I will drink some coffee In bed all morning and eventually get on the computer, just to open 4chan instead of work. I’ll probly get 2 hours in, about 30 mins at a time is all I can muster

>getting prepared is a huge pain this morning because Zeus is fucking around with the weather again
>finally get everything ready with a few minutes to spare

>still feeling tired and clumsy and stiff, really feel like skipping because I don't want to injure myself
This sucks bro, never sign up for "training" via Teams or zoom or any other virtual setting.

I have four straight hours of meetings this afternoon, frens, and two of them require the camera be turned on.

>>28292404
just quit bro

We just moved all our meetings to phone calls instead of video calls because I pretended to not be able to use the software for the past 7 months. Now I have to make up some stuff about things I "worked on"

>>28292812
>because I pretended to not be able to use the software for the past 7 months.
You're doing god's work anon, never give up.

>>28291440
>wake up at 1030 p.m. put uniform on. drive to work. sit there for 8 hours watching anime/browsing /biz/, faggit, and other bullshit websites. drive home. take uniform off. be naked. play world of warships/watch anime/browse /biz/, faggit, and other bullshit websites for 4-5 hours, go to sleep, repeat.

>>28292404
>two of them require the camera be turned on
What kind of gay shit is this? Unless I'm talking, I just turn off the camera.

>intercom are trying to fuck us and putting our bill up to like 700 USD next month
>need to find an alternative service for our retention/marketing emails
>gonna have to rewrite the integration that sends all the user attributes and events
>supposed to be researching alternative providers now
>been playing Dyson Sphere Program instead

Procrastinating because I can't be fucked with these sort of integrations. They're not particularly demanding but they're fussy and usually involve coordinating with other team members way too much to get them finalised.

>>28291440
>working on some finnicky fucking data builder that uses undocumented mystery tools and vague requirements

>>28291440
>get highest ratings in annual review
>denied a promotion despite highest ratings
>boss says we might get a shit raise/bonus because of chink flu
>company plans on making us go back to the wage cage once vaccines roll out

yup i'm doing the bare minimum until i find a 100% remote job with a 15-20% pay raise, at which point i will quit with minimal notice at maximum inconvenience.

>wake up 9am
>turn on thinkpad
>go back to sleep 12pm
>have 2 hour lunch
>reply to emails for 5 minutes
>spend rest of day scrolling through /biz/ and playing bloons
>kept this up for nearly a year, been into the office once

>did all my work in the first 2 hours this morning

>send occasional message on Teams to look busy

Comfy

>get woken up by my 2 year old asking for breakfast
>check my overnight crypto gains
>"work" 2 days a week in the office
>spend the rest of my days with my kid doing dad shit while "working from home"
>making more from crpyto and stocks than my job this year

Being a day trading dad is unironically the best job ever

damn you guys work from home and wake up so late
> wake up at 5am
> do workout with wife
> make /comfy/ breakfast (eggs, fruit, leftover pancake from weekend, coffee)
> walk dogs
> go on webex
> play games, or study
> wait for meeting
> play POE during meeting as I typically don't talk as they know im getting shit done from jira tickets
> make cappuccino at 4, eat whatever wife baked (cookies and macaroons this week)
> make dinner

It only gets fucked when I actually need to go into the office.

>>28294178
that warms my heart, anon

Good morning! I'm about to toast myself a bagel and hand-grind my coffee before a comfy morning meeting. Then I'll play a video game or something while waiting for my code reviews and pretend to be busy working hard for the rest of the day. Hope everyone has a great and relaxing day

>>28294178
I want this, I can't wait to have kids getting married this year and I just wanna make them help me make food cause that shit is precious

>Wake up at 7:50, sit down at my computer at 8:00 to begin "working".
>Respond to a few emails that I couldn't get to yesterday because I was "too busy".
>Start making breakfast, have some orange juice and eggs with toast and a bowl of strawberries. Remember how years ago I would stuff my mouth with a shitty granola bar while sitting in bumper to bumper traffic.
>Sit back at my computer and answer a few help desk tickets. Finish doing that in like 20 minutes and that's basically all the work I do all day.
>Spend the rest of the day napping, swing trading stocks, watching YouTube videos, playing video games, maybe of I'm feeling productive I will study for another IT certification.
>4:00pm come, maybe do one or two more tickets and answer a few Teams messages.
> Boss messages me and asks me his I'm doing, thanks me for working so hard.

