    I'm a City of London lawyer. I get through the morning by drinking a lot of tea and then disappearing into a mental pit of stress, pressure and depression, before rising phoenix-like sometime between 1 and 4pm, to get a chicken salad sandwich and...

    Somewhere along the way, for your own sanity and well-being, you are going to have to make a decision whether to continue this way (spiralling downwards) or decide to improve your life and make changes - it may cost you financially but some...

    It probably does come down to the individual workplace but I also think it's the micro management that seems to pervade many employment establishments nowadays. Ended up before I retired being taken under the wing of a multi-national company and...

    I like my job but losing any fear and any sense of authority the the employer has over me was definitely the best thing I ever did. You’re getting what you’re getting with me and if you don’t like it then I don’t actually care.

    When I worked (its been 5 years!!) I generally enjoyed the experience, both the work and most of the people I worked with (I will make no secret one or two of them I really do miss). I was usually quite quiet, and listened and watched what was...

    Having a laugh, not piss talking, always helped,when I worked. When buying newspapers was a thing, doing the crosswords always killed time,but the advent of Google on phones killed that. It's probably more difficult to have a laugh because most...

    Love my job. Work for good people and enjoy what I do. Had jobs which paid a lot more but I hated working there so binned it off as, to me, being happy in my everyday life is far more important than being wealthy.

    I have 15 jobs and the longest is 2 hours. most of my clients are older than me and rely on me to look after them so it keeps me happy if I have left them with a smile on their face. The worst part of the job is the physical aspect as my knees...

    I'm currently finishing my master's and working as a sysadmin at a high performance computing infrastructure. All my colleagues except for the boss are my age and our boss is really not a micro manager. So we just chat all day, somehow still get...

    Start my day by turning on my computer and saying hello in the group teams chat. Usually make a little quip and get some laughing reactions. Then I check in on GOT and try to make some funny posts in order to boost my reaction score, usually...

    This is all very true and even though I'm now retired I longed for the days before 'woke' raised its head and people could banter without fear of offending someone. Bullying was a definite no-no and would be cut off at the knees but as long as...
