1. What is your job? If unemployed or retired, what was your last job?
2. Have you ever complained about your job?
1. Last was an 'Operation/Medical/Fraud Auditor' for a health insurance company.
2. If you don't have complaints you may not be human.
Kinda silly to complain about your job when you’re self employed, though. Complaining about STUPID FUCKING CLIENTS is another matter entirely.

Retired, and going to university to get a B.A. in Classics. I was previously a medical transcriptionist for 16 years. Before that I spent 8 years working in IT (hardware and software configuration), and before that I was a secretary in an accounting firm.
I rarely complained about the transcription job, although the dictation styles of a couple of physicians made us all roll our eyes and sigh heavily. The last two years of IT and the last year of the secretarial gig were nightmarish, and I resigned from both those jobs.

I'm a CAD monkey who learned enough along the way to qualify as an electrical designer. Before that I was a PCB (printed circuit board) designer, but left the field when most of the jobs shifted to China and India. I'm currently part of an engineering team that does electrical evaluations and arcflash studies for large electrical systems around the country, most recently for VA hospitals.
ETA: I've had complaints about every job I've ever worked. Sometimes the complaints outweighed the benefits an I moved on. At the current position, I have very little to complain about.

What is this? LinkedIn?
I am a licensed architect currently working as a construction project manager for a national contractor. My side hustle is selling arthritis aids on amazon. My passion is oil painting.

1. Medical Field.
2. More people/colleagues/patients than the job. But, yes.
