How do I find a side project to work on?
I'm in a development job where I do literally nothing, it's pretty sweet but I really wish I was working on something so my skills weren't stagnating

>napping on company time

wfh is comfy life

>>28094313
Unironically fiverr or upwork. If you have in demand skill (and even if you don’t), there’s tons of hobs people need done. I treat it like a side quest. To start out, massively underbid on contracts to make sure you get them, start accessing good feedback for timely quality work, and then it will start coming to you.

>>28092630
Very comfy here lads. Student here working at my internship now and have quit my wagecuck weekend job. I made 15k in one month off crypto using ADA, that is 4 year salaries as a retail clothing salesman. Life is good...

>>28092630
WFH is sick and I'm comfy as hell. I basically take a few calls and browse biz all day and jack off.

>>28094633
I'll give it a shot. I wanted to try to find a group dev project because I still feel like I'm too novice to handle a project entirely on my own, but I can whip up a functional android or web app so why the fuck not. What happens if you fail to deliver?

Was there a year neets got btfo any harder than 2020?

all of their smug mocking turned on its head as the true white collar chads became the king of the neets, collecting five to six figure salaries instead of government scraps by wiggling a mouse every ten minutes from the comfort of their home, all the while still retaining the respect and admiration of friends and family and all the freedoms of neethood.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mass neet suicide soon.

>>28094878
How the fuck do you only make 15k in 4 years even factoring in part time. What shithole gingbok ganesh country do you live in?
Even at 7.25/hr 20 hrs/wk it's 30k over 4 years (which are really, really conservative estimates)

>>28095909
There’s all kinds of projects including team ones. If you fail hard the worst that happens is bad reviews and it’s harder to get work, enough and you get B&. You can set achievable parameters for the contract before you start though. There’s a few diff services to sign up for if you flake out on one.

>>28096001
Dangerously based. Some of us do less “work” in our actual jobs than a neet does to keep his paltry benefits going. Meanwhile we’re eating luxury meals, getting paid to have sex with our women, and can afford whatever other “petit joies de vivre” we desire.

>>28092630
The wife/WFH/ too so the nooners on company dime are even better than the sneaky ones we used to get in when we worked together for a year.

>>28096165
Well I am 20 now and when I started working there 4 years ago I made 3.95 euro's an hour....

>>28096505
>Some of us do less “work” in our actual jobs than a neet does to keep his paltry benefits going
This is a clear indication of societal decline and moral corruption. Ultimately you're no different than the neets you mock– lazy, weak men who don't realise their decadence goes hand-in-hand with the death of western civilisation. see pic related

It's comfy working from home doing absolutely nothing, but it doesn't feel like there's much of a future in it. My skills are stagnating and no one ever "made it" by just wageslaving.

And come the end of the Fall, I'll have my Bachelors degree and nearly 2 years of remote work under my belt. Then I can buy a house with my savings/crypto gains and not have to live with mommy anymore.

>>28098836
I use the hours saved from wage slavery to start a family wth my wife so we can have many children.

>>28098836
What do you want us to do about it? White collar jobs in general are meaningless and don’t produce any real value to society. The fact that we all still have jobs after a year of doing almost zero work shows this.

>>28092630
bros i literally cannot shit outside my home and ive been SO FUCKIN COMFY since the pandemic

ahh they just announced that once "we're back", we'll have to be in the office 3 days a week, and can remote 2 days a week. better than nothing I guess

>>28094526
kek, dare I say based and larppilled

It's comfy. I get paid £450 a day and some days I barely do any work.

>>28098836
I agree. But me being at the office does not suddenly make my job any more meaningful

I might have to work for a few hours today. But I'll be taking days off soon so it's all good. Hoping for a promotion this month, otherwise I'll wait for my benefits to vest and start interviewing elsewhere for a pay raise

>>28092630

Morning 'murican king. I'm watching my folio and swing trading while preparing things to interview for an higher paying job. Fuck the american nigger kikes I work for.

>>28098836

My actual workload from before covid and now has not changed in the slightest. The only difference is in the meaningless fluff work I would engage in while under the watchful eye of the workplace to feign productivity.

