My job is so pointless and boring. I know I'll look back on a day like this with nostalgia but it seems so mundane right now.

After work yesterday I played vidya for around 3 hours and completed a game, then went walking for 45 minutes, then went jogging for a short time before regretting it. At least I didn't eat junk food.

Wish I had a WFH job, unfortunately I have no skills so the only one I could get is a call centre job and I refuse to stoop that low.

>unsure whether I'll do any work during the next 3 hours or what I'll do after work
Man I know this feeling. I have a gay "hybrid remote" job, so my attitude is torn between:
>Do my actual work when they trust me enough to let me work remote, slack off in the office
>Do my actual work in the office to pass the time, and slack off at home

I was in a similar situation.

Eventually the company finds out that they're paying you to do nothing (it took my company about 6 months to figure this out), and then you get immediately fired.

Do you guys use separate computers for work and for personal use?

I have heard of company antivirus, mouse-tracking software, and even webcam eye-tracking software being used for WFH.

[Anonymous No.55659629]

>>55659604
At the office, yes. They do in fact have all the company spyware, including stuff that lets them view your screen at any time. They must be very confused if they look at my screen and see that I only have outlook and teams open and just sitting on the screen. I bring a laptop to work and do my actual work on there, but most of the time I'm not even working on it I'm just posting on here or something

At home I just use my own computer, I won't use any of their installed software on it and besides, my setup is nicer than anything the company provides

Your company allows you to use your own setup without the spyware, but that's not the same for all. Not everyone gets leeway in staying out of the company's policies.

I am setting up my life to start applying and sending CVs, and this is one of the factors I'm considering what to do about. I have an old laptop for web browsing; and a brand new computer, which I'd use for WFH. I am trying to figure out what is the best setup to have separated work stuff with work spyware, from my own stuff. I thought of having different hard drives for work and for personal use. Idk how intrusive work spyware can get, I have even thought of having separate hard drives and physically connecting / disconnecting them for each work session

This is the mantra of poverty. Every poorfag I've ever met has a list of problems a mile long that always boils down to
>I refuse to stoop that low
You stay at home all day stimulating your laughable penis while oogling digital images of overweight women while you and your mom are getting evicted, but you won't find work because you think somehow THAT is below your dignity.

It may be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but every single one of you despicable poorfags is going to Hell.

Thanks!
Windows 10 by itself is gigapozzed, and having to add new spyware on top, it makes me not even want to do any personal stuff there lol.
Well, I guess I'll figure it out as I go. I can always just use my old laptop, or a usb stick with a linux distro for personal files.

It's kind of shitty thinking about installing spyware on my computer, but I can't let that stop me from achieving wfh Chad status. These bills are not going to get paid on their own

As for all of us. The faggots like OP boasting about about sleeping and gaming all day during work hours are just larping leeches who never held a work in their lives and don't know how WFH actually is.

Uh I think it depends on your job. I'm the only "tech" person at my office, so no one including the people who hired me really understand what kind of work goes into what they ask me to make happen.

When I'm in the office I do try to look busy, but if I'm at home, I can pretty much just waste the day and no one would ever know because I get my work done ahead of schedule.

Yeah salary and fixed wage per hour/year/whatever sucks ass in Florida, idk exactly why but assume it has something to do with boomers and rednecks. Managers are psychos here too. Florida's great if you spend 0 time commuting and aren't required to be somewhere for X hours per day. I think I've had the same $50 worth of gas in my car for the last 2 months because I only go to Publix and the beach. Idk what you mean by what do i commission if it's how much I earn the answer is 100-200k depending on year if its waht do I actually do its lease negotiation for billboards.
