>can't land 1 single interview because companies don't want to train during this pandemic
>accept Amazon warehouse job that starts in two weeks

I'm going to h-hear back from an engineering job soon, r-right bros?

>>20135451
Another day to earn more money to buy more VRA

Based

>>20137147
>7 months since graduating

y-yeah anon, plenty of time left ...

>anon what did you do this weekend
>Haha.. (make up some plan because I spent the whole weekend getting drunk watching anime alone)

>>20135596
'bout the same experience, but I take one day of the week to go full blast caffeine maniac and put in all the work I neglected.

>>20135451
>he didn't tail hedge during the GREATEST MARKET CRASH OF ALL TIME for massive profits so he doesn't have to work a day in his life ever again

based

>>20135451
Birthday this weekend so calling in Friday and maybe Thursday

>>20135596
Same here kek. Protip you can get an app on your phone that moves your mouse in set intervals so your laptop never shows you as away.

>>20137147
>Haha hey bro welcome to the Amazon team. Wait a minute, anon is that you? It's me, Stoner Steve. From high school, remember? I'll be training you today. Actually, I manage your department! Let's get ready to work hard today anon. After all, you have a lot of catching up to do.

Unemployment has been extremely comfy. Hope I never have to work again.

>>20137147
>>can't land 1 single interview because companies don't want to train during this pandemic

training while remote is absolute garbage

one of the many reasons I think remote work won't stick around.

>>20137517
He doesn't set mouse sensitivity to 100% and place oscillating fan on max in the same room.
HAHAHA

>>20137518
Sad but true. Went to business school but it did not cure my autism. I do the same job as the hillbillies from high school

>>20137596
Lift weights. Then at least you can be autistic but good looking and strong.

>>20135451
I had iced coffee in my special K in lieu of milk, and rode my bike to work.
I'm feeling fine. Having taken the time on thursday/friday to declutter my shit both in terms of space and life have me feeling just fine.

>>20135451
Working home home, I have a comfy set up office now so it's good.

It won't be till October that I'm back in the office and even that will be maybe one or two days a week

>>20137691
I do lift. But I'm 32. hot girls do not pay attention to me. Got no game.

>>20137278
Hey anon, go into nature or something, and quit drinking so much.

>>20135596
Same. Today I'm gonna move my mouse while watching the Bourne movies the rest of the day

>>20137278
start doing some martial arts, like boxing or kick boxing. In a few months you will feel so much better

>>20137558
>I think remote work won't stick around.
Shut the FUCK UP you fucking piece of shit. Remote work WILL stick around. The people will revolt if they have to literally waste their lives in offices putting on fake corporate personas all day just to do the 1 hour of work they’re actually assigned.

I WILL NEVER GO BACK YOU CANT MAKE ME

>>20137518
I'm a HS dropout and I live in LA, so I doubt this will be a problem.

>>20137559
Better yet, get a ball mouse and strap it to the fan grate. Low tech solution.

>>20135596
this. i dont even do an hour of work anymore desu, everything is set automatically and i just sort of maintain it all.

>>20137278
there isnt even anything to do. everything is closed. this weekend i got in my car and drove down a country highway until it ended and then found a park to vibe at for the day. thats it. fuck corona

>>20135607
>most jobs can be done at home

Imagine being this delucional

>>20137517
>>20137559
>>20138329
Guys, mechanical mouse movers exist.

Don’t install software on your computer that can be discovered. Don’t do some unreliable low tech solution if you’re actually going somewhere far away from your computer. Get a mechanical mover

>enjoy my job

:3

>>20138383
How is this not true?

>>20138419
That anon probably refers to stuff like construction and hospitality, but yes 90%+ of office based jobs have proved they can be done at home

>>20138402
desu i just go away and nobody cares, longest ive pushed it is 3 hours

>>20135596
reminder that any job that can be done at home can be outsourced to pajeets for a quarter of your wage

>>20137842
I can't anon. Those 10 hours totally drunk watching anime are the best thing in the whole week. Itsy especial moment. Nothing matters, just my beers, my shows and me.
I'm not even depressed. I'm just tired of everything.
Last time I went to the mountain I was flying my drone and some rural cops fined me. You can't do shit here.
>>20137937
Everything is closed. Especially martial arts/mma gyms. And again, I enjoy getting drunk, I feel like shit the rest of the week so I can't really go to the gym anymore.

