Hey /biz/ bros. What was (or is) the comfiest job you ever had? Was the money good or not? How did you lose said job if you are no longer there? How did you get that job in the first place?

Working in a wildlife research lab. The money was shit but the people were good and the work was interesting. Got to raise fish and go out on trawl boats in Lake Erie. Its fun to work 2 crazy 20 hr days then get the rest of the week off to watch anime.

I was an engineer for a medical device company that was going through some problems. They were hiring people like crazy. My first six figure job, and I did almost nothing for months at a time. I would work out at the on-site gym every morning (nearly), and legitimately got in the best shape of my life. Went to a local bar/food place regularly and made friends with an insanely hot bartender (had a girlfriend at the time). Started chatting her up, doing my thing to get to close the deal eventually. And then the site got closed down and I lost it.

Best job I ever had was being a remote medical device sales rep. I lived in So Cal at the time, but my territory was all of Arizona and Las Vegas, NV. My base salary was $65k which is low for the location I was in, but that's because the company I worked for had a really good comssion structure. My first year I hauled in $100k, second year $115k, third year a little under $140k. I had a company credit card to use for gas, car repairs, taking clients out to lunch/dinner, and any other travel expenses. I never paid for gas once out of my own pocket for 3 years. On top of that I had a car allowance of $425 per month. Medical device sales can be competitive, but it has it's advantages compared ot other industry sales jobs. For example, a client is always willing to buy your product to at least try it out once. Hospitals are always looking to save money too. You have a strong pipeline of clients reaching out to you first, which is somehwat rare compared to other sales jobs in other industries. My company paid to have some of our products in various catalogs and healthcare magazines, so there was always a stead flow of easy money without having to put in the work. Generally, people who work in hospitals can be really laid back too. Most of them are cool people. I also had to wear scrubs to work. So everyday was like wearing pajamas. It was fucking great.

I worked in the field 4 days a week Monday - Thrusday w/ about 3 appointments per day. Sometimes appointmets were early like at 6am, but on average my first appointment of the say was 8-9am. I never worked past 4pm at the latest. Most days I was done by 2pm-3pm. On Fridays it was what we call 'office day'. I didn't have any client appointments and would work from home to catch up on emails/admin stuff, or make calls to set stuff up for the next week. I always hit my numbers, so my boss didn't give a fuck & he called maybe once a month.

Ah, those were the glory days.

Country club bartender during college and the summer after. Listened and learned from rich men, flirted daily with tiddy milfs, partied with slutty waitresses, unlimited free golf on Mondays, a meal every shift. I rode my bike always, almost never drove my car. Very happy days for me even though I was flat fuckin broke at 11 an hour.

Current job. Janitor at a gym. I barely do any less work now the country is on lockdown. It takes me maybe an hour to do my assigned tasks and then I spend the other 3 hours of my shift having a poppy seed tea in the boiler room, maybe having a nap in the supply cupboard, shooting the shit with whoever is working the desk, have a sauna since we don't open it until later in the day
Sometimes I come down at night and do graffiti on the outside walls just so I have something extra to do so my office drone boss thinks I'm being proactive

My current job pays me 70k to do nothing. I'm account manager for a very low level mob associate's side business. I got it through connections. He likes me because I'm cordial, polite and on the dot. Takes a lot off his plate. But I literally do nothing. Literally like 2 hours of work per week. I'm sitting home all month smoking weed and getting paid for it. I love my life.
