why would you even watch this movie? the guy is a gay. very not interesting.
AI automation is coming. use it yourself to make your job automated on your end as much as possible and get paid. get another job and do the same. repeat and make some fricking money before corps catch on and make the world of bullshit jobs redundant.
>AI automation is coming. use it yourself to make your job automated on your end as much as possible and get paid. get another job and do the same. repeat and make some fricking money before corps catch on and make the world of bullshit jobs redundant.
the amount of work required to automate my job would be insane. i would literally rather just do my job. i'd rather just get on teams calls and say "no it's not done yet" and work at at a snail's pace.
There's old IT legend about a man who automated 90% of his job using Perl code and email some 20 years ago. People would email him a problem and it would trigger a Perl script and then send an email out saying he fixed their problem. It was mostly simple things like clearing caches or restarting a service but he just let this automated script carry on throughout the day freeing up his time. He never even got caught. He bragged about it after he left the job for a better opportunity which was kind of silly but I guess he was proud that own version of what we're calling AI these days was earning him a six-figure salary while he sat around jacking off.
Its possible to pull off
did you see the end of the film?
i tried out this girl's theory of finding love (basically not giving a frick and doing very little actual dating) and i found that it's possible to pull off. i live with my mom and stepfather so it's even easier, but still. what movie concepts have you incorporated into your life?
>i tried out this girl's theory of finding love (basically not giving a frick and doing very little actual dating) and i found that it's possible to pull off. i live with my mom and stepfather so it's even easier
LMFAO that fricking doll
unfortunately, this is true
I do frick all most of the time, help out with covering stuff for people from time to time, and people refuse to say a bad thing about me
I keep waiting to get called out so I can pick up the pace, but it never comes
I feel guilty for how little I do most days and how much money I make. I literally answer 2-3 emails a day, pretend to write a bit of code, and make 4x as much as my partner who has to physically be at her work all day.
I work remotely so I often go for a 1hr+ long run every day, do chores around the house, go grocery shopping, hell sometimes I'll walk to the local movie theatre and see a random movie at a 2pm by myself. It's been this way for 2 years and I've only been getting positive performance reviews.
You my friend, are living the life. I'm jealous.
Same situation. Program manager, rest of my team is in-office in a different part of the state. I work maybe 2 hours a day. Maybe. 146k.
I unironically work less than you and make significantly more. I wonder if they're ever going to figure it out or if this is just the future
Pretty much the same, but I work outside. I survey areas for hazards and other out of the ordinary shit, but I can usually finish by 9 AM and just get paid for the day. 144k/year
I wish someone told me back then work life was so easy then I would have had more motivation to study.
I didn't find my easy job till I was almost 30, and tbh I lucked into it. If I could, I'd rather just shake my ass on OF for like 75% of what I make now
there are a shit ton of people out there who make stupid amounts of money without having fancy degrees anon, and i'm not just talking about trade jobs. at my previous work they hired this consultant who didn't even finish university but specialised himself in a very specific area in the field that i worked in, he did consulting for a bit before starting his own consulting company and from there on just made bank. he was smart with his money too, invested in real estate and a few other companies and told me he could basically retire at 45 if he wanted to.
I do about three hours of work a day and make 100k
Although sometimes I do get slammed and have to actually grind all nighters
Don't feel bad. You're what I call, "infrastructure insurance." You're like me; paid to maintain, monitor, etc. When you reach our level, it's what you know when shit hits the fan that justifies the benefits all the other times.
Plus I used to work retail, call centers, construction and factories before I got into IT. I paid my damn dues lmao.
I had a WFH programming job where I was literally paid 70k a year to sit silently in a 15 minute Teams meeting once a week. I got laid off last year but it was definitely worth it. It's a lot harder to find these bullshit remote jobs now unfortunately
What’s your job title?
I work outside and I'm happier than I ever was staring at a screen all day. So, i guess that parts right. I also make way money than I did at my old job and I'm in good shape.
eventually someone will dob you in or the manager will stop doing what your doing and check the key performance indicators and have a chat with you
if it's really bad you get fired but it depends what industry your in and if you work for government or private enterprise
but you can always make it a shit fight with hr and try and get a pay out saying you were bullied or some shit
anyways good luck
I'm the OP
>eventually someone will dob you in or the manager will stop doing what your doing and check the key performance indicators and have a chat with you
i'm the only one that knows where many critical files are located. nobody has asked me about the filing structure or how to access them. not even my boss, the CFO, has asked me. but once he asks me i will know the gig is up and will either have to start working harder or find another job.
