Buyer Jobs

Making the workday pleasant

Buyer - (City withheld for privacy), Texas, United States

Having a "good" job which makes you happy should provide 4 things, and that's really it: -A sense that you are producing something meaningful -Clear and frequent performance feedback from superiors -Pleasant coworkers whom you respect(whom you can at least tolerate) -At least 2 "close" friends at work ANything more than that makes it not a "job," but a lifestyle, which is fine if that is what you really want in a job.
