>>13284475
thats tame very tame. Atleast you can uphold the stupidity like a mirror infront of the customer. Unless you deal with boomers, of course.

I've spent months as a software dev building things only for the whole program to get thrown out because it turned out customers didn't want any of it and the business guys doing requirements gathering were tards.

>Q1 review for the two sales VPs in the office coming up
>"Anon can you put together our quarterly analysis reports"
>"Sure I can have them to you by end of week"
>They think Excel pivot tables and vlookups is like rocket science so they say ok sounds reasonable
>Finish reports in like 3 hours each, make them look very nice / high effort and make sure all the numbers are correct

Lol you deserve it never I say never work harder than you half to. All you have to do is befriend the boss or leads and run with the pack

>>13285887
9 times out of 10 the illusion of being busy is more powerful than actual hard work and results

>>13285917

I'd say imagine not having a weekend, my industry is almost entirely Friday, Saturday, and a bit of Sunday.

>>13285940
>all people are good
are you as far deep in your ass as me?

>>13285679
Yes, like any comfy job you must rely on the incompetence of others to maximize comfort/increase your rate of pay.

At my last job I got paid for 40 hours but was only there about 28 of those. Of those 28 I worked 15 TOPS (got paid to watch Telly and shitpost) with a little work mixed in.

I took a higher paying job since then but if you can get a job where you only actually work a quarter of the time your “rate” goes way up. Try it anon!

Foreign languages (Mandarin and French)

>>13285887
If you couldn't recognise that you were being exploited, you only have yourself to blame.
Let them rot and carry on with your life.

>>13285967
no if 1 guy makes the rest look bad the others will subvert him by complaining to the mangers and lowkey bad talking to poison the well
