There was unironically a female on a forum I used to post on who would constantly try to refer to her Excel skills in a casual way like it was this massive achievement that she was competent with it. You just know she got promoted over like 5 guys who knew it just as good or better than her aswell. Jfc women have it so easy.

>>52517647
Imagine being 90-105 IQ. What's challenging to them is what is obvious to anyone with an IQ of 110+. So they learn a few tricks that help them tackle a few projects (see: they learn hotkeys that help with formatting) and get congratulated. Now that they have the reward mechanism and the feedback loop, they seek it more and more.

Now couple that with being mildly attractive and a having bubbly personality. Most of corporate America are bitter, jaded, fat, and uninteresting. So Ms. Bubblegum getting excited over formatting really triggers a circuit in her bosses brain, one that hasn't been activated in over a decade. Ms. Bubblegum is the golden dew in a sea gray corporate sludge. "Here's your promotion you adorable retard. You made me smile in this Hellhole."

And now it's confirmed to their feeble minds: 'I'm fucking smart as Hell!' So they post on tik-tok about how great they are, and everyone on there agrees, because they want to cum down her dumbass giraffe-phenotype throat.

Its insane how little ppl know about basic excel stuff and they have no willingness to learn
Made for an easy summer for me

>>52515896
They have excel courses in college.
I was in college and mandatory was an excel class.
It costs 3,500 and we covered only things I already knew in excel.

>learn to excel
Having excel skills is unironically better than knowing how to do almost anything.
People that are excel bosses are incredibly productive and valuable.
If you don't realize this, you've guaranteed never done anything at all with high volumes.

>>52517759
I remember learning hot keys in 6th grade playing Age of Empires.
Where some people get interested in computers in elementary school, people like OP’s roastie don’t actually sit down in front of a computer to get something done until they’re in the workplace (the year or two of college is spend getting wasted and banged).
So you have to have a little bit of understanding when you see a mid 30’s woman bragging about some basic excel function. To her, it’s just as magical as learning hot keys was to me in 6th grade.

>>52516305

i get paid $40/hour to press enter repeatedly because we havent figured out how to automate this shit government billing that gets stalled every weekly billing

among other things. one stuff i set up auto hotkey and just leave it for half hour since it's literally thar braindead repetitive. until some idiot at work was asking fucking IT for help using it and ruined it for everyone (no thirdparty programs allowed for security as if autohotkey wasnt what microsoft uses in windows itself)

>>52517904

Now everyone will see you as the Excel genius and dump Excel tasks on you on top of your normal workload.

Instead she should've pretend to work on it for the next day or 2 without actually doing any actual work.

>Instead she should've pretend to work on it for the next day or 2 without actually doing any actual work.
I've been on /biz/ quite awhile and in real business much longer.
Is this a meme?
And do wagies really?
It's no wonder they are all poor.

Despite popular opinion, being more productive does get you raises and does advance your career.
I pay a lot of people between $14 and $16 an hour that spend lots of time doing nothing.
The ones that turn the nothing time into productive tasks get raises and never get let go.

It's like it's a meme, but I think people are serious.
I have one girl that has been at $14/h for 3-4 years.
And another that moved from $14-$16 within a year.

I get not working your ass off for someone else, but realize it has consequences and your life is far worse because of it.

My first internship I finished all my work way before they thought so they handed me this stack of like 1000 business cards and had me manually enter them into this data system. I twas fucking HELL. I spend like 6 hours of the day just entering data from business cards for 3 weeks.

>>52518073

Fug, I'm a devops engineer, what are you getting me to do this for anyway? Fuck it I'll just take severance and get a new job.

Also, obligatory excel video

https://youtu.be/ICp2-EUKQAI

>>52514865
looking at this i initially asumed that the boss meant to go through the document and correct errors where the wrong client is at the wrong account or some dates are inputted in the wrong format or something, you know real human work requirements

but no apparently there are jobs out there that get paid good wages to use excel automated functions
how do companies survive like this

>>52518514
try working in a big environment where you boss changes every year and some fag you never seen before actually makes the raise/firing decisions
you are a total fool to excel there as the only way up is to either lie about your previous role to a new company until they buy it or the suck someone elses high up cock enough
but no matter how productive you are in todays economy nobody is above being fired for a new outsourced higher at significant lower wagies

>>52518624
>but no apparently there are jobs out there that get paid good wages to use excel automated functions
because that's not their job. their job is to analyze business/financial data. excel is a tool that makes their life easier. it's like me saying that there are jobs out there that get paid good wages to use python standard library functions. well, yeah, but it's just a tool. they're paid to use that tool to do much more important things.

