I was, as usual, surfing in the blognet, that I got this blog relating to jobs being lovely or lousy.
This is a very interesting article which takes the results of a survey and mentions that in Britain, more and more jobs are becoming lousier, which is against the views of the economists who mention that the jobs are becoming lovelier. I'd say that a job being lousy or lovely depends on the individual. Each job would be lousy or lovely for each individual.
I am employed in a BPO and when I joined the office, I felt that this is the best job on earth. Then, as time passed, I thought that I need to change my job and my present job, thus, became lousy for me. I asked my manager for a movement and currently, I am in a project of Software Testing. This job is very interesting and I can learn lots from this. I am currently in a frame of mind which says that this is the job to be, the job of the future.
Mind you, these two fields are the most sought after fields in the industry currently. The most sought after job is a BPO and the very next is of Software Testing. BPO Jobs provide you the opportunity to earn well and software testing gives you a long term employment opportunity as any software, b4 it is installed, needs to be tested.
I spoke to a person who has been doing software testing for quite some time and he said that the job is good only if a project gets changed or he is moved from project to project atleast once per year. He said that a BPO would be better as you have the opportunity to come and work in different shifts, interact with many people and the best part about a BPO (Call center) is that there are many gals who're just out of college who join. Their enthu and their youthfulness has impressed him I feel. I dunno what impression does he have abt that or is he trying to have a fling with one of them if given a chance.

Jobs become lousy when:
- Your peers are not co-operative
- Your manager is adament
- Your manager goes against you in every decision of yours
- You are not provided an opportunity to either go onsite or to become a team lead
- You get ditched by your girlfriend when you are supposed to meet her, but have to come to the office on a holiday.
- Your friends all plan a picnic on some Indian holiday or a weekend and you are forced to go to the office. Your friends chide you and your company for that.
- Your company pays you a bit less than what your friend is earning, No matter what his position is or his job profile is, No matter what extra facilities you are being provided.
I could go on and on...the list can be endless.
I feel that it is just ones psychology and ones feelings that make a job lousy or lovely. If he enjoys working and he has adequate work, then, the job is lovely. If he wants to be lazy, but he has more work, the job would be lousy. If he is a workaholic and the work in the office is not enough, then, the job would be lousy. If he likes working, the job is challenging him to put 120% of his efforts, then job is lovely........ Comparisons are infinite.
In conclusion, everything depends on your psyche. Think Positive, Live positive and Vice Versa :)
