....but I genuinely couldn't stand most of the customers, even when they were sober.
When they were hammered it was even worse.
I sold it. |  |

I used to work in a NHS complaints team - to be fair the patients and the people complaining were in the main friendly. The doctors and nurses were the difficult ones - some seemed to think that admin staff were beneath them. But this was over twenty years ago whilst at uni so hopefully it’s a bit different there now. |  | | |

Hello? You called for a corporate HR drone?
I absolutely loathe people, but run Talent Acquisition in the UK and Europe for a moderately sized multinational. |  |

I spend all my days dealing with people, small groups of tourists, I am very good at what I do and incredibly modest, but the moment I'm finished I'm happy not to interact with another person until the next working day. |  |

True story.
In my current role my manager made me head of the People pillar for our team (55/60 people) meaning I then had to be part of a 4/5 person team for a people person across a 500 strong platform.
I absolutely have zero time for most of the team as there’s no team spirit or ‘banter’
One presentation I got asked to do was around diversity - I had to just own up and say I couldn’t do it as i was too uncomfortable pretending
I leave in 2 weeks. Never ever doing anything like that again. [Post edited 17 Sep 22:09]

It's a real Jekyll and Hyde scenario with Mr Jekyll mostly being present in the office |  |

I'm kind of in the opposite position.
I'm a real people person, but I'm a software engineer.
I can't help but feel I should be doing something different! I'm good at explaining technical stuff to non technical folks. | | | |

I do and spend all day talking to people, very often in the evening the last thing I want to do is talk more which can be a bit tough on my partner but she's pretty patient with me and we've been together 10 years. |  | | |

Speaking as a fellow software engineer, engineers who can talk to people are worth their weight in gold and will go waaay further in their career than those who are technical geniuses.
The hard part of software engineering isn't the software, it's getting people to tell you what their problem is. |  |

Spent my whole career in sales, both trade and public. A mixture of face to face and telephone. Everyone always said i was a people person and always got positive feedback.
I generally hate people. I hated my jobs.
I had a mental breakdown.
Im now working (first week) on an assembly line, minimum wage, 8 hours standing in one place doing same movement (its killing my old body), virtually none of my colleagues speak English...I absolutely love it! |  |

I feel your pain. I used to have internal ‘customers’ who we were expected go above and beyond to provide a service. I used to call it helping a colleague, but that never went down well. My days were all about people. I can’t say I liked many of them! I’ve always steered clear of the public though. That’s a step too far for me after my experiences years ago as a teenager/student doing the usual student jobs. |  |

Totally agree with this. Any Engineer that can go in front of a customer and explain what they are doing, why the customer wants it etc, is hugely valued. | | | |