Now I only do the actual work I have to do and don't have to spend an hour of my day driving to an office filled with people I don't care about to do the 2 hours of work week that I can do from the comfort of my computer. This doesn't even include the hours of wasted productivity in coffee breaks, mindless socialization, extended lunches, moving to and from meetings, etc.

This isn't some newfound revelation. This has always been the case. WFH simply put things in perspective.

>>28094526
Pretty much me. I do nothing all day and sometimes stay late because of it, and when I do I get thumbs up from my boss.

The thing is when I started here I busted my ass off learning the systems and genuinely put in between 50 and 60 hour work weeks when support was particularly heavy. Now I’m one of the most knowledgeable people in my area and we keep hiring idiots who refuse to learn what we support so I literally slack off all day other than meetings and answering questions or occasionally looking into things. I put in maybe 10 hours of work a week now. I’m a “software engineer” but I’ve only spent like 1% of my “work” time of the last year writing code

>working remote for a part of the country that's totally locked down

Headed to the bar later to get paid to get day drunk.

>>28100377
They're trying that at my place too.

These boomer managers really can't get it through their heads that our jobs can be done remotely.

I hope they're ready for 2/3 of the staff to leave if they're actually stupid enough to go through with it.

What job op?

>>28100377
I unironically miss going to work because I feel like a NEET, whereas I felt someone productive getting up in the morning and driving to work.

>>28094633
Checked but why start there? I'm assuming you and the guy you're replying to are Westerners, you could go to virtual business meetups and tell motherfuckers you're a software engineer who's open to consulting and just immediately begin making American money instead of pennies not even poos and slavs would get out of bed for.

>>28101626
>The only difference is in the meaningless fluff work I would engage in while under the watchful eye of the workplace to feign productivity.

Since 6 months ago the amount of busy BS work I have to engage in has increased by a fucking lot. All the middle man line and product managers just keep finding ways to justify their paycheck with stupid inane bullshit that their underlings will need to carry on.

I find it all amusing your bosses are so bad at remote teams that you actually get away with not working. If any of you were my team no only would you work from home youd work together and be happy and productive. Congratulations to anyone who was smart enough to ignore their weak boss though and take a well earned vacation.

this. covid made me a day drunk. am i eligible for government handouts?

Does anyone own a standing desk? I'm seriously thinking about getting one. I've had mid backpain issues for at least 5 years now, been to doctors, had MRIs done, have had physical therapy.. nothing seems to fix it. So my next stop is to consider the fact that my posture is shit and that I sit all day. Vertdesk, Uplift, and Jarvis desks all look good. I am 6ft so need something that can go high and still be stable.

>>28101909

Went back to school at 26 after being a retail wagie for too long, got an associates in Computer Networking/Security, took on an internship for a small (7 people including me) telecom company that turned into a fulltime gig, covid hit and my boss is a germaphobe so he kicked me out and told me to work from home and there are no plans for me to return, it was a small office to begin with and we already had another guy work exclusively from home. I've recently cut back to 28 hours a week so I can do classes fulltime again; right now I'm about 2 more semesters from finishing my Bachelors. I've been working like a dog for the last 3 years, but shit does get better anon. Just don't expect it to happen, you're going to be working harder than ever for awhile if you want to escape the wagie-cagie. At one point I was juggling 2 internships, studying full time, and being a care taker for my aunt. Most of the niggas working from home have worked hard to get here.

Work hard for yourself, and it will pay off, bigly.

Gentlemen, I had my Monday 10am, replied and reassigned some tickets, checked my systems storage arrays, and will now do nothing for the rest of the day.

Cheers!

My company sold off several buildings and are completely gutting their offices and turning them into 'collaborative spaces' that you will schedule in advance with your team for important meeting/collaboration days.

Morning, gents. Just drinking some coffee and pretending to work. What's everyone planning for lunch? I'll be making some salmon.

Its pretty great, started an online business, getting paid 2k a month from that, hoping to get up to 6k a month by EOY so I can give even fewer fucks about my 60k a year job.

Not him but it's not uncommon. My commute would be close to 2 hours (like 35 miles, traffic is that bad in Dallas) but when I got hired I negotiated remote days. I've actually already been remote for 2 years but its nice to see everyone else is finally on this comfy train.

