  • Couldnt imagine a place where you cant make drinks, eat biscuits and chocolates or eat food when you want.

    I used to eat eggs and bacon at 10 (while working ofc)

    I once worked in a cleanroom. Water only, and only in the service aisles (away from the normal work area where you couldn't take your mask down). People did occasionally sneak sweets in though!

    Freedom to work fairly unsupervised, feeling like I can get up and make a sandwich or tea or even just go for a wander without getting in trouble to have a break from my screen. Being able to have an idea & implement it and feel listened to when I'm pitching those ideas. Also some of my colleagues who share my weird sense of humour.... I get to laugh a lot at work! But before you think I sound like I don't do much work I do, I rarely take the mick and always go above my role and responsibilities.
    (Ps: I get to be creative too which is something I very much enjoy)

    Please delete - duplicate post. Sorry.
  • I like lunch time. I like who I work directly beside. I like when people thank me for my work. I like listening to music. I like when I get a chance to be creative and the times I'm left to get on with my job without people breathing down my neck. My 2nd job I like the flexibility and independence/responsibility of chosing what work to take on and how to impliment.

    I am suited to being self employed however I know I'd ever switch off. So basically like being in control without being told what to do which I have some of but favour the times when i'm left to it, I achieve more that way.

    Interesting answers.

    I think anyone who doesn't share my answer of 'home time' lives in a different world to me.

    I'm envious.