NTA but you shouldn't be overly reliant on being "critical". heard it many a times from people who were just so important to the company who ended up getting axed
>NTA but you shouldn't be overly reliant on being "critical". heard it many a times from people who were just so important to the company who ended up getting axed
i wasn't saying i was critical. the files i have are critical. that's why i was saying that if people start asking me about my files and where to find them i will start to worry about job security.
yeah in my old job a girl i knew who used to work in the team wasn't doing her inspections, she had found a way to pretend to do inspections according to the system so the boss would check the monthly inspection rate and be like yep everything's above board but after i think 6 months he noticed that the girl was always at her desk most of the time and rarely left the office whilst all the other officers were leaving to do inspections pretty much daily
so yeah he started investigating and figured out she wasn't doing inspections and just faking it
this was government (so she couldn't be fired straight off the bat, probably pulled the mental health card) so she was disciplined in some way i'm not sure and put on another team
but i think she got her way because she didn't want to do inspections and she just wanted to do bs redundant type work staying in the office all day anyways
(i was taught how to hack the system as well by another colleague but it was just to let me know if you do this and think you can get away with it they will figure out your not actually working)
if i really put my mind to it i could of just gone to the pub for a couple of hours write out some false reports and then come back to the office and enter into the system i'd been to the places in my falsified reports
this was the undoing of the chick she wasn't that smart
eventually i'd still get caught it would just take longer though
>tldr you're always gunna get caught
>>tldr you're always gunna get caught
i work 100% remote and live 12 hours away from HQ. they gave me a 20k raise when i moved away too. the only issue i see is that i won't get promoted anymore because i work remotely but i sort of don't care. i do actually do work sometimes but i mostly don't have to do anything. and i don't fake anything except that i'm always online on microsoft teams.
yeah as long as your kpi's look ok i guess your fine
me personally i wouldn't slack off because what i've found is the industry your in usually is a small world so if they get mad at you for slacking and fire you then you're in a pickle if your trying to get a new job in the same industry you can't use them as a reference and you have to somehow explain for the time gap of when you started working their to when you were fired
(i was travelling europe for 2 years lol) or some bullshit like that then you run into problems like they are thinking he's been out of the game for too long
then they talk to your old references and their like yeah he was an ok worker but i'm sure he took that job at (insert the place you were fired)
alternatively you can try and get into a new line of work or go back to uni or learn a skill but then people are like why didn't it work out in his old job was he too dumb for it? does he have some other problem like drugs or some shit?
i wouldn't want to deal with all that stress like i wouldn't work super hard but at the same time i wouldn't give them a reason to fire me
>me personally i wouldn't slack off because what i've found is the industry your in usually is a small world so if they get mad at you for slacking and fire you then you're in a pickle if your trying to get a new job in the same industry you can't use them as a reference and you have to somehow explain for the time gap of when you started working their to when you were fired
my performance evaluations are fine. i have recruiters calling and emailing me constantly. the only "pickle" i'm in is that the recruiters are starting to say they want me in the office two days a week. i moved way out into the country so that's not an option for me anymore.
yeah so that's where the stress starts if say they start making less money and or someone gets the bright idea we need an audit you start stressin
and now you've kinda stuck yourself with this job because you live in the country
so if it goes pear shaped it will be really bad for you
having people call you right now is great but like i said what happens when someone starts asking questions and looking into your (secret) files
i mean heck i still get emails 5 years after quitting my job about possible job opportunities
like i don't blame you i live in a smaller city in my country away from the state capitol and much prefer it but i make sure i have all t's crossed and my i's dotted if someone randomly decides to crawl up my ass and start snooping around
>like i don't blame you i live in a smaller city in my country away from the state capitol and much prefer it but i make sure i have all t's crossed and my i's dotted if someone randomly decides to crawl up my ass and start snooping around
if someone starts crawling up my ass i'm going to start looking for another job. i have no indication of that right now. and my last performance evaluation (like 2 months ago) was very positive.
