You are right though. I should try to find something. Hopefully I make it from crypto and don’t need a job but in the meantime I should push to find something I enjoy. Or can at least tolerate.

Bro you’re probably going to get fired. I think your approach indicates you don’t want to be there regardless. My European colleagues told me they take “career breaks” over there as the norm. Maybe consider that.

I work 2 split 4 hour shifts with 3 hours break in between the first and the second shift. Is this better or worse?

Can confirm. I once worked evenings at wm as a 2nd job for 3 weeks for a little extra money. I was polite to all the managers and they were unperturbed when i politely quit on the spot. Invited me to come back any time.

WM was the easiest job I've ever had. I still get a little nostalgic every time i use the self checkout

PM is PM regardless of context. You'd just need a security clearance and learn about DoD funding streams. Defense is comfy though, but sucks not being able to talk to anyone about your work.

I have been slaving/saving away and hopefully will be done in less than 10 years. I get comfort knowing I am basically unfireable and immune to layoffs at this point since there is so many more people to trim before they get to me.

I don't get people who get bored with not working. I never have enough time to do what I want.

Extended work week. Overtime at standard rate. Some contracts require that every hour worked is paid out. Usually give myself a 10% -15% salary bump with this.

Ah I see, ofc. Good for you, sounds cushy. Do happen to be EE or ME? Also if you don't mind me asking, what steps did you take throughout university to qualify for an interview at this firm, presuming it was straight out of uni then working your way up the ladder? And if not straight out of uni, what sort of lateral job-hops did you take to get there?
Thanks for your first response.

I’m the same way. I have so much stuff I enjoy doing outside of work that I could easily keep myself entertained and motivated indefinitely without being a wage slave. I’ve debated going full austerity mode to investmaxx.
