would like now...I don't want to think any more. I want to just work then go home.