>>20138484
I think every country will focus on domestic growth because of the rape of the economy, so I don't think outsourcing will be a threat.
Maybe I'm wishfully thinking

https://www.amazon.com/Liberty-Mouse-Mover-Blue-Black/dp/B07P6HBD1N?th=1
> If you work at home, your company-issued computer likely includes mouse movement-tracking software like Microsoft Lync / Teams. When you leave your desk, your computer starts to count down the seconds. After a few minutes, the Microsoft app alerts your boss that you are not working.

>The Liberty Mouse Mover simulates mouse motion. There is no need to install any software, or insert in any memory stick into your computer. The Liberty Mouse Mover is completely independent of your work-issued computer, meaning that over-zealous IT departments can't track its use. You simply place your computer mouse on the rotating platform. Your computer senses that your mouse is moving, and your boss thinks you are hard at work. You stop worrying and start enjoying the flexibility of working from home.

>>20138518
I hope you're right anon, since I'm full time remote now too. I dont have any faith in my company putting my well being over an opportunity to cut their payroll though

>>20138634
Just make yourself known to the big boys without being a brown nose anon.
First to go are the literal who's

>>20138484

not really, pajeets fuck everything up. just because it only takes someone 1 hour to do their work, doesn't mean anyone else could just waltz right in and do it too. the work that i do that only takes me 1 hour would have taken me at least 4 hours when i first stareted. and it took years to get to the point where i can do it quickly AND CORRECTLY which is the biggest sticking point with hiring pajeet replacements. like i said, they'll fuck everything up while acting like they did it all correctly.

>>20135451
>no holiday until Labor Day

>>20138587
Still need to setup that webcam loop. The next step is figuring out how to "reply" when HR asks you a stupid question just to see if you're actually there.

>>20135607
It has proven that most cashier jobs at the supermarket can be done fine by a self service machine.

>Work on a construction site
It's as if Covid-19 never hit, work wise

>>20135451
for me the realization is sunday night around 8pm

>>20137353
kek i do the same, though am no longer working remotely sadly my employer won't allow it

>>20138484
Any company I know that had fully outsourced has ended up fucking it up and either reversing it or scaling it back

>tfw company has given us all an extra day off for being good goys with our remote working

>>20137774
>Never Knows Best
It's a mimi kind of thing... a dreamy kind of thing...

>>20135451
Gm

>>20135451
Nope
Stem was never lucrative , it was a lie made up by big tech.

>>20138666
This more than anything.

All management will see is "Huh this only takes this white man an hour to do. Lets outsource it and hire 2 pajeets for half the cost that way itll be done twice as fast" Until they realize that the pajeets are completely incompetent

>>20138942
The only problem left is when you're buying heavy things that can't fit on the scale at the end. It asks you to skip each time and eventually locks up and makes you wait for someone, but this scenario doesn't happen very often.

>>20139540
The idea is now you only need one assistant to replace 4+ cashiers.

>>20139655
+1 or more mechanic to repair the self checkout if they go rogue

>>20135596
Same, and since the government is paying our salaries I'm basically just being paid as a retainer since there is very little work for me to do now. I've worked from home for all but a month or so of 2020, thank you based chinks I bow to this virus and hope it kills many more.

>>20137517
Been using one for years

>>20139437
STOP

>>20138587
wouldn't it detect that you're never clicking?

She'll never come back, even if she did she's probably fucked other dudes so I wouldn't want her if she did come back.

>>20140038
pathetic

>>20139957
The "away" status on a laptop is usually only triggered by complete inactivity.

So either clicking or moving the cursor will keep you active.

The home working thing is crazy, I cannot believe we're actually being paid to sit at home. I've seen so many threads were people would do anything to get to work from home,and now it's a reality.

If your an office fag that is hehehehe

>wake up at 8:59
>log into laptop
>make sure mouse is within arms length of bed
>commence the jigglin'

>>20139957
One of the reviews said his didn't work, so he jammed a paperclip into the Insert key and that kept his laptop awake.

>>20140038
better invent time travel then

>>20137517
jesus christ, wagecucking normalfags are truly the most bizarre of creatures

>>20139251
Look at what happened to Boeing kek

>>20140194
It's truly the most based shit ever. Last year I was going to kill myself and now I'm self improving and happier than ever. I will do anything in my ability to never wagecuck again. I'll move back in with my parents if I have to.

>>20139757
Pretty much me in a nutshell. Fuck Canada btw

>>20135596
Corona is unironically the best thing that's happened in my life in quite some time

I don't get the opportunity to slack off much at my job even while working remotely, but not commuting or having to engage in bullshit office stuff is the greatest gift I've ever received.