>>28108930
I used to live in new jersey and everyone there had a 2 hour each way commute and acted like it was normal. as a kid it horrified me. i fucked off to a city that supposedly had good transit to escape that shit. but in reality it didn't. the light rail coverage LOOKED like it would be decent, but due to transfers, sprawl (city metro was literally a 30 mile smear...cities in europe are like 2 miles across, max), and low frequencies, in reality the commute was hell. moved to a really liberal city instead that swears it's a public transit mecca. frequencies are damned good here. worst commute i had here was 45 min, and 20 of that was walking in a scenic area. now my office is a 10 min walk from my apt, but i still wfh anyway.

you couldn't pay me enough to live in dallas. 2 hours on a train/bus is one thing but 2 hours driving, especially in traffic, is a uniquely american hell. and the hilarious thing is that america used to have the BEST transit in the world before boomers ripped out all our trains and streetcars and sprawled the shit out of our cities.

there are at most 10 cities in america worth living in. everything else is total garbage. i hate liberals but it's better liberals with transit than the other side.

Always justify it. Don't say "I want a $5k raise because I think I deserve it", say that you feel you bring that much value to the company and back it up with some examples.

>>28096505
Wish that were me. Just changed positions went from 10-12 hour hectic days managing work in the field to 8-10 in an office. It’s comfier and less stressful now but I have to commute farther.

How could I get a WFH job as a neet? Are programming and call jobs my only options?

>>28112379
I work in manufacturing; controls/PLC/automation specifically. You could definitely swing into Data Science or Cybersec which are pretty hot right now. I worked IN a plant for years doing PLC work and now have an extremely cozy corporate gig where I consult on automation projects at various plants, but don't actually go there. stay in the plant a couple more years, learn from your technicians and operators, then pivot to something that you can do more "remotely".

>>28114222
you can't get a programming job just like that dude. even people with actual comp sci degrees can't just find a job in it.

actual unemployment is around 20%, idc what the govt says the numbers are. tons of people just cannot get jobs in their field. i only have a job because i have a resume and bros in a staffing company who placed me. even then i'm technically a temp worker.

wfh is comfy but the actual job market is still fundamentally fucked.

After finishing my computer engineering degree and working in programming for a while I realised I fucked hated it. I reconverted myself into a BI Analyst. Way easier and the pay is better

Enlighten me chads, I work in the office right now but want a fully remote position. I do IT right now and it's stupid easy and I'm pretty good at it.

Do I look for a remote IT or developer spot? My master's is in Machine Learning so I think I could make some serious coin, but I care more about how hard I have to work for it.

>>28105908

Software Dev here. I hate litle shits like the guy in your picture to the bone. Funny thing is, they drop out in the first year while attending some mediocere college.

Legit could use some help finding a comfy WFH job. I don't even mind actually working when I'm supposed to.

What's a good place to find a legitimate job? I keep coming across call center jobs for like $10-13, maybe up to 16 sometimes. I get into the training for said jobs and it's clear I'm the most experienced/skilled person there. Half the training is waiting while boomers and retards struggle using the Teams. It's all so tiresome.

I have years sales/management experience, a good variety of other experience. No explicit dev knowledge, but I learn pretty quickly. Do a bit of collaborative work with some folks on an MMO server emulation in C++/Lua, but I'm definitely not a main player. No degree.

I am a poorfag who only makes 30k a year but I've been working from home since 2017, welcome to my life successful people.

Check Wells Fargo. I do WFH with them and make about $25/hour, usually 3 or 4 of which I actually spend working durign the day.

WFH here. Not making much money but also not working full time.
Anyway I used to work for a small company where we delegated a couple hours playing co-op games. Hell I would look over at the other guy's screen and he's just looking at Netflix or social media. Some of the other guys even worked a different job. It was as close to work from home as it could get while working in an office. Still got paid incredibly well.

All I do is play WoW, workout, sleep, and do my 2-3 hours of work a day on a 90k/yr.

How the hell do call center WFH jobs even work? Won't you still work the full 9 to 5 hours? Do they record your call times or something? I've never worked this type of job but if shit hits the fan, I'm thinking of picking it up because of the pay.

Signing off for another day lads, did a solid 2 hours work and sent an email an hour after closing hours to my manager.