fair enough i'd actually have a plan in place if i were you like say you're stressed and need a mental health break or something giving you cover and then switch over to a new job before your current job figures anything out and say something like i just needed a new environment to work in as a fresh start or some airy fairy shit and it's a clean break without anyone's feelings hurt so you can still use them as a reference
>fair enough i'd actually have a plan in place if i were you like say you're stressed and need a mental health break or something giving you cover and then switch over to a new job before your current job figures anything out and say something like i just needed a new environment to work in as a fresh start or some airy fairy shit and it's a clean break without anyone's feelings hurt so you can still use them as a reference
it seems like you're not in the US. in the US companies are basically only allowed to say you worked for them from one date to another date. they're not allowed to slander you. here references are professionals that you worked with and i have many that will say good things about me.
ok well where i'm from your manager or sometimes coordinator has to give a reference not colleagues
>goes pear shaped
Maybe not you but in an earlier post
>in a pickle
I'm pushing 30 but are you people actual boomers?
that's both me
based geezer
I guess you're right. After all this time I still get surprised occasionally by the type of people that post around here.
also who do you think has actual jobs and work experience at the professional level on Cinemaphile? zoomers lol?
At my old job working IT for the government I had a coworker who would just watch Netflix her entire shift. She was rude and flat out refused to do nearly any work. Everyone hated her guts.
I've never seen anything like that before. It's like she was impossible to discipline or something. A fine strategy I guess... till you have to get a new job and your references call you a lazy incompetent frickhead
>till you have to get a new job and your references call you a lazy incompetent frickhead
References are almost never called and why would you refer them to someone that you know is going to say something bad about you? If you're thinking about them calling former employers then the only info that is given is that you worked there and what dates you worked for the company. Use this info for what you will.
>till you have to get a new job and your references call you a lazy incompetent frickhead
In fairness most companies won't actually do anything besides confirm the start and end of your employment there, it's HR policy because criticizing former employees can lead to defamation lawsuits
yeah this chick was the same i worked with her in a different team and she would do stuff like have pirated versions of photoshop on her work pc and was using that to make pamphlets and like other documents we'd use for the team to give to stakeholders and customers
i was like bro you can't have that shit on your computer if IT finds out your up for pirating software in a work capacity they'll fire you and adobe will sue the city and you
she just brushed it off like chill bro it's not a drama i was just like don't involve me in your shit
anyways but that's what she was doing in her old role just make dumb pamphlets or spreadsheets not actually do any real work
meh not my problem but yeah she got caught in her next role and basically demoted
but she was hot so she just put herself out there and some dumb guy would support her but women are oppressed
You sound bitter as frick lol, she sounds based
>blatantly lie about (presumably important) inspections
>not fireable
bullshit, nobody's that incompetent at managing bad actors
government jobs are crazy.
crazy good
that's what happened bro she like i said here
she was basically demoted and sent to another team to do i'm guessing admin work and getting a clerk salary wage instead of a professional level wage
it is hard to get fired in the government and she probably pulled the mental health card to save herself
anyways i didn't ask too many questions just avoided her and the problems she created in the work environment
nah it's a pain in the ass bro because it creates stress for you (boss could be like why didn't you tell me about this, if she says i knew if she's caught) etc etc... it just makes the work environment not laid back and easy going if you know someone is actively doing something wrong, my boss at the time was cool and i wouldn't want him to get into trouble if she's doing dodgy shit in the department
like work isn't some meme where you get to act like you're on your home pc or some shit
I've just started my first ever WFH job and despite all of my colleagues saying what a busy time this is, I've done barely any work. Fiddled around with a word document for a whole week and then found some email address for someone else to send a mass email to. That's it for three weeks.
I love it. The only stress is the feeling I'm going to get caught out. I'm making sure to offer my services to other co-workers now and again, just to cover my ass.
literally all you have to do is put a paperclip in one of your laptop keys and it makes you seem like you are online throughout the day. then you can frickoff on your personal laptop. and if someone calls you then you just switch over to your work laptop.
As someone who actually does things to make money, I understand that most online companies (ie a lot of computer work) must function at a premium of at least 40% of the staff, purely because most people are specialists and don't know some of everything. As long as the business keeps running, I doubt anyone cares that you frick around for hours. I'm both annoyed at the state of society and impressed that bosses are so ignorant to the amount of lollygagging their subordinates can get away with
>impressed that bosses are so ignorant to the amount of lollygagging their subordinates can get away with
They know, they're doing the same thing themselves.