>>28294452
> hand grind my coffee
what grinder senpai?

>>28294556
Hario Skerton. I used to brew with an Aeropress but lately I also got a V60 and I like it a lot for my daily cup.

>>28291440
>start wigglemouse.ahk
If anyone is wondering about anti-screensavers, I found out that if you open windows media player and play any file on loop and on mute your computer won't go to sleep. Should work for getting past any IT monitoring software.

>>28294707
I like that grinder, my friend suggested I get a helor 101 since i go from french press to espresso. I like it although it is pricey but man I can't imagine buying pre ground coffee anymore. I still need to get a V60 tho my daily cuppa is french press or chemex.

>>28294768
lol i play 24 hours of black screen videos on youtube or download caffeine

>>28294768
I mean you can also just set your power settings to not sleep....

To any anons wanting a simple "look at me im working ma" script I'd suggest just running puppeteer with an infinite loop of a click on headless.

>Wake up at 8:45
>Login to begin work
>Shower, have breakfast etc.
>9:45 check emails, nothing urgent, line up days work so it looks like I'm doing stuff
>Relax for a few hours

>Lunchtime, sleep for an hour
>Then spend half an hour actually having lunch
>Do actual work for a few hours in the afternoon
>Log off bang on 5
>Getting a bonus and a pay rise next month

>yesterday team meeting to discuss EOY productivity metrics
>im getting a bonus for most billable time of any employee
WFH is the fucking tits.

>>28294975
aah true cause it is a vulnerability. WFH means BYOC for my company so I can bypass it that way.

>>28294888
my work laptop requires admin password to change any little setting including the sleep and screen saver. I can't download application type files that would wiggle my mouse either. I just don't worry about it and get work that needs to be done, done and let my screen go off 90% of the day. no one complains

>>28294768
Oh I will try this next. If I don't wiggle my mouse now and then, the remote desktop locks and goes to a wallpaper and need to sign back in. Skype also goes to "Away" which makes it too obvious I'm offline. Even if you put your status at "Busy" first, it switches to "Away".

>>28295080
Can you download / do you have nodejs or python installed? you could make a simple selenium script or install puppeteer and make something that way. Otherwise you can make a powershell / bash script (if using linux or mac) that probably does something to keep your stuff permanently online.

This is the most comfy thread on biz. I’m wearing a mask in an office for 40hrs a week and it’s causing acne on my cheek. There are plastic dividers, almost like doors, between desks. The intercom plays an automated guided stretching routine twice a day (for ergonomic gibs probably). This is what I got an engineering degree for. Cherish your wfh lives anons.
Did all of you study computer science or something? I don’t want another degree but I’ll gladly take online courses & build projects if it gets me out of this career.

>>28291440
Dude. How do you think your boss would feel if he knew you did this? This is unbelievable.Do you not have any moral compass?

>>28291440
>'working' 7 til 7
Nothing good about 12 hour shifts mate.

>>28295318
You can't do your engineering stuff at home? Or it's like welding PCB plates or something? What are you engineering?

>>28295265
I'm not a super computer literate chad. I wouldn't want to mess with anything anyway. I handle sensitive data and I'm more afraid of getting caught trying to fuck the system than I am getting caught working smarter, not harder.

>>28295059
haha based.
this is such a comfy thread bros. It's just the lads slacking off but still doing more work than half of their co-workers. I love WFH. I was considering quitting because of how crushing it felt to go into the office everyday, sit through traffic, do nothing but watch my life slip away. It's all so beautiful now

>>28295446
My workday is 8 hours. I just LARP to work in a timeframe of 12 hours so I have 4 hours of plausible deniability of not doing anything.

>>28295367
Personally my boss is getting away with even more outrageous stuff than me, at least I'm not "working" from Aspen.

>>28295568

Same for other anons

this. I personally know the 3rd highest employee of my company. He has recently discovered hard seltzer. He can't send an email without a drink in the other hand.

>>28295882
now seems like a good time to throw money into various shitcoins. I just pick whatever most rich anons have in their portfolio threads and don't do any research. It's a little retarded but I don't put in more than I can afford to lose.

>>28295767
Whats your current stack anon?
I was stupid and out a huge chunk of mine into SHIB so now I'm holding those bags until something happens. Its boring.