Life is good

>>28119520
>>28113594

So something like "considering what ive delivered over and above my job, for example, x and y, i think a fairer salary would be in the region of Z and that would also bring me in line my the average in this area, would that be possible?"?

I don't want to sound like a pussy, but at the same time I don't want to come over as a dickhead.

>>28122290
>sent an email an hour after closing hours to my manager.
I hope you used a timed email send, instead of actually logging in an hour after closing hours anon. We shouldn't be wasting our precious outside of work hours!

>>28122170
Pretty much for call center jobs you remote in via something like Citrix or via a web browser, do work through there for call center jobs.

Programmer buddies just communicate via slack/teams/discord and do work via Git.

Yes but US salaries are inflated to hell.

>>28122680
>Pretty much for call center jobs you remote in via something like Citrix or via a web browser, do work through there for call center jobs.
When you work from home, how much hours do you actually put in? I can picture working less hours for programming if you're assigned to finishing a piece, but with call center work, isn't it just a never-ending stream of calls?

>finish all my calls for the day in the morning
>book fake events on my calendar to seem busy
>everyone thinks I’m incredibly hard working
>nap whenever I want

Working is literally heaven right now I get paid to take two hours of meetings and shitpost on biz in my comfy setup

Life is fucking good

>>28122933
For call center, they generally have the means to measure if you're in queue. For one job I worked, you could prevent incoming calls by changing statuses to run to the restroom or go on break.

I got switched around to different teams (sort of promotions). From December into most of January, I was working in an outbound-focused role and legit able to dick off because the company's sales volume outpaced their ability to scale personnel and monitor them effectively.

My last week, after another role change, I was getting hassled for the dumbest shit while legitimately doing work. I was on their highest tier of performers, too. I left. Fuck that shit.

>>28092630
WFH is based. I spend like 4 hours working and then after lunch I do whatever I want, which is usually work on my side business, stocks, and crypto.
>never understood how people work all the time
>realize that my side business and stock/crypto research and trading are all work
>realize that success happens when work becomes fun
Just gotta get to the point where I can quit my wagie job and do my side business fulltime.

I've been using this trick pretty much constantly during WFH for almost the last year. We do sprints with stories etc and even though the stories are really easy because I'm in the team for like 3 years and most of my colleagues are noobs, so they estimate shit which takes like a day max at 3 points which is like 3 days of work. Of course I don't correct them and during the sprint I often volunteer to take these inflated stories which are actually very easy. Now here comes the trick, the first day I work my ass off and pretty much finish the story in like half a day, fully focussed. Then, I immediately push the code and on the NEXT DAY, I announce I'm looking for a code reviewer in my team.

Now here comes the trick, the team is now aware you worked really hard and you are looking to push the story through the sprint from review to test. So once they know, I just say to the reviewer "wait, this might take some extra work, I think I missed an edge case" or a variation thereof. The reviewer is often happy he can continue his own work and I then proceed to do LITERALLY NOTHING the entire day BUT at the end of the day, I do this:

git commit --amend --date="$(date -R)"

Literally no changes but it shows up as entire new commit in Slack, JIRA, Gitlab and so forth. Then the next day, I announce to the team I found some edge cases I had to cover and I discussed this with <name of reviewer>, praising him for his help. Explicitly giving the word to him next so that he can CONFIRM we in fact did this. It's like an alibi of doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING and the reviewer is kinda put on the spot because he knows nothing about those edge cases and can say not much more than "yeah, anon is right that's what we did and I continued with story yada yada".

This is basically how I coast through the entire work week and of course the scenario is not exactly the same every day but the gist of it is I pretend I work my ass off yet doing like 5% of the work pitch perfect.

>>28121168

>>28105787
My company is doing the same thing, except I managed to finesse them into allowing me ro relocate to a cheaper state, so I don't even have to go in for "collaborative" days. Paying zero state income tax now, my cost of living has dropped significantly, and I'm still doing like NO WORK.

>>28123256
So many software developers in this thread. My brother in law is a software manager and I’ve told him twice that during COVID no one does anything and we have been so unproductive since this whole thing began. Both times he didn’t believe me and told me productivity has increases because people are having less coffee breaks and less chat breaks.

