How much creativity do you have in your job?
LockedI’ll be honest, I love my job and I can’t imagine working in any other field. I’ve had my ups and downs of course but overall, I’ve been upset by situations (like my company transferring a lot of our infrastructure to a outside “services” company and having lots of my peers move to another company while still working down the hall from me) and not what I do.
I’m always surprised by how many threads here are focused on leaving this field. I’ve been thinking about it a lot and I guess the thing that would make me leave is if I was suddenly put in a postion where I wasn’t problem solving. I took apart radios before I even knew about computers (I’m an old fart.) If I wasnt’ doing this I’d probably be fixing old cars or something like that. I’m wondering if the lack of creativity is what is making so many people unhappy with their job.
SO my question is, do you have the freedom to be creative in your work? Maybe not what you do but how you do it. Thoughts?
