/biz/ - Business & Finance

My job is so fucking boring. It's a not really necessary bureaucrat job. I get paid more than I did in all previous jobs and get to work from home permanently but it's surprising how the novelty has worn off.

My department is really badly organised. My team is huge and doesn't care about the company's ways of working, which makes my job kind of pointless. They took me on to fill in some minor resource gaps (I was hired company-wide but resourced afterwards).

My typical day starts with turning on the laptop at 9 am, shaving/shitting and wasting time for 45 minutes and sitting in a few pointless status update meetings. I've become an expert at making a tiny bit of work seem significant enough for an update. My mornings usually involve more department-wide or status meetings, so I browse the internet. Then I have lunch and go for a walk for almost an hour. I worry slightly about being gone from my laptop in case someone messages me, but it hasn't ever caused an issue. Then I waste the rest of the workday. Maybe I do some work but it doesn't matter.

Feels bad to be in this position when other people in their early 30s are in high up managerial positions or working on hard technical stuff or doing entrepreneurial stuff. I'm in an environment where everything has to be justified with tonnes of paperwork (in fact, my job basically involves doing some of the process, but its the part my team doesn't care about). I can't make decisions through common sense.

EVEN IF YOU PAY YOUR LOANS THE RIDE NEVER ENDS THE JEW LOANS WILL NOT LET YOU WALK FREE

I'm worried about my job.

>be me, spergy beta, but I've been able to somehow advance in my career
>started a manager-level job but have no one to actually manage
>team I work in is disorganised as fuck
>team is filled with boomers who are almost entirely external consultants from another company
>team is run by two stereotypical meat-faced 45-55 boomer males
>no formal org chard but those boomers act like my managers even though they're consultants
>my actual manager (boomer) works in a totally separate area so doesn't see day-to-day how broken things are
>the working methods in my team aren't what my manager wants at all, and part of my job is to fix that
>the two lead boomers in my team took a lot of work away from me for no good reason
>one boomer gave bullshit feedback to my manager ("not proactive enough", even though they took away all my fucking work and every piece of work is dropped top-down from the lead boomers)
>worried I might be let go or moved lower down when it's time for my manager to formally review me

I am going to have to become a lot more assertive, even if it's risky.

I'm not an oversocialised normie or an extrovert, so one of my fears is that I'm going to be forced out of any manager or above level job I ever get in to because people don't accept me. And I think people really look down on me as the guy who should be doing menial work and taking orders but who isn't suitable to be a "leader". I put "leader" in quotes because all thinking about leadership is a morass of bullshit that seems to ultimately serve as a self-fellating legitimisation exercise and group therapy facilitator for groups of oversocialised normies in workshops.

This is the highest paying job I've had and I get to work 100% wfh. I'm sick of normies getting handed everything while I have to scrap for every little bit of career fortune.

I have a crypto stack of about $16K, mostly Bitcoin.
The returns each cycle are clearly diminishing, let's say Bitcoin tops at $120K in 2025.
That's only a 4x from this point, so I'll have $64K if I time the top perfectly. Call it $80K, assuming Ether and other stuff I own outperforms Bitcoin.
After that I get destroyed by taxes, leaving $45K total profit.
That sum is fucking laughable. All it can buy is nuke a portion of my mortage.
And watch inflation average at 4% every year from now on.
Fuck... I'm never going to make it, am I.