So guess what, upper management thinks we’re all doing great. Keep up the good work.

How are you going to deal with your company docking your pay when you've settled in East Bumfuck and have no good employers near you for them to compete with?

https://www.businessinsider.com/tech-companies-cutting-salaries-outside-bay-area-twitter-facebook-vmware-2020-9

Ironically the most liberal companies moved on this first, but all companies will do it.

>>28124011
I think that's because upper management has no overview of what's going on anymore. They barely talk to the people below them and probably do jackshit too. It's honestly all a fad and we're all just cogs in a machine which already works.
I know for a fact that many colleagues of mine don't work that hard either. I'm NEVER going back to the office. EVER. Apparently the value I add right now is enough to be sustainable, why would I return to a shitty commute, shitty offce politics, shitty colleagues talking to me, shitty lunches from my lunchbox and not being able to sit in clothes which are comfy.

Pandora's box has been opened and you are all cucks if you ever go back to being oppressed in an office.

>>28123256
This is next level sneakiness. The worst I do is git commit --no-verify to bypass the linter.

Fair, but can anybody recommend a good source for looking for said work that isn't filled with scams or 50,000 applicants per position?

>>28124575
Yeah that’s true really. The business has been told so many times by IT that it’s hard and technical work that they expect long delays on updates and when you push dates back they just accept it, so there’s really no one to actually answer to. I’m pretty sure my boss works less than I do, she doesn’t even attend half the meetings.

I wish I could short IT as a whole. This entire field is one massive waste of money. There are times where what you do is critical, but 90% of your job is just there to waste time.

>>28124746
Get into coding lad. It's not too hard, and it'll pay well.

>>28123197
>For one job I worked, you could prevent incoming calls by changing statuses to run to the restroom or go on break.
A good system would log that though, so they'd know you're slacking if you overuse it. Maybe I'm overestimating competency though.
> I left. Fuck that shit.
What do you do now?

>>28123256
Don't they have side by side logs that show changes between commits? I guess you're benefiting from your reviewer's incompetence.

>>28125244
>Fair, but can anybody recommend a good source for looking for said work that isn't filled with scams or 50,000 applicants per position?
Are you just looking for a generic "job"? I assume you have some past experience that would qualify you for a certain industry or type of job.

I'm currently in law school, previously worked as a fraud investigator but lost position due to the coof. Since moved and have been unable to find anything WFH that isn't complete shit. Have no IT skills.

>>28125536
They do, but ammending the commit doesn't add a new commit. It's basically sending the server the same commit and pretending it's a new one (it's actually a new one because the timestamp changed, you will have to force push to overwrite the commit history). Try it, it's pretty reliable. Unless someone were to keep your branch locally and then checkout your new push as a new branch and then diff, they won't notice. Even if the pull they often get convoluted error messages saying that local and remote have diverged. If that happens, I tell them to just delete their local branch and check it out anew. It's honestly pretty fool proof. Maybe someone with actual git experience and who wants to flash you will notice, but other than that there's really no point. Of course, you have to have some game. If you talk to people like a complete sperg and can't white lie you're going to get caught eventually.

I unironically was asked once, and I got pulled in a meeting with architects on why I was squashing my commits as it wasn't something they saw usually. So I pulled all kinds of tweets and mailing list stuff from Linus Torvalds who recommends it, backing up my choices for a clean git history and so forth. These architects are really high level and they still think we use SVN or somethng so I even earned their respect by explaining it.

It's honestly just navigating through the web of people who can give you some sort of credit and trust and rolling along.

Correct, but you can test their limits little by little. Some employers might have a stats section that shows your comparison to other wagies. I've had 2-3 that did, even prior to coof. When you see your stats are TOO GOOD compared to the average, you know you have some wiggle room.

Sales is not a good WFH industry because you still need to perform and can't fake sales. If you're technically sound you can try a traineeship at some mega corp like IBM or Accenture or whatever. It will such the first year or so but you will learn a lot and once you're in a mega corp you can just apply to functions internally.

You're literally starting from the bottom, I would aim at low-level marketing jobs like business development, or some kind of entry-level consulting job like Business Analyst.