If that were the case, anon wouldn't be worried about anyone finding out
do you think bosses are just born or something?
you'd think, after 50+ years of coding, they'd have figured out some way of streamlining or standardizing things so this doesn't happen
I’d say it’s good to have some redundancy. You can’t really have everyone working flat out as hard as they can all the time. People will burn out and any unexpected increase in workload collapses the system
good point
All programming does is allow us to have more complicated systems. When Westlaw came out and enabled lawyers to search case law way easier, it just made submitted arguments go from 2 pages to 12.
But the benefits are huge. Yes complicated things can be more fragile but it’s still worth it, and there are ways to mitigate these in some cases, like redundancies etc.
> it just made submitted arguments go from 2 pages to 12
There’s more information there, maybe it’s better quality legal representation too, but I wouldn’t know
Yeah I don't disagree. I should have said "All programming does for streamlining processes". The complexity of an organization will grow to whatever the workforce is capable of handling, much in the same way improved transit doesn't lower commute times - it just lets people commute from further away.
>much in the same way improved transit doesn't lower commute times - it just lets people commute from further away.
a lot of that is developers seeing an opportunity to create a suburb in the boondocks because they have access to the train or bus now
Bosses lollygag too. For high-skilled positions companies don't necessarily value volume but instead impact or potential impact. They basically want people on call who could solve any big problem on a whim. I'm one of those people who frick around all day but I've also solved multi-million dollar problems in a couple hours. Its not like a construction worker whos building a house, the house is built and they just need a technocracy to maintain it.
I thought all people in high-level, high paying jobs work their asses off 95% of the time
Maybe in sales or some shit but theres a lot of jobs that require a high-level of technical skill to the point that people are indispensable and the pay is the high. They'll just pay you to be smart and essentially be on call. It is high iq privilege
Sounds glorious. I wish I was like that but I’m not.
I know plenty of people making $200k+ who barely work. They might've worked hard in the past to get to that spot, but once they're there, they know how to coast.
in my experience the higher up you go the less work you do but the more meetings you have to atend
then when you get close to the executive level it's even more meetings and you really have to start getting involved with office politics
Yeah, my dad hit the exec C-suite at a medium-sized company back in the day, and his schedule got absolutely insane after that. He would be travelling internationally 80% of the time, constantly on calls and in video meetings, sending emails at 11PM and waking up at 5AM to talk with India, China, Europe, you name it. Dealing with crazy politics of the board and his peers trying to clamor to the top. I'm pretty sure his blood pressure skyrocketed because of all that, which caused him a ton of health problems. Was it worth it? I don't know, I ask myself that a lot. He made a shit ton of money towards the end of his career but basically traded his life/health/sanity for it. He grew up poor, so I'm pretty sure it was a mental thing for him, the "high score" of his life was measured in money earned.
Traveling all over the world, sitting on video calls and playing irl game of thrones for most of my job sounds horrible. I’d much rather mop floors or flip burgers for 8 hours straight.