>>28295882

Saw a thread the other day about a guy who got a 7k bank loan he used on crypto and whether or not he should pay it off now or wait for more gains

>>28295882
>>28296087
I really wish I wasn't such a pussy about crypto in the past. I fucking had savings collecting dust and was even looking into shit to buy after the COVID crash but just didn't want to risk losing anything. Oh well, at least I have a peak comfy WFH gig where I don't even need to turn on my work computer.

>>28295100
get one of those laptop cooling pads with the fans. put a piece of paper ontop of it. put your mouse ontop of that. the paper will move slightly pretty constantly triggering your mouse.

>>28296417
HOLY SHIT. PRIMATIVE HACKING EXTREME

bros I did literally no work this week. I log into my remote pc and have 4chan on one side and my work pc on the other so it never goes offline (movemouse.exe)
Some weeks are better than others and I do produce occasionally but this is getting me really stressed. Been like this since last march. I don't like it at all. I'm losing motivation to be productive the longer it goes on.
At least I'm not binge drinking anymore I guess.
Just need to make 10 million dollars and I can retire.

>>28296465
works best with a gaming mouse set to maximum sensitivity.

>>28294806
The Helor looks interesting but I have no complaints about the Hario and it's affordable, so I'm not sure what more it offers besides stronger materials.
For brewing I'd probably go with a moka pot for my third method just because I like to make café au lait when I have croissants in the morning, and I was never able to get the Aeropress to produce a strong enough brew at the desired quantity.

>>28294707
i want to buy an aeropress, any issues with it?

Feels good to be a gangster

it's very uncomfy today as my furnace is breaking for the 3rd time this winter

That's what I do every day, minus the cleaning part cuz nobody comes at my place anyway so I can live in a dumpster. I'm 30% into making it so I quit my job already, kek

>>28291440
That's how you get a heart attack before 40. Go workout.

>>28295458
I studied mechanical, but I’ve been stuck doing manufacturing engineering (aerospace) since I graduated 3 years ago. In other words, I’ve missed the opportunity for entry level design work, which would be a lot more suitable for remote work. I’m attempting to abandon engineering entirely at this point and pivot into software/IT/finance jobs. Everyone makes more money than me and all they need is a laptop.

>>28296947
I just realised this is a WFH thread, sorry anons

Does being a defi farmer and trader once in a while count as work?

How the fuck do you guys find jobs where you have to do practically nothing all day? I do customs clearance for a major package delivery company where I'm expected to rate anywhere between 100 and 200 shipments a day, which pretty much is back-to-back work. Fuck me.

>>28296657
It's alright but I feel like it is hard to get a consistent brew with it. I tried varying brewing parameters but most of the time the bottom of my cup would be acidic, apparently some people like acidic coffee but I find it disgusting. I still used it daily for a year+ and liked it well enough but since I got my V60 and set my grind size appropriately to make a good cup with it I use it almost exclusively.
An Aeropress is cheap so worth a try anyway if you're interested.

>>28291440
I’m on a similar routine.
It’s hell.
Yesterday, I actually worked, and I felt better

Haha you probably have study showing why eating icecream daily reduces stress therefore makes you live longer. Your heart is a muscle. Just sleeping and sitting will literally give you an early heart attack.

I hope all you WFH losers are ready to lose your jobs to outsourcing, we just got started replacing them all at my firm.

>>28297249
imma pick one up. normal brewed espresso makes my skin crawl, but my coworker made me some from an aeropress and it was great. gonna pick up some costarica and kenya coffee too. thanks anon
this is the best thread in a long time

>>28298705
why? imagine having a good amount of worth in crypto and taking a loan with 2 percent/per year interest rate. you pay your monthly duties with a credit and the worth growing crypto asset overcompensates the 2 percent yearly easy. everything above is just free money. its like collateral lending. wheres the problem with that?

well, lads. I just have my only meeting for the day. I said one or two sentences. Time to gamble my wage and shitpost the rest of the day.

>>28297633
I’d just get a job doing something else. I paid off my student loans, really just need to pay off my mortgage right now and I’d only have like $600 a month in expenses and taxes to worry about for the rest of my life.

>>28297200
A lot of us are software engineers. Since our bosses believe the work we do is complex, it’s very easy to spend 20 minutes on a task and then say it took us all day and no one questions it.