I would do a web dev bootcamp if you just want to jump in and get a marketable skill asap, udemy has a good one with some cute gook chick. If you can take it slower I would start with MITs 6.00x from edX, it's more of a beginner CS course using python but will give you amazing fundamentals

Just focus on making it with your investments and trading knowledge with /biz/.

If you didn't already know your productivity is really higher than those of most other developers, but you are getting paid the same wage.
What the others estimate to take 3 days really take them this amount of time.
You don't need to feel bad or feel the need to explain why it takes you so much time because that's the normal expected speed of a slower person.

Neck yourself when your bot makes a mistake when faced with a better written bot and you go bankrupt.
Time to make your taxes and report all those taxable events!

>>28131007
Writing the bot is the easy part, the strategy is the hard part.
But if you are serious or have any ideas drop me a mail to algo_trading_biz at protonmail and we can talk more

I am certain your risk management will be able to explain how you didn't manipulate the market with your bot and don't deserve prison.. after you send them the handwritten report with your 10000+ trades.
And by the way don't ask me why your bot stops being profitable after a few weeks doing the same thing.

Who /looking/ on company time?

> HR releases new compensation plan
> It makes tenure at a position as a mandatory requirement for promotions
> Raises are also frozen for a year to recalibrate everyone's salaries
> This is because muh pay equity
> Already competent enough to be at the next position as defined by their promotion performance criteria, but won't meet the tenure requirement for another year

Since then I've been blasting my resume out. I've already breezed through some recruiting screens and have technical interviews lined up. All of which, was of course done and scheduled on company time.

The dream would be to work at a remote first company HQ'd in NY or SF and still get to live in a relatively low COLA city. Wish me luck lads, and I wish the best my fellow wfh wagies who are also looking.

>>28131647
What exactly do you think is ileagal in running a bot?
You do have a point in the profitability part but that is why you need a pipeline for model recalibration etc.

>>28131348
If you learn some technical shit and can write a backend, you are a "unicorn". There's a cliche that backend devs are autistic nerds and front end designers are retarded hipsters with no technical knowledge. A good programmer with a design background is valuable. Put up a fancy portfolio and keep an active github

>God damn it I'm planning on going to law school
I have a coworker who has about a half million dollars in debt from going through law school. Decided about 3 years into it that he wanted to code and went to a bootcamp to learn it. Says he loves it a lot more and wishes he learned about it earlier. It's not too late homie. Do some tutorials, see if you like the shit, and if you do, get into it. Who cares what you've spent. If you're close to a degree, get the degree and get out. The degree just shows you're capable of learning anyhow.

Congratulations, WFH chads. Monday is over. Today was another easy, lazy day in my bathrobe. Browsed biz all day, smoked some weed after lunch and watched Narcos. Pretty good show.

>Be software engineer
>Get stupid idea that I should go back to school to do something else to "make a difference"

>Missing out on all this comfy wfh free paychecks
Lots of software bros in the thread, the fuck do I do to make myself look hire-able again?

>>28124518
There is no pay cut, anon. And this policy will backfire on any company that does it because WFH is not going away. It doesn't matter where I live because everything is going remote anyway.

>>28126090
Most firms are WFH right now. Just grind it out in school and get associate positions, why are you paying for an education and wasting your time trying to find unrelated slack off work.

>>28121182
Can I ask what your degree is in?

Thanks anon

You may have been partially joking but that's actually fucking brilliant. Is there anything that says you can't be employed full-time in 2 jobs at the same time? The last 2 weeks would just be 'offboarding' tasks anyway.

>>28134842
Some jobs have that in your contract, but it's not illegal.

>>28133154
I haven't gone to law school yet, my professors all told me to live my life first before doing it LOL

Didn't do shit today but earned more than a week's worth of salary from my stocks. I need a little crash for motivation

lol, this class is already worth the money. Gonna use this to fuck with my MAGA parents.

>>28134842
No I think it's just a dick move and if your new employer finds out they won't be stoked.

Yeah, and what do you do now? Some of us don't have a goldmine business idea right off the bat you know. In order to come up with money to fund your business ventures, often times you have to start out "working for someone else". Being employed doesn't mean you will be employed forever, you can still make it and actually learn and network, something a NEET or someone who swears off "working for someone else" forever would have a much more difficult time doing.