yeah but the house is mortgaged the trophy wife lives at home with the kids and the cars are financed
like if you can't keep the charade up the whole house of cards falls down
anyone can flip burgers not everyone can manage other people and keep interpersonal relationships between cutthroat people vying for top jobs working together so the company makes bank and keep all the moving parts moving
even that gay elon admits being a good executive is an important feature to the presidency of the united states not just being a statesman
it's like others have said a lot of people don't actually know how the company works or their job works they just try and climb the ladder as fast as possible and leave a trail of destruction and problems behind them but you can't criticize them because they just got a job equivalent to their bosses job in the hierarchy
and this is the shit promoted in all those youtube grifter videos about embrace the grind
it's why
is right
if you are skilled in something that is very technical work as a private contractor sure you're gunna have to work with all the other plebs but you are so specialised and unreplaceable that they can't just treat you like shit
or you can do as described in this post and try and climb the corporate ladder through any means necessary if you don't have any skills besides sucking dick
i'd much rather just be on retainer basically (on call) if something goes wrong and they need my expertise to fix it and depending on how desperate the situation is for them i can ask for as much money as i want
>yeah but the house is mortgaged the trophy wife lives at home with the kids and the cars are financed
…Other than the wife being a trophy wife you just described normal adult life
financing car's is stupid as soon as they've left the car yard lot they've lost value
just buy a reliable second hand car that is fuel efficient
yeah i get people mortgaging their houses (can't own one without doing it) but they shouldn't do it in a situation where if theirs a rate rise the fed increases interest rates you're in a dire situation
i mean personally i'd just rent in this economic climate even black rock is selling houses now
if wayne buffet has 160 billion in cash and black rock is getting out of real estate it means they think the markets gunna crash so their trying to have the cash to buy up everything penny's on the dollar when the big one comes
instead of the nice house with the big backyard that means you have no savings and everything goes to the mortgage (basically pay cheque to pay cheque) you should be in the 2 bedroom apartment and not have the dog
and realise kids cost +15k a year and increasing as they get older before deciding to have one
Isn’t there immense pressure and responsibility to deliver results? Also it’s my understanding the higher you climb in business the more ambiguous the work becomes, constant uncertainty and unforseeable issues popping up
Absolutely - I remember almost every day some "fire" would come up that he would have to put out (oh some HR woman in Australia forgot to pay these 5 employees and now they are suing, I might have to go to court, oh some senior director was caught watching porn at his computer and I have to decide how to discipline him, oh our CEO said some racial derogatory comment in a doc review comment and a customer saw it, I have to help damage control) those are all real examples I remember, lmao. Literally random crazy bullshit you are responsible for cleaning up every day.
Officegays are extremely fricking dramatic. My gf will literally be laying on the couch watching Netflix during her work hours and go "gosh, I'm SO busy today!"
I think the general lack of intensity makes the small things seem bigger than they are. The mind adapts. I have done nothing all day and was just asked by my manager to send an email over to a client and it was like climbing everest to get it done. Granted there were a bunch of BS processes that I had to follow for the first time and I'm also a big autist but still.
these days if i get a phone call from a number i don't know i won't answer it and let it go to voicemail as a way of vetting it
yeah, i've been doing it for 3 years now.
Can you work remotely just doing html/css web site design or is this a meme? With all the social media sites now, do people even need sites anymore?
>Can you work remotely just doing html/css web site design or is this a meme?
probably. i'm not even a coder. i just have a master's degree in accounting and work in a highly specialized field.
You can’t get hired to do only html and css, you gotta do some sort of actual programming too. Work mostly from home as a web dev monkey myself.
Most wagie gigs are like this if you're competent enough to do the job right, this one grocery store I was at I was never in uniform, always getting high during my breaks and spent the rest of my time there flirting with cashier girls. One day we were packing these weekly special meal kits that were supposed to be 24 Oz. of whatever protein, the fricking idiot department head thought that 24 Oz was 2 pounds and I told his supervisor about it and he had to go and fix them himself. Good times

Underage frick off my board.
oh shit it's the fun police everybody hide the fun
I actually enjoy wagecuck life, my only problem and the thing that's kind of wearing on me is I think about work even when I'm not at work now. But it gave me some small amount of purpose and I dont worry about money really anymore either. Paid off all my debt and got a car recently and paid for it in full so yeah wagecucking not so bad.
I also spent many years neeting and there's a joy to that too if you're content with it.
my pet theory is this works because people stop being a manic annoying homosexuals once they chill out. that means they get on with their coworkers and management sees this since only 50% of doing a job is actually "doing it" and the other is being liked
>i tried out this guy's theory of work (basically not giving a frick and doing very little actual work)
I've been doing this for 10 years and couldn't be happier. This movie changed my life.
I used to be the goodest goy at work but I got slowly buck broken and learned he was right. Company culture is extremely important. Most companies are not worth giving your all to. That's why I run my own small company now. If you do this, your hard work actually pays off. Being a wagie, hour hard work almost never actually pays off. You're just spinning your wheels. The harder you work, the more your employer sees you as a golem to exploit. It's very sad, but that's a good lesson for you zoomers to learn. Your social skills will be far superior to any actual work you do, if you're a wagie.
