Who would have thought that a bunch of computer smarties would figure out how to do their boomer jobs in a fraction of the time?

Btw anons, it might be smart to generate IP while things are slow for you. Side projects at work make you shine and when you automate or build something that makes your coworkers/leadership’s lives easier you set yourself above. Personally I make powerBI dashboards and mentor new hires. I make the new hires actually do all the work for my dashboards.
Ahhhh even when I am exceeding expectations I’m not even doing shit. This is the life.
