Who enjoys their job?
Discussion
I don't. A lot of the people I work with are nice, but my job description is so vague I end up feeling like I've not achieved anything and wondering when "proving you can do the job above your level" turns into "doing job above your level for your own job title and salary" You could say it's varied and that's a good .thing, but often I struggle to see it that way.
In my last 2 annual appraisals I've asked about promotion. There are noises being made about maybe a half-step this year and maybe an actual promotion next year but i think there's only a 50% chance of that actually happening, knowing my immediate boss.
I'm in the middle really. It's not awful but it's not great either.
Am I being melodramatic and that's just what life is like, or should i expect to enjoy it?

I was much happier once I got out of project management, it really is just admin and nagging your colleagues to do their job.
I love aspects of my job, mainly working with Subject Matter Experts who are often at the very top of the field. I am working to farm out all the bits I don't like doing.
Oddly, project management is the area I want to get into!I love aspects of my job, mainly working with Subject Matter Experts who are often at the very top of the field. I am working to farm out all the bits I don't like doing.