Big thanks to the states seeing an uptick in cases. I almost had to go back to the office today but now with the recent surge the new date is August 1st. Really hoping it gets pushed even farther back

I avoid being 'away' by running a powerpoint presentation. Keeps me green all day baby.

>>20140401
Are you working from home or on some sort of covid welfare?

Doesn't feel good that im getting fatter but sure does feel good rolling over and clocking in from laptop

>>20141117
This

>>20138186
You'll have to take a pay cut, seriously. Would you?

>>20141164
Sure, I'll take a "pay cut" in the form of the company no longer having to pay for my office, parking space, heating and a/c at the office, physical security and all of its premises liability, coffee and other """perks""".

Pay me my salary, bonus, and options and shut the fuck up.

>>20141164
Take a cut on money I would have spent on travel and clothes to look office appropriate? Yeah

>>20137809
You must be short then if you're at least 6"0 and muscular then girls will check you out until you're 50.

>>20141203
You'll take a pay cut for the decreased productivity (evidence: this thread), decreased communication, inability to train new employees while remote, and inability to obtain new skills from colleagues more experienced than you.

>>20141283
Literally all bullshit. I have been more productive working from home, and my output at my company demonstrates that.

I will NEVER work from the office again. And if I'm ordered back, I will look for a company that trusts me enough to give me permanent WFH.

Fuck your office prisons. I do Mr. Shekelberg's slavery just fine from home.

>>20141117
I'm too used to this now. I cant ever see myself going back into the office five times a week. Two maybe three max but heavy lean on two. Company still doesnt know what to do. Working remotely has made it cheap plus its very comfy for even the managers. Right now the excuse is a lot of people use transit so lets just stay home for two more months and reevaluate

>>20140230
imagine not knowing about the cleansing ritual

>>20141337
Same here. I may still answer emails at 7 or 8pm and that never happened. I've gotten more done at work but also am relaxed more at the same time because I dont feel like I'm being watched. I can get 8 hrs of work done in 3 or 4, whereas in the office that 8hrs would stretch over 2 days due to interruptions, not being able to send emails in pointless meetings, etc

The only thing about my office is that we have good sports facilities and a good canteen. I miss the sports and social aspect. There are some nice people too in work but some im glad I don't have to see.

Anyway, for me it's a few days in a few days at home and it appears my company is heading that way to save Costs, so that would be BASEADO

>>20135596

>>20138587
>When you leave your desk, your computer starts to count down the seconds. After a few minutes, the Microsoft app alerts your boss that you are not working.
wtf is this a real thing?

>>20137774
I like you.

>>20138587
Ohhh waaaagiiiiieeeee

>>20141729
It's worse than you think. Some companies have you in a constant call, so they can talk to you through your speakers whenever they want to ask you benign questions and make sure you're "working".

>>20141729
Just for Americans

OY VEY

>>20141246
i am 36 and in pretty damn good shape, was at the beach recently and called weird and asked what i'm even doing there lol. .

tfw live in a state with low rona numbers and forced to be back in the office 40 hrs a week

>>20142020
>was at the beach recently and called weird and asked what i'm even doing there lol
were you approaching 16 year old girls?

Another day, another dollar, am I right?

>>20142076
no, i was all alone and some girls in their mid 20s definitely not 16 sat by me and i overheard them mentioning it often. saying they wanted to see hot guys and its only old guys. i even have abs, am not bald, nor were even looking at them. mfw

>>20135451
>coworker with giant tits quit last week
>no longer have a reason to go into the office
I'm gonna miss those tits.

>>20142164
Fuck those roasties

>>20135451
I quit my job in january, kinda interesting to start with the whole "small business" thing in middle of a global pandemic. The upside is that I have plenty of leisure time I guess.

Hope I can get more business in fall though, need currency to invest.

>forced to go back into the office because Toilberg misses seeing our bright and smiling faces every day
I want to die

>>20135596
Same

>>20138587
You can do this shit with a vbscript for free. You can even time your computer to turn on and turn off via EFI settings and schedule a task w/ Powershell to send emails out for you and more.

>>20135596
>Remote working
>Tracked and monitored work
>Work Eight hours of eight hours
Corona is the worst

>>20142885
what kinda gulag you working at anon

>>20142885
>he doesnt build a script that moves your mouse around and opens emails every so often

>>20138382
>tfw live in flat farm land area and there's not even any good roads to drive
>can't lift
>dogshit dead end IT job
Its literally fucking suffering why live? I have not genuinely enjoyed doing anything in years. I remember being eager to get up in the morning as a kid.

