I'm a workshop supervisor in charge of, well, just me. I don't earn anywhere near what I feel i'm worth but I really enjoy my job. My name is Gary. My inside leg is 31". I don't like jacket potatoes. I've been married for over 33 years. I have two twenty something daughters. My favourite colour is blue. I enjoy......in fact , mind your own business

I work in financial services and earn less than a female colleague who does the same job. I gather it's ok that way round!

Well, many of you have been quite honest and informative.

So i will say as much as I want to, back in the beginning of November I changed companies, take out the 2 week xmas break i have been with this new company about 8 / 9 weeks, I am a Senior Manager in a small well established Building Company, I suppose it would be equal to a Contracts / Project Managers status, I am at present responsible for doing a £400k + refurb on a very old property, also a 1 million pound one off new build house (it really is awesome!) and literally on Monday I start a (what is quite big for us) new build of 14 flats which involves knocking down a church.

My salary is the most I have ever earn't as an employed person (I was once self employed and did earn a bit more one year) so i am happy at the moment. My roll is very varied which is very interesting albeit challenging

The thread is meant as a bit of fun, not "my house is bigger than yours" ((I wonder who would go down that road? )

Whilst retirement is 17 years away it does scare me. I'm quite active and need to occupy my time and enjoy my work. I find the idea of not doing it at all worrying. I guess I might feel different when the time comes but I'd currently like to do a couple of days until I drop.

Being serious I do try and keep my work life separate from social media. I've occasionally spoken about certain aspects of it but in general I keep it private. Different story with my personal interests which part of the fun is sharing.

The more overtime I do the more he takes.

If I do "some" overtime a month I do OK, if I do a lot my take-home doesn't increase by as much as I would expect. My sweet spot so to speak is about 8 hours a week. If I do 12 hours a week I don't take home a lot more than 8 hours.
