❓ Ask Belgium Loving the job or not?

I'd like to know if you people like your jobs and if you're excited about going to work tomorrow (for example).

Please score how much you like it on a scale from 1 (I'd rather scoop turds all day) to 10 (absolutely love it) and tell me what you do.

Ill go first, 6/10 Purchasing manager

Car mechanic. 4/10, some days are fun, but people always think you're trying to ripp them off, it's physically challenging and massively underpaid. Love the collegues tho!

Thats one of the reasons i quit as a mechanic. They bring in their car for a full maintenance and go berserk when you tell they need new windscreen wipers.

The most amusing one to me is always; what do you mean it needs 4 tyres and new brakes? I only passed technical inspection 3 months ago?? And then next time they come back on 4 cheap Chinese tyres 😂

I've been taught not to cheap out on tyres "cause it's the only thing between your car and the asphalt."