>>28300748
well its not some forever bagholding. cashing out the amount of interest and loan at the end of the time can already be a realized gain after a simple 2x. everything more coming in, is just profit. not doing this, is the insane site of the argument

>>28296417

There's rarely any actual work to be done and I'm getting paid more than everyone else to do significantly less. I was bummed at first to have to sleep during the day but once I realized how great I had it I've been happy ever since. Now, if the government would somehow let me do this shit from home, that would be ideal. But it will never happen.

>>28301494

to add on this, even then my results are stellar. i wonder what the fuck other people do when i see how insufficient their output is. either they're totally retarded or they do absolute fuck all

Wigglemouse script didn’t work for me, so I wrote a script which just turns the volume up a notch and back down every 10 seconds. Keeps my MS teams setting as available and doesn’t log me out

>>28291440
Based. I've basically optimized a similar system. Its been great as all this extra free time I've been able to clear my book and anime backlogs, hoping to move onto my vidya backlog sometime this year as well. Love being able to browse /biz/ and manage my stock and crypto trades 24/7 as well. Saved a fuck ton of money with travel expenses and other bullshit, I do not miss the daily commute at all.

How is it any different than lolcows?
Also I have a mid year chat today, send help.

All this talk we’ve been having actually does have me a little worried though. Our jobs are so easy, what’s to stop us from being outsourced? Previously working in offices at least you had a presence, and meetings are simpler. Now that you can be remote, why won’t our employers just pay someone in India 75% less to get the same amount of work done?

>>28303103
hopefully they'll realize that cheap labor eventually costs more because indians are not efficient.

>>28303103
Because Indians are incompetent and incapable of any kind of problem solving. If you have monkey work where you just tell them what to do that's fine, but if there's anything that requires creative thinking they cannot do it.

>>28303284
Neither are we though

>>28303103
Offshoring or automation is inevitable, WFH or not. Fuck the company and I'll do as little as possible for as much money as possible until they get rid of me.

what '''''jobs'''''' do you all do

As long as boomers are still working in management, they will never sell us out to indian poo programmers. My manager is an old racist white guy who only hires people who are light skinned. We have a chinese lady, a slovak, a cuban, an italian, an iraqi girl, any many whites. all light skinned versions. So we are "diverse" but NO POOS allowed

Boomers will eventually get laid off by upper management. I spent the last 30 minutes talking with my coworkers about our job security and they all agreed we’re fucked and are going to have a really hard time finding jobs if we’re ever laid off

Based E-comm bros.

I work for an E-commerce company. It's essentially paid training to start my own E-comm business one day. My main teammate and I are essentially using our time with the company to test out E-commerce strategies for when we want to go our own way. I've been receiving profit sharing, bonuses, and a 30% raise all in the past 4 months, and have been working 2 hours a day since March.

based thread. i'm currently setting up some automated scripts that take multiple hours to complete so i just run them in various configurations on multiple computers and browse my phone until they are done.

I did this last year, kek

In February and March I made two small bank loans, around 4k each. The bad thing was that my country's dumb laws only allowed me to make 5 year old loans, so I have to pay 20% per year. The good thing is that I caught the DeFi train and my 8k (plus some 4-5k that I invested from my salary) became around 350k at today's price, and now I only need a x5 to make it, kek. This should be easy to do in this bullmarket

But taking a loan right now is significantly riskier, so I would maybe take a smaller loan and definitely not something with 20% per year interest. 2-3% should be fine if you don't borrow more than 5-10k, and if you diversify the money into at least 5-10 alts so you don't lose too much if one crashes

A word of advice: this bullrun is defi based, so look for undervalued defi tokens, maybe farm something, stake, etc. so you can make some extra gains besides just holding the coins. For example I'm making around 5-10% per month by farming XIO on uniswap, and another 2.5% per month by posting twitter comments and on their forum.

For me? It's the auto send feature, getting my work done in 2 hours and sending the results at different times after 4 pm

there's honestly nothing worth watching but anime. There is ZERO coming out of the west. Even most anime they make is garbage, but there'll be one or two worth watching each year. A lot of great anime from the golden age yet.
Other than anime basically the only thing i can watch without puking is TCM. Snuffbox is good. Some adult swim shows that are older than 10 years.