You're probably just a jealous faggot that doesn't get paid for 8 hours of work doing 1 hour of work like the rest of us workchads.

In addition, we can take the time we're stealing from our companies and use it to learn shit about investments, business, make stock/crypto trades/etc.

whats are good work from home jobs to apply to? i dont want to go back to office life

should i learn to code or are there any other optoins. maybe telephone sales?

>>28127647
Hey man, I went to school to become a doctor but now I'm WFH doing supply chain
If you're not autistic and have a good resume, you can get a job doing bullshit WFH no problem

I bought a nice property on a lake and have been renovating it into an Airbnb while still raking in my Aerospace engineer salary.

This will be my 2nd Airbnb and it's very close to my existing one so I don't have any worries about the actual management of this new property when I launch it (which I had already automated anyway).

I've been able to learn learn some great new skills with my hands, work with my Dad on the weekends when he comes over to help, I'm expanding my business, increasing my income, and I just formally changed my position to permanently be WFH last week. Feels fucking good man.

>Worked in IT Support
>Forced to work remotely due to coronahoax, can't complain
>Was chill for a while where I had to only answer a few calls and tickets
>Eventually others started to return to the office while I was the last one working in remote helpdesk
>Work increased by a magnitude of a fuckton as I was the only one on helpdesk while others were busy doing projects and changing everything around, including superfluous stuff like network drive locations and user/group policies, increasing the amount of tickets/calls even more
>Bear in mind this is a small IT team with less than half a dozen employees offering support for a large company with literally thousands of employees
>Was ordered to return to work physically when this country decided to lift the lockdowns temporarily
>Quit my job without a notice

Zero regrets. I'm a NEET but I wouldn't mind finding a comfy WFH job if it's even possible now.

>>Quit my job without a notice

good. well fucking done. they SHOULD be punished for taking away maximum comfy from us. congrats anon. cant stand fucking penny pinching cheap ass employers who just expect you to break your back for them with no increae in pay as they refuse to hire more help that everyone knows they need

my last job did the same thing. 1 coworker quit, 1 got fired, office grew in size and they wouldnt fucking hire anyone else to help my department and expected me and 1 other dude to do everything which was already a full workload for 4 people

>WFH IT job
>Actually have to work
>shit pay
>was going to job hop but Corona nuked the economy so no jobs
I really need my shitcoins to moon so I can be free

>>28137678

If they break it they buy it. Actually if they break anything I normally make money because I over-evaluate the cost.

However, each a year I have at most one bad guest. And I've gotten better at having them not book in the first place. Being a high-end place to stay on a lake means I avoid the kind of guests who would really cause any issues. I've thought about expanding to a ski resort or another lake but never to a major city for the reason you mentioned.

>>28092630
Work from home isn't fun it's just a more advanced slavery, keep everyone in a little box, make them pay for their own electricity and heat, no cute women to ogle, no bants with your co workers (at least I can get that here), but it feels so empty. No I'm not even a normalfag, I'm a social recluse, even I need something to weigh my alone time against

>>28122290
>sent an email an hour after closing hours

Careful there. You need to draw a hard line between home time and work time or soon you'll never be off the clock.

>>28138075

Thanks man, I agree fully, it was just too much bullshit for me to handle. A lot of unneeded stress and work. The ticket queue was flooded with tickets but I tried to do and finish as much as I could yet they presumed this was normal. They also expected me to write dozens of pages of detailed documentation on random services used in the company by contacting third-party companies within a short time frame. I was just confused why it was assigned to me and not the others. It really was a case of forcing you to overdeliver for little pay while they sit on their asses on other stuff and try to drown me in work. Was not comfy at all.

>>28105379
I used to sleep in my fucking car and now I'm working a cushy job from home. Truly grateful and definitely took hard work

>>28139102
Your alone time is work, dumbass. Get friends for when you're actually not supposed to work. You'll be paying your own bills either way. 2D>3D, and you can see their nips. And even if you prefer 3DPD, you can look at their nips too.

Fuck you, give me your job. You don't deserve it.

>>28139102
working in an office is just slavery with a bad chair
the fuck are you talking about cuck?