>The harder you work, the more your employer sees you as a golem to exploit.
this happened to me i started solving problems and getting shit done and then all of the sudden all the problems the other dummies were too stupid to solve got given to me
and then i'm stepping on other peoples toes because they are put in a bad light because the boss has given me their work they were too stupid or lazy to complete and now i'm the bosses darling
makes for a shit work environment because everyone is jealous of you and or hates you
Exactly what I went through. I realized that everyone around me was limiting me. If you have genuine work ethic, I cannot recommend working for yourself enough. Unless you get lucky enough to find a company with a good work culture, but that's so rare it's hardly worth considering.
When ever a new employee asks my name I say I'm duh joka,Bay bee.
That always makes them freak.

i tried out this guy's theory of crashing a plane with no survivors (basically not giving a frick before i put on the mask) and i found that it's extremely painful to pull off. i work remote so it's even harder, but still. what movie concepts have you incorporated into your life?
>i tried out this guy's theory of work (basically not giving a frick and doing very little actual work)
when i made it to a FAANG role i assumed i'd be working alongside highly competent and motivated people. instead i saw just as much mediocrity but it was practiced and wrapped in a veneer of professional. many mediocre employees became and net negative when they adopt a "hustle, work hard, get that promotion" mindset. teams spend more time cleaning up after them, morale drops as everyone has to deal with their emotional theater, managers often get suckered into promoting these fools which turns a problem into an institutionalized policy.
just by virtue of being chill you avoid most of this.

I work with a lot of different accounting firms. You better truly love sitting in one spot all day doing repetitive tasks. Do your best to take a remote job so you aren’t stuck in that hell.
>Do your best to take a remote job so you aren’t stuck in that hell.
You work remote? Do I necessarily need in person experience first before attaining that position? Do you work less or more than 8 hours if you did do remote?
I work remote about half the time but I work in software, not accounting. Just work with a lot of accountants. Honestly I doubt you need much experience to start working remotely. I would try it first especially if it’s what you would want to do. No one I know who works remotely actually works what they are supposed to. Just get their tasks done and move on with their life. Usually 30ish hours even if their salary is for 40.
>Do I necessarily need in person experience first before attaining that position? Do you work less or more than 8 hours if you did do remote?
i think most places will start you out with 3 remote days per week. lots of places are wanting to see people in the office again. at one time i found myself in a position where i was working 7 days a week and the my boss told me i could just stay home and work 100% remote. then the amount of work i had to do dropped significantly.

>at this point I've grown bored of drawing, shitposting, and playing vidya on my phone
Am I gonna make it?
Have I already?
Embrace your new reality and use your time for something productive if you're bored of the distractions
>use your time for something productive
I have no aspirations.

frick your boss
Nothing wrong with that if she doesn't expect you to get any work done and acknowledges it's her fault. Seems based, even.
It's only bad when you have a situation like I had a few years back, when my homosexual alcoholic moron boss wouldn't train us or even tell us to do anything, then get pissed off when he saw us not doing anything. If you asked what he wanted you to do, he would seethe even harder and shout that we should "find something to do", even though there was literally nothing we could possibly do. So, this resulted in everyone fricking around until he or his moronic low IQ Black person minion was around, then we'd turn around and pretend to be busy until they fricked off, then we went back to talking and messing around.
I'm curious how companies like that even stay afloat. We were all being paid very well for entry-level job, too. Like nearly twice the normal rate. Yet the management was totally incompetent. Just baffling. Guy must have been a relative or something, only thing I can think of, because he was a total dipshit.
Oh yeah, just the 2nd day I was there I finished up all the work I was given, and no one was around, so I got on my phone and started texting. About a half hour later, the Black person minion came in, saw me from across the room, came over angry and shouted that I wasn't allowed to be on my phone and if he saw me on my phone again I'd be out the door. I calmly said I was new and asked him what I should be doing instead, and he said "I DON'T KNOW, FIND SOMETHING TO DO." So I watched other employees to see what they were up to, and realized that everyone just fricked around with their papers and computers until the Black person and boss were away, then went back to talking, using their phones or playing games.
what you need is to look at your job description form and see who you report too
the point is if you don't have to report to the minion he isn't your boss he's just some dumb minion
a lot of people have titles like senior officer, coordinator etc.. but in your job description it says you only report to the manager
that doesn't mean you should be outright hostile to these guys just means you don't really have to listen to them but they may have the bosses ear
>basically not giving a frick and doing very little actual work
I learned this early with disposable retail jobs.
