I’ve entered Office Space-mode at this point. I fuck around all day, I’m on my phone constantly, I leave early and take long lunches. I just don’t give a fuck anymore. Been doing this for 6 months and I’m still getting praised for my performance. Shows you how retarded my coworkers are. I need a new career path entirely. IT bro’s help me out, I hate manufacturing/engineering I want a cozy remote job

>>20522657
>Think it gets better if I get an bachelor in Electrical Engineering
>Still fucking hate working, but slightly less
God damn it, how do normies do this forever.
>>20522723
>IT bro’s help me out, I hate manufacturing/engineering I want a cozy remote job
Haha kek you are literally me.
I've been looking at web dev courses myself.

>>20522723
Whaddya do now specifically in manufacturing/engineering that could translate to IT?

6 hours until 22:00 UTC. Maybe you’ll have a nice surprise at the end of your shift, OP.

>spend all day waiting to get home
>spend all night not enjoying anything because I work again tomorrow
>drink too much on the weekends

>>20522723
In the same boat.
Bros free me. I'm a mechanical engineer I want to work from home.

>>20522760
I did mechanical. Years of complicated courses. Now I stamp and edit fucked up documents that my coworkers create
>>20522763
Nothing really, outside of soft skills (technical writing, communication bullshit, technical aptitude). I’m just looking for entry level stuff because what I’ve researched seems interesting. My IT friends love it and make more than me and are even dumber than I am. There is such an obvious pay ceiling in my current field.

>>20522898
Dude we got fucking tricked into BSME. It’s fucking boomer work with a bullshit pay cap unless you work for fucking BP/Chevron/Lockheed. Software friends are nearing 6 figures right out of school. I regret everything.

>>20522898
Systems engineer here I could work from home but the CEO is stuck in the 80’s

>>20522723
I do this but since I'm a IT guy I also just do all my work in the morning and then sleep all day because I stay up til like 2 AM every night playing videogames

>>20522895
Gotta find a hobby anon. I want to shoot myself while I’m at work but once I leave I can distract myself with things I enjoy. Except on Sunday afternoons. The dread of Monday is too much to ignore.

>working from home for past 6 months
>get laid off from analyst job
>getting a severance
>havent really done anything for work in the last 3 months except basic duty, spent 90% of my time fucking around
>every job I apply to i dont have the required special 3 years of experience
>even though i almost have an mba and ran a bank's budget for 2 years
>dont even want to work anymore this corona virus downtime has sapped my will to slave for a company

Guys i really need crypto to take off so i can pay off my house and become a farmer

>>20522902
I feel you
>job started out exciting, testing, building stuff
>4 years later all I do is write manuals and edit documents written by ESL coworkers

>>20523014
The 3 years experience is bullshit anon. Apply no matter what and harass them for an interview.

>>20522902
Yeah I'm just doing bullshit baby CAD work and reviewing CAD work. Nothing I couldn't do at the comfort of my own home. I've been doing this for a few years just for experience,but the experience is shit. At this point I know my actual engineering skills are degrading enough that idk how to move onto a different job.

>>20522657
I do business logistics, inventory control, and purchasing for a pretty small place. I fucking sit at my computer all day outside of the rare occasion they need me to go check a part out from vendors. They all think I’m a genius because I’m really good at excel and do all the financial reporting for the company. I literally fuck around on biz for 50% of the day, and they think I’m really a big asset to the company.

>>20522895
this but I don't drink. I just play vidya, watch waifu stuff and shitpost.

>>20523047
>At this point I know my actual engineering skills are degrading enough that idk how to move onto a different job.
Yep. This is why I want to leave the field entirely. 2 years stuck doing mindless work has me way behind others. I would rather start as entry level in a different field that actually has room for growth and a culture not full of boomers and pajeets

>>20522723
IT isn’t any better, the exact same praise is given to me while I fuck around at home. Kek

>>20523043
I do, I even spend 20 to 30 minutes writing emails to the HR rep about why I'm a good fit. I know everything about commercial banking and I have some underwriting experience but these faggots dont even answer half the time.