>>52518514
>being more productive does get you raises and does advance your career.
>t. an actual boss
This is an actual boss talking.
People in management don't realize, but their point-of-view can be considered deluded compared to the real world.
pic related

The person in the office who does 80% of the work isn't the one who gets their career the furthest, rather it's actually the one who jumps to a new company every 3 years with a much higher pay.
The raise given by bosses for "being a hard worker" is barely anything compared to the salary increase of a different offer with a higher position.
Meanwhile, every "hard worker" I've known that has all the workload dumped on them is still in the same position years later, usually not even promoted, because they're indispensable in that position.
>The ones that turn the nothing time into productive tasks get raises and never get let go.
>never get let go.
Yeah and that is why they're gonna be there forever and not actually advance their career.

>>52518514
i'm an accountant. at my last job i turned an 8 hour process into a 20 minute process with some clever excel formulas and basic VBA. this also vastly reduced the number of errors in the process, due to less human intervention.

i also fixed and improved a lot of BI reports to provide better/more valuable/more accurate data. i understood our cash posting system (~$100M/month in collections) better than anyone else in accounting. there were a lot of things that i did better than anyone else in the company. i was denied a promotion for the second year in a row and given a 3% raise. i have decent social skills. i'm not an autistic sperg or an unlikable dipshit, like you may be thinking.

i ended up quitting for a 30% raise, a title promotion, and 100% remote at another company. the moral of the story is that hard work means fuck all in most jobs, because shekelstein doesn't care.

>>52518670
I would say it is possible to advance in some companies, but not through actually doing more work, but through taking more credit for everything without the people who actually did the work challenging you.

>>52518670
>The raise given by bosses for "being a hard worker" is barely anything compared to the salary increase of a different offer with a higher position.

also consider that promotional raises are fuck all, and you're expected to be a high performer from day 1. if i had been promoted at my old job >>52518703 it would have been a 10-15% raise max. this is pretty standard at most companies. i hopped for a 30% raise and the standard for my first 6 months were pretty low.

there's a reason why people who job hop every few years earn considerably more money over their waging career than people who wage at the same place for decades.

It's called having a mercenary attitude.You go into company see how they leverage their tech stack and add it to your tool box. Steal the source code as reference material and move to another company with a 30% increase in wage. Rinse and repeat.

>>52518670
Not sure if you are implying that I'm not an actual boss?
I have 15 employees. Up to $30/h but I'm in a very rural area.

Yes, you can move away from all your friends and family and get more money. kek
I think most of your guys' problem is not communicating to the boss that you have improved things.
Showing a "manager" of course gets you nowhere.
But someone cares about the bottom line. The owner. You gotta work on communicating that work and showing the results.
The boss is very busy. You have to tell him about it.

>>52516305
Unfathomably based

>>52518764

>Yes, you can move away from all your friends and family and get more money

I did exactly that And so did most of my friends, and I'm from a rural area. It's a brain drain effect I suppose.

I don't want to be doing some "dunking" thing, but my last employer had 15,000 employees, at that scale things are much different, you get internal power struggles between directors, politics on a much different level. You'll never meet your "boss" (which in a public company are your bondholders, shareholders, etc)

It's just a different environment and can get you jaded.

You make valid points, but my experience differs

>>52518764
how big is your company?
once you exceed a certain size there is no 'owner' and nobody that cares about the 'bottom' line, the ownership and stewardship structure is so delude that nobody controls it and everyone with real decision capacity just cheeses the numbers so he can get the bonus long term profits or survival be damned
most of modern corporate guidance can be summarized by the board/execs scamming the shareholders while whipping the middle managers to exploit the actual wagies

God I can’t even imagine the level of onions that men who work as a spreadsheet dolly like these women do, your hands must be soft and estrogen features all over you

>>52518885
>>52518853
Wild idea.
And I understand you'd make less money. But ever consider finding a small private firm and making a real difference?
Small business is one of the only things standing in the way of total globohomo.
I don't make that much considering my revenues (working on it). I could easily make more by waging because I'm high end. Currently anyway.
But I (delusionally or not) as in a war.
I need help anons.

