Tell me about your job

I am a paramedic x 10 yrs now with the same agency. We have a so-so turnover rate. Most of us have been here at least 5+ years and some with 20+ years. The pay sucks and the hours suck even worse when you have a busy shift, BUT when it is a slow shift I get paid to sleep, play, shop whatever as long as I am ready to respond to a call. We work 24hr shifts, off 48. I love my job when I am truly needed, not so much when I am treated like a taxi services which happens more often than a true emergency. Last night was super busy with some really sick people. It was an up for 24 hrs kind of shift. Love that adrenaline rush, but paid for it today, with a too long nap and a crappy diet.

Private or fire department?

All the stupid people call at 2:00 am.
Hate how it messes with his sleep

I work for the county government. Our fire departments and EMS are separate entities and I hope it stays that way as I have no need to play with fire. I do love my firemen though and they are a huge asset on calls when I really need some extra hands or strong backs.

I work in IT for a catholic hospital, when we had nuns running this place everyone wanted to work here and stay here. Now the CEO is a businessman. People are either running off or getting laid off.

I'm a secondary school teacher in England. We have staff who've been at our school for years, but then every July we seem to have a lot who leave. Teaching is changing all the time, and we have loads of new crap thrown at us, and some people have had enough. Also, my school has become an academy and is now on split sites, and that has put some people off. I work part time so i find a lot of the crap just goes over my head now. I go in, do my job, try to do it the best I can, then I think of my days off with my gorgeous children.

I have a degree in English Literature and Secondary Education and after graduation I worked for 3.5 years in various middle and high schools taking long term sub positions. I was promised a teaching contract multiple times whenever a departmental position was available, but whenever someone left for retirement or personal reasons, the positions just kept getting deleted and the class sizes kept getting bigger. I never knew if I was still going to have a a job after a month. Teaching now is just crap for a lot of reasons.

I quit teaching two years ago and now I run my fiance's small business -- a specialty outdoor gear and apparel shop in PA. There are a LOT of perks and a lot of downsides too, but over all the stress level has gone down and the fun level has gone way up. I am technically the only employee aside from some friends who run the cash register when I need to leave the shop, so it it's a lot of hours, but very rewarding.

I'm a baker/gopher/dishgirl in a local shop. It's a small operation so my boss and I wear many hats.

Edited to answer original question: I'd say we have a fairly low turnover rate. Most of us have worked together for a while.

Does your employer have a relatively high or low turnover rate for new employees? No...it's very very low.