>>20140203
theres a free mac program literally called 'jiggler', I use it daily, keeps me active on slack

>>20139280
same here. everyone got an extra day off + 400 eurobux corona bonus and wfh will likely never end.
this is an amazing timeline, corona is the best thing ever in every aspect kek

>>20137558
The company I work for has decided to rent a WeWork office to train new hires.

>made depressed wage slave thread last Tuesday or so
>have off all week this week
>no plans other than flight lessons
Feels better bros

>>20137147
Electrical engineering? Where do you live?

>tfw still hungover for saturday
>tfw my hangovers last multiple days after a binge
>tfw i need to stop drinking

god damnit.

>>20142067
>tfw live in a state with high Rona numbers and for work for a tech company but management is stuck in the 80s
>best I got was working the second half of the day from home for 2 weeks in April
It was so fucking nice, just having 0 office small talk bullshit to deal with and not having to pretend to work every minute of the day. I am absolutely green with envy with these WFH anons

>>20138484
No I can’t because my job relies on me forming strong personal relationships with people and no one respects or likes some stinking Indian peasant. I’m a lobbyist before you ask, I would love to see a pajeet try it

>>20135596
based, got laid off but found a new job thru corona, don't do shit and get paid 2x what i used to. long live corona. i hope the entire state of florida dies so i can have this job for another two years or so. keep at it, you fucking idiots!

>>20137278
Kek I had to lie because I had a girl over all weekend and everyone else would be butthurt that I didn't respect muh social distunshing

>>20138497
honestly desu get a bicycle. have been riding every weekend and having a blast. esp going to outdoor bars. hit me up if you ever wanna ride - philly

>>20135596
being able to work for an hour and trade options/futures/crypto for the whole day, honestly I though I would have to become financially independent first before I could have lifestyle like that

>>20137842

There are still grown adult males that own hoodies?

>>20138337

What do you do anon?

I'll be honest I do like going into the office sometimes. I also love this WFH thing. If I could WFH Monday and Fridays that would be ideal.

My job is starting to be my career so I actually gotta get good at it and WFH doesn't really allow that.

>>20145712
That pic is very outdatted and no idea why that uploaded, meant to post a pepe

>>20142202
>probably doesn't even know how much her tits meant to you
That makes me very melancholy for some reason.

>>20135451
monday is not the problem my friend...

forget all this motivational bullshit, just try to look this the same way i did 3y ago when i quit my old shitty job to start my own store...

the beginnig was crazy, a lot more brutal than i thought, but i managed (don't ask me how) to get out of that mess, get some early clients, and 3 years later, i have 8 employes, paying all taxes right, and making more money than my last salary...this fucking covid-19 crises is fucking me up a little, but i'm pretty sure that until september i will get back to business as usual...

the first step and the beggining will always be hard, but your happiness and freedom lives on the other side of this, trust me.

wish you the best my friend, you're stronger than you think, trust me, i know!

>>20140203
baste yall

>>20138419
It's all good until you realize it's shit because everyone slacks off after the first month because their all in a super relaxed environment.

wagies please keep wagin, make sure you work extra hard end of july when the bonus unemployment ends, i need a fat stack for august.

>>20145388
short Florida

>>20140843

Man, I am right here with you, This Monday was date that we would be getting back at the office but mail just came few days ago that August 1st. is new date, god bless...

Full paycheck, no matter how much job to do I am doing it in my underwear, sipping monster can (no sugars) and on other monitor playing dragon age. And most important thing, no traveling for 3 hours all together and looking at office idiots...

Seeing as things go even worse, maybe August will be good too...

>>20135596
What do you do? My job requires that I be there in persona and I fucking hate it. A lot of my friends are working from home and I'm fucking jealous

I hate fucking working. Thank god im on corona neetbucks, if they dont extend unemployment im going to riot like the niggers.

I want to die. I called in today because my manager doesn't give a fuck and I'm too depressed to pretend to work for 8 fucking hours while a bunch of retards approach me with retard questions (I'm an engineer in manufacturing). What the fuck do I have to do to get a remote job? Transfer to IT? Software shit? Coding? I don't care what it takes I just can't handle sitting in the same seat for 40 hours a week every week forever. Kill me desu