I am a good person and happy to spread the spoils.

>>52518947
>But I (delusionally or not) as in a war.
*see myself as in a war

>>52518885
I'd actually say at public companies the top employees have more skin in the game because their comp is mostly stock. At private companies, yeah you can have shitty compensation structures and no one gives a fuck about the company in the end beyond how it affects them.

>>52518904
i used to do hard, physical labor in a factory. working with your hands, unless it's for your own benefit, is retarded.

>>52518947
anon we are on biz to escape the cage not to make our own even more demanding cage
starting up a new small firm is terrible work to reward ratio and even with the 2021 bullrun being as shit as it was there is now nothing in the realm of labour that i can do that will make enough of a dent in my stack to matter for the effort involved
i did my time in big corp to get my initial investment and i am never going back to that

>>52518973
yes but thats only for the short term, they are actually incentivized to goose the numbers to their unsustainable max right at the point their bonus is unlocked for free trading and the gains from this are far in excess from staying on and getting next years wage, so again the short term optimization long term be damned i referred to earlier

There is literally no situation where this happen and you haven't royally fucked up simply by being there.

>Haven't gotten to it yet
>Repeat until it's Friday morning

>Uh, no not yet.
>"Okay, have it ready by the time the meeting starts."
>O-okay, I will
>Can't import it into Python

>>52519041
It's actually fun and rewarding building your own business.
Far more than "trading" and "making money."
You feel smart briefly after a profitable trade, but it's pretty hollow compared to actually building something.
Someone needs your help and you could great things.
Nex time you see a company you like, think has a legit good product, and is privately owned, at least consider you could join in.

But you aren't really the person I'm talking to. I'm talking to people in a corporate job they hate, but are talented, and have another 20 years of that bullshit to look forward to.
Make a leap and build something. Someone needs your expertise. A real person needs your help and you can actually make a difference in the world.
All "yous" are generalized. I hate saying "one could..."

For instance. I do 3 million in revenue but I do ALL even remotely technical things myself.
I can't afford to pay $120,000 of course.
But I know someone that makes $120,000 year and is talented enough to do so could probably take me to 10 million in a few short years given the expertise and freeing up my time.
Make a deal.
Wagies, at almost every level, lack this one thing. They don't know how to make a deal.

>>52514865
>deleting empty rows is a potentially daunting task for this analyst that likely makes nearly a 6 figure salary

>>52520544
To be less verbose.
A guy like me with a very big upside could be convinced to give up a portion of the business on a performance basis.
Write up a contract.
I'd pay 50k a year and profit share based on results or even give up a percentage.
But of course I can't do that on speculation. Hence the lower salary and contract.
Make a deal and FUCK these corporations.

>>52520634

I'd do that, but I made enough money of speculation the last years I've been tempted to stay my own small business, ignoring the %90 fall rate.

Best to you, and to me I hope.

A lot of that fail rate is probably people who make an LLC, do absolutely nothing with it and then just stop renewing it.

She found all blanks in one column of her table, then deleted all those lines. Not only is this basic, it's dangerously neglectful.
What if there was important data in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th column of a row with a blank 1st cell?

She should've copied the blanks out and backed them up, but instead she mindlessly deleted them all.

This is true, but also every single high position boomer job equates to manually doing dumb shit like this. I got fired from my first job because when I came into office I saw all the dumb shit they were doing and just made a bunch of VB scripts that automated it away. They'd come to me asking why the fuck I wasn't doing work and I'd show them I already did the entire week's work in a single fucking day. I told them I could just give them my scripts and they can do it themselves too. We were a small section of a larger company so I assume they realized if all their shit is automated away then the company literally has no need for the 30 employees in that office. I was let go because my state doesn't require any reason to fire anyone.

Learned my lesson from that shit and just keep my scripts to myself. Genuinely thought I was going to help them out and increase efficiency by automating their retarded shit away. But tuns out they prefer spending hours manually entering data and never utilizing a single formula in their cells. Now that I'm "work from home" my entire gig is literally checking morning emails for dumb shit and letting my scripts run the rest of the day. I know promotions and raises aren't realistic so why would I bother doing anything more than that?