I'm so tired of the hr nazel gazing

>>20522723
I switched from meme engineer to IT Tech. I'm completely unsupervised and most of the work is field work. I have been day-trading in tje mornings, then spending about 3 hours around lunch time at home just chilling. In between work orders I get all my shopping and errands done on the clock.

>>20523126
you're working from home, that's already much better.

>>20523014
>need crypto to take off so i can pay off my house and become a farmer
same
>>20522996
same
>>20523047
>At this point I know my actual engineering skills are degrading enough that idk how to move onto a different job
same

>>20523132
How exactly did you make that switch? Please help brother. You are living my dream.

God imagine hating your job so much and not being a software engineer chad

>>20523100
I work in the IT department of a fortune 100 company and it's LITERALLY all boomers and pajeets. And sometimes boomer pajeets. I am literally the only white man under 40 at my site.

In some ways I dislike WFH because I don't get free shit from the office, but it's nice to only spend 2 hours working per day.

>>20522895
christ that hurts. just replace the mcwagie hat with any other hat or uniform and its over.

>>20523132
Please come back and show us the way

Analyst guy who was complaining earlier.

Anyone have experience with building websites for people? I'm thinking about learning to do that and creating a small business out of it.

>>20523401

Buy a lot HMHC and hold as it goes up for the next few months due to schools starting up, buy now since a big dip just happened

>>20523132
I work as a DoD civilian so I got my previous job to pay for my Security+ so o could be IAT level 2 certified. Then just bullshat a resume for an IT Tech job, also with the military. I believe connections and luck were also factors.

>>20523476
I don’t know how to deal with this existential dread since my father died and the last time I talked about it with my wife she couldn’t bear it

>>20522657
>be me
>show up to work late
>play cookie clicker for 30 minutes
>browse 4chan for another 30 minutes
>taking a nice long shit currently
>still haven’t gotten anything done today

>>20524312
Does anybody seriously work any harder than 2-3 hours a day at most?

>>20524080
>DoD civilian
>work
lol

Almost half way Midwest bros. Let's enjoy this lunch

>>20524388
I have my spurts of productivity but, I’m with guys that are 4 years younger than me. My original manager quit and I’m stuck with moons that are above me only because they have a year or two more at the company. They’re retarded.

Example
>new “manager” calls me in
>goes over project and what I’m doing
>explain
>goes quiet for about 10 seconds and stares at me
>”Hello?”
>starts explaining nonsense
>”it’s been great chatting manager, I got work to do and this conversation isn’t productive, why don’t we talk later this week”
>stand up and leave
>”ANON COME BACK TO MY OFFICE NOW”
>”No? You can’t tell me what to do, get back to work manager”
>”GET BACK HERE ANON NOW OR YOURE FIRED”
>”not your company, you don’t have any power to do that, bye”
>”ANON”

Next day, he apologized and I told him I’m not his bitch and to never talk to me like that or it won’t end up well with him. Ever since then he’s careful what he says around me.

>>20524392
Exactly.

I spend literally less than 1 hour per week doing actual meaningful work.

>>20524701
Sounds like you need to be transfered to the BASED department

>>20522657
you can do it wagie i believe in you

>tfw lamenting for times I spent working maintenance at the county parks as a teenager
That job was menial but fulfilling

Wfh is based. My plans for this 40 hour work week are to watch Battlestar Galactica. IT is a godsend

>>20525091
Hire me pls

>>20524808
This week I might quit for another job. We will see.

>>20525262

>>20522902
Look into IT Audit. The work isn't sexy but you can enjoy immensely comfy WFH routine.

>>20522809
pee pee poo poo

>>20524929
im 29 now, but sometimes i miss the innocence of being a summer intern. not having to worry about anything, people excited you're in school and doing big things. i'd just sit and scan shit all day and listen to podcasts then come home to my parents who made me dinner.

>>20525262
OH NO NO NO

Just finished up my fap break

>>20525262
kek

>>20522898
>tfw ME degree and have been working from home since before corona

Have you tried being autistic and scaring your coworkers but still doing good work so they don't want to outright fire you?

>>20524701

Damn bro i laughed a lot.
I do maximum 2 hours work the rest is doing nothing. I yearn for more power in the office but they dont give me so i procrastinate and sabotage any inprovement they want to do.

Also i talk mad shit about people i dont like specially normies