>>28307073

thank you finally someone. its in since october around 10 k. already 2.3x'ed. 50%btc, 25%eth, 25%polka/adamixed. the loan is interestfree for 2021 and 1q/2022. then it accumulated 8.5k with 3%yearly interest. so the credit is just used to sustain my life and so that i not have to liquidate my assets. plan is to hold to oct, nov 2021, after hodling one year, liquidation is not capital taxed. taxfree. i take profits in running bullmarket and payback the loan 2q/2022 and enjoy the profits. tell me this is good

Developer for a horribly mismanaged gov department. We were working on a software project last year but one of our supervisors abruptly decided to give it to an outside vendor for no reason and because it was more important for us to be doing nothing instead. They were given 6 figures of taxpayer money to copy and paste my code and make a pretty front end. This was over a year ago and I've had nothing really to do since. My boss has occasionally asked me to do stuff lately but he's so overworked he forgets what I'm supposed to be doing and sometimes will tell me to spend the week doing something I already did a month ago.

The key is finding a job where you know how to do something that nobody else in the company knows how to do and the subject is too difficult/time-consuming for anyone to learn. You'll have longevity in doing this if you deliver something really useful every once in a while. I'm a software engineer and I assume most others in the thread are as well.

>>28307338
Kinda hard to tell. We're supposed to keep our mouths shut about politics while we're at work but a lot of us voted libertarian and will continue to do so. Leadership is full of libtards and talking to openly about your beliefs can get them pissy at you

A little late but I work for the federal government. It was cushy before, but now that it's all WFH because half the the workforce is elderly and half of the remainder is obese/diabetic/atrisk it's even better. I do basically nothing most days. When I do "work", it's to attend meetings or answer easy emails.

I have been on /wfh/ for a year now and I have to say I think its bluepilled compared to unemployment chads. My roommate has been on unemployment all year and he makes close to what I do with all these extra gibs, he doesn't have to do any work at all, whereas I have to do a solid 1-2 hours daily, and he gets to travel around and do whatever the fuck he wants while I'm stuck at home.

I hate to say it boys, but the magic of wfh has worn off on me. I wish I would just get fired already so I can be an unemployed chad instead of a virgin wfh. Anyone else know these feels?

Last year I working in the office that same 55+ hour weeks with a 45 minute commute each way and I was not a supervisor or handed out work

I make 40% more now WFH...

Holy shit a lot of middle management/boomer managers in their 60s and 70s retired. Tons of upward movement. My old manager x2'd his salary as well (just being good with computers/being able to fill a roll of someone who did all paperwork by hand still). He's still learning the ropes but it's ridiculous

Having people shadow is a meme with a virtual computer/remote screenshare. Literally just watch them on a monitor in our works VOIP/cisco derpy voice program thats a ghetto Discord and use push to talk

>>28315645
None. None of the payouts are any good and it’s really easy for us to catch you and when we do you get sent to big boy jail for a long time.
Basically only actual niggers do it. There are far more lucrative industries to scam out there with far higher payouts. Insurance is so used to getting scammed we know all the tricks at this point.

WFH made me realise that my job demands about one hour a day's work, tops.

And to think I spent all that time sitting in an office from 9-5 all those years.

Feels like this is the end of the golden age of WFH. Companies will become so obsessed with lost productivity that they'll require hourly status reports and hire people to randomly contact you to discuss what you've been doing the last 30 minutes, and correlate it with corporate spyware.

>>28304423
How do you start getting into e-commerce ? What qualifications are required?

>>28316751
Yes, for sure on that corporate spyware.
None of these scripts used for keeping the computer awake will work in the future.

>>28316751

My current setup is

>Gaming rig that runs a VM that remotes into the docked work laptop
>3 Screens (1 being work screen)
>Stretch the window and use my gaming rig to have any program I need on the VM
>Invisible to tech dudes
>Teams only gets used on shitbox Thinkpad

The only issue is my copy / paste doesnt work.

Honestly, I wouldn't go back to wfh if offered. I get super anxiety about not getting shit done at home, way easier to slack off in the office.

So that means all people itt could be fired because you don't do anything anyway. It's just your company that is being stupid enough not to realize this.

Pretty much in the same situation except instead of being denied a promotion, my boss has been dangling it over my head for over 6 months now, keeps occasionally telling me how he considers me a senior and expects me to be held to a higher standard but those gosh darn upper management just keep dragging their feet on his request for my promotion.
