I love what I do, but sometimes not where I am doing it.

I like what I do. I have to put up fair amount of BS, but I'm sure most of us do.

I would have to say that I don't find great satisfaction in my work. This has more to do with the corporate culture of the organization than it does the field of Quality.

Yin Yang There are days...

Right now my job isn't the worse one I've had (in the Quality profession), but it still lacks a good bit to be desired. I think my biggest gripe is lack of commitment/support to a real quality program. There is, what I consider, a lot of lip service, some half-@ss measures and some dog & pony stuff, but when it comes to implementation of a real quality initiative (like QFD for example), I get, "Oh, that's a great idea, but we're not ready to do that just yet." Yeah, yeah... I'll be worm dirt before they (upper management) ever gets their eyes checked and can focus on something beyond the bottom line for this quarter.

Thanks for the opportunity to vent....

Cheers!

BIG Smile I love it!!!!!!!

This may sound crazy, but I LOVE what I do, I love where I do it, and I even am quite satisfied with my pay! Sometimes I almost feel guilty getting a paycheck! I especially love it when a company I am working with “gets it”!
