All of these "I do nothing at my $200,000 job haha" posts are basically like that kid back in school who would get 100% on a test and then claim he never studied a single second, meanwhile in reality he studied for 200 hours for the test, but he wants to make everyone think he did it effortlessly because for some weird social reason people do this thing where they want to make others think their life is effortless and easy and that they do nothing but still receive value, we live in this new world where normalfags LARP about how little they do for all the results they get.


Why are people so ashamed to admit they actually put effort into anything? What happened to hard work and effort being praised? It seems like hard work and effort only gets mocked now, and everyone is trying to make everyone else think they do nothing and yet have everything.

What the actual fuck happened to people

You 4channers aren't any different, you all do the same bragging about 0 effort + high income thing that all normalfags do as well, as with other shit in life.

I fucking hate this shit. I dont want to be part of a society that does this stupid shit. Just fucking admit you put effort into your job and that if you didn't you'd be fired pretty fucking quickly.

This. I work in tech. For every 1 person who works 2 hours a week and gets paid $200k, there's thousands of others who actually put in their 40 hours, maybe more, and actually earn their pay. The people doing 2 hours of work took years to get there, are usually senior people, or have a complex body of knowledge that takes a combination of brains and time to acquire.

I was the kid who bragged about never studying after acing a test, and guess what, I actually never did study. I don't think I was alone. High school and undergrad aren't actually that difficult.

The actual comeuppance came in grad school, where I ended up failing out because the classes didn't cover anywhere near all of the material and I didn't have the study habits needed to get through all of the supplemental reading while taking meticulous notes every week. But that still didn't stop me from eventually being an upper-middle class WFH wagie who really only does maybe 10 hours of real work a week.

Im a lawyer, there is enough work for me to work 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year, and id still never be finished.

What the fuck kind of jobs do you have where you can literally "do nothing"

There is always something to do.

Now my dad worked as a HVAC and he also had enough work to work 7 days a week year round, and he could earn as much money as he was willing to work.

I am taking personal experience from my own white collar job as a solicitor and my dads blue collar trade as a HVAC.

During covid I worked basically 7 days a week and earned pre-tax $1.1M in 2020 and $1.3M in 2021, working 7 days a week, taking on more and more cases.

My dad back in the 2000s even during the recession was earning $300k+ annually pre-tax as a HVAC working 6-7 days a week.


But all of this requires actually fucking working, all fucking day, there is no pretending to work, if you're not working youre not getting anything done and therefore youre not getting through work to move onto the next case or installation.

You faggots sitting on your computer all day pretending to work are seriously in for a fucking reality check sooner or later if you're actually being truthful about "DINDU NUFFIN AND GOT PAID LOL" jobs, I fail to see how that is going to be sustainable for you in the long-term, especially if you ever have to get a job that requires you put in WORK.

While you are a well paid slave and a damn good one and hard worker I value my time.

Yes this is 100% non sustainable, but it allows me to educate myself and read. Currently just buying silver and waiting for property to fall enough to buy something and start a small farm. I have spent several years learning everything I can on the subject because I worked jobs that didn’t pay well but allowed me alot of free time.

Time my man is more valuable than money and that 1.1million although juicy is literally one year of your life where you could have learned something if you do choose.

That said you made it my man and are a good hard working man. I just want a farm in the middle of nowhere to just enjoy the limited priceless time that I really want to use the way I want to not the way my job would want me to which is me giving them my limited time which is honestly low in pay but gives me free time.

I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Having an on-site office presence is foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. It's in our DNA. Sure, there is no one size fits all or silver bullet. Remote is only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Being on-site, however, allows us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.

I think if you all start spending more time in the office again, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize! I think given that we've been remote for so long it's easy to forget the benefits of working in the office.

What's the root cause of the hatred of corporate office spaces? Putting my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these are fictional spaces, and real office spaces allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.

I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of having more office presence and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.

So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle. Remember, our north star hasn't changed. We're still championing our core values remotely and we will only do it better in person.

If you need me, I will be online again in a bit.

Lawyers do nothing. They have to study hard at first. After that, they rake in the money for doing nothing. All knowledge they need can be reduced to books on a shelf.
The only upkeep they have to do is reading new, notable cases (case law). That's it.
Compare that to working in tech which is almost completely different every 4 years. Books are outdated in just 2. Nobody even reads books anymore, all their knowledge has to be gained from internet documentation.

Because people recognise that their role, no matter where it is on the corporate ladder or what field it's in, is utterly meaningless and the higher-ups think of you as completely disposable. Putting in effort is just kissing your boss's ass so he can maybe kick you a couple extra crumbs later.
