NGL I wish I had work to do. I appreciate that this company is willing to pay me for 8 hours of nothing, but fuck it’s boring and if layoffs happen then I’m definitely the first to go
I have times when I feel like I am doing nothing, sometimes for days, but also my higher ups all love me and think I am amazing and all I can think “WTF are my peers doing if I am somehow the best?”
Its like that Office meme where he is getting the award or whatever it is (I have not actually watched The Office really).
One time I got a “promotion” at work. I knew it was coming as I did training etc. A manager comes to me and asks to speak privately. He tells me that 1. Here is your new title and salary 2. He is retiring on Monday (this was a Wednesday).
It took about 9 months to replace him. My only assigned duty in that time was to every 2 weeks go into a backroom, log into about a dozen computers than log out. This was because the computers were backups and after 30 days without logging in they would be kicked off the network.
This was a 10 minute task every 2 weeks. That’s it. It was horrible. I was bored out of my mind. There were several other issues. I literally was going to other people asking “what can I help you with”…