You're a sucker if you try too hard and literally every department will take advantage of you. When you barely care whatever little worm manager wants you to do something they'll think about whether or not it's worth the hassle or find some other willing bug to fill in.
After a while everyone (including some managers) kinda start to respect you and leave you alone.
you missed the point of the movie
once he went into construction, he was happy to bust his ass
I tried this guy's theory of drinking (Basically drinking very day and doing very little work) and I ended up in the hospital after having a massive seizure then relapsed and crashed my car so I can safely say it is not possible to pull off (pretty sure I'm going to die soon. But still, what movie concepts have you incorporated into your life?
How did drinking cause you to have a massive seizure?
it's a literal neurotoxin
skill issue
It can happen during withdrawal if you stop drinking too fast. And also due to something called the kindling effect, each time you stop drinking and start again the chance of a seizure goes up
Based WFH Chad. I took work remote, 3rd shift for a power company doing IT lol. It's sooooooo cake. I barely do anything.
lol all these IT gays in the chat thinkn keeping the website online = what the engineers and scientists are doing for the company
>get to new job
>receive "training" that consists of playing shitty flash games on a computer about workplace safety
>suddenly someone asks me some bullshit question like what I would do if wire D6 on connect FA on system part EQ77PA7890 was giving an error code
>I dunno, I'd have to look it up.
>hurr why don't you know this this is literally ur job you have to be hitting the books all day every day until you can answer this like that *snaps fingers*
>later on I ask one of my supervisors a simple question
>he's playing games on his phone, tells me to look it up cause he doesn't know
I work remote in a boomer run company that still does everything the hard way
I do the same work in probably 10% of the time it takes them to do it.
This was me until the upstart new VP caught wind and promoted me to a more technical position where I actually have to work now. It's a good career move for me but damn I miss making $80k a year to send out some automated excel reports
>It's a good career move for me but damn I miss making $80k a year to send out some automated excel reports
i currently make 80k pushing around excel files. i know the amount of bullshit i'll have to endure if i go to the next level so i'm happy staying where i'm at
>half of Cinemaphile make 150k every year doing 1 hour of work a month
okay
everyone on Cinemaphile is actually a millionaire, honey
I've met a lot of dudes who pull 6 figures and are morons/incels, so I actually believe it.
yeah yeah you're all millionaires. we all believe you it's so cool
I didn't say I was a millionaire, homosexual. I barely make 6 figures depending on my annual bonus. Tens of millions of Americans make more than I do.
wow so cool
1:42pm eastern standard time
big thread about how everyone is in IT making +100k working from home doing nothing lol
Seething wagecucks
They're also all 6'2" with a wife, home, and 2.3 children
the height one is always funny. If you are 6 feet tall you are in the 13th percentile for height (in the US) yet somehow on the internet everyone actually manages to be taller than that
everyone in america is so afraid of being authentic because then they have to admit they're average
They all have time to go and brag about their jobs and lives on a weekday as well because they're all CEOs here too.
If/when you get your first corporate job, you'll find out. When I took my position as a data anlyst, I realized just about every major KPI we used was pulling in garbage data. I have no idea how this company exists but we make more and more momey every year.
this movie is so so gay, total urbanite mindset, I wouldn't blink killing these people captive bolt
>wow so cool
no not the greentext
>implying I can't shitpost here while I'm on my way to the back of the store to stock more milk on the counter
Govt worker; I do "nothing" for 8hrs a day. By nothing I mean I check and respond to e-mails and on occasion run the division when my boss isn't there. Other than those things generally I take a nap during the afternoons and buy stocks on my phone. I also walk around outside a lot. Generally I've got no stress at all in my daily work life.
Every time I get a new job, I become incredibly confident and assertive for the last 2 weeks of my current job and everyone compliments me on my boldness and how well I'm getting things done. I push back against my bosses and they respect it, sometimes they even ask why I wasn't so assertive before. Then I leave and start my new job where I retreat into my shell once more and become a yes-man sheepishly trying to avoid getting fired. I still haven't learned my lesson, I'm stuck in this cycle forever.
Don't be average or less. Do always your best, in every situation.
And don't try to live a life that isn't yours.
>t.
