I actually took a sick day off for the first time in forever and it feels great. I've been conditioned to not take sick days because of my job but I actually just don't care anymore.
I normally have to work when im sick because no one can normally cover for me but I just really didn't want to this time. And the best part is it lined up with my day off so I got two days off in a row which is nice.
I really want to try and find a new job where I can actually have a weekend instead of two days off in random days of the week. Or the worst is when I have two days off with one day of work in-between it.

>>299593>I'm doing nothing worth talking about hereIt's all about how you spin it. Thats the core skill required in office work: do nothing of worth at all but make it sound like you are doing something. You can talk about what you observed others doing and what you learned about that workplace. Can even bullshit about "soft skills" that you needed to tolerate that insufferable bitch, can easily make that humorous
No.299601
>>299599The problem is that I'm studying a stem degree and the professors who will be grading my report/presentation will expect me to have gained some technical skills or insight into a relevant field. I actually asked my professor and he plainly told me to find a new department to work for or a new internship entirely, which is insanely difficult because of my age and 5+ years of being enrolled for a Bachelor's. I think I get filtered out of application pools pretty quickly, despite having decent grades and work experience. Also I find it extremely hard to bullshit like that. If something is worthless in my eyes, I cannot for the life of me try to spin it in a different way. I guess that's why I ended up in stem in the first place, because at least the problems themselves are somewhat interesting to solve. Whenever I have to interact with business people I want to rope.

Im 23yo and I failed to register for required courses to finish my bachelor degree the second time. I missed the deadline the second time. fuck me fuck me Im such a failure. Im still doing courses that I still need to take but at this rate Im going to have to extend my studies by two semesters. Im in the sixth semester right now and uni starts in a week and I keep trying to force myself to sign up for all the rest of the courses that can still take which is to say find them, because from the fifth semester you have to choose yourself which ones you wanna do. And its so painful, each time distractions come so easy I just really dont wanna do it. I just wanna retry my life I fucked up. All my grades are at rockbottom even if I still passed. I dont even know what I want to specialize in.
I wonder if Ill even be able to finish my bachelor for CS at this rate. sloth is a slow acting poison but I have noone to blame than myself for giving in to the pain and not registering for the courses because its painful and not studying properly even though my future depends on it, not having worked a single hour of my life because I dont know how to find a job.
No.299620
>>299601that sounds pretty painful but Im still envious of you, that youve found a well paying job with homeoffice… even though, if youre freeloading with generalist tasks theyll probably not keep you after the internship. why couldnt you ask the boss to get some stem related tasks anyways?
No.299623
>>299620Yes. For now the situation is acceptable, at least I'm getting paid for doing nothing. I tried bringing this situation up with my boss many times, to no avail. I even tried making suggestions on changing the processes so we don't have to have so many meetings, since everyone who is forced to attend from outside our department thinks they are a waste of time as well (imagine being some factory manager with 15+ years on the job who has to listen to a 27yo succubus on how to do his job properly). All this gets me is deflection and being drowned in meaningless buzzwords. "Oh anon you don't understand we are VERY important. We know better than the boots on the ground people.". When telling her that my work is not relevant for my report she will cope by saying that this is 'real' IT work and how coding jobs are on the decline anyways and she doesn't understand why I should have to do anything technical anyways yada yada. Completely arrogant, knows it better than anyone else, entitled, sickening. I could probably stay on afterwards if I get into my bosses good graces but I'll be glad to be out of here, in all honesty. Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather work a real job than continue having to deal with this foid and her nonsense.

>>299623not getting any real expirience will end up hurting you down the line. I think this was a big problem when people got laid off of big companies when musk took over twitter. I remember reading something like the job ruined the careers of people because they were just freeloading.

>>299625'Relearn' was just a short-hand term. I honestly hadn't written a single line of code in nearly a decade, and when I came back to it I remembered how to do it fairly quickly, a bit like riding a bike I guess. That's not to say that the education I received at the time was top-of-the-line or anything, in fact the technical college I went to shut down a couple years after I graduated.

No.299635
>>299624I know that. I think long term you just start to rot in such a position anyways. Most people need some amount of mental stimulation to get through their day.
>>299628That is probably true. I worked in a different company before and my boss was constantly in meetings, he always told me he never gets any actual work done because he's just perpetually in calls. There's too much bureaucracy and such once the companies reach a certain size.

When customers ask really weird questions I just say "I just work here" and that normally shuts them up.
No.299639
>>299638>"I just work here"I've been hearing people use this more and more over the years, and I'm pleasantly surprised at how well this works. It's funny how normalfags will, to this day, assume that when they walk into some fast food or retail chain that every employee will be fully knowledgeable about every aspect of the business, despite turn-over rates for these kinds of jobs being insanely high for decades. However, when a customer asks a question and the employee responds with "I just work here" it snaps the customer back into reality and the matter is almost instantly dropped. Admittedly, I'm often afraid to use this one myself as I always worry that the customer will complain to the manager, who will then nag me for the next 15 minutes, and I just don't want to be hassled.

>>299639nota but I had to lead a bs meeting last week and someone from another site called it out as such. Said it was a waste of time and how he can't understand why we have to bother with this. I told him that I get what he's saying but that I'm just doing my job. Kinda made the situation a little less miserable.
No.299642
>>299641I'm guilty of doing that too, but simply saying "I'm just doing my job" makes it sound like you're avoiding responsibility and offloading it on whoever put you up to leading that meeting. If you don't mind a bit of acting and drama, you can say something like "but Joe, it is absolutely CRITICAL that we establish [whatever the point of the meeing is]" in an obviously overly enthusiastic way. Some people in the meeting might even go along with the bullshit, for the laughs.
No.299643
>>299642Yeah but honestly I can't bring it over myself. I know what I'm doing is pointless time wasting, if I pretend it isn't (even for laughs) I think something inside me would die. Especially since I've tried telling my boss that these meetings are pointless.

>>299639Well it helps to be the manager I guess. In saying that when I mean by customer questions, I’m happy to answer their work related inquiries, I mean like when customers ask strange/inappropriate questions or ones that are out of my control/scope such as when customers ask me to compare burgers from different companies that I have no idea about or the usual “Why aren’t there more staff on?” The other day customers were complaining about the carpark and how it was designed like as if I was the one who designed and built it. Or when customers complain about the prices and think that by leaving and not purchasing food they’re making a stand like I honestly do not care I get paid either way. One time I got asked if there are any events going on in the area and I don't know I dont live here I just commute and work here.

>useful worker bee egoI can't just shut off my brain and go numb on a whim. I enter the workplace with an impotent hatred that I will waste another day with this sharade.

Not sure if I should open a new thread for this but has anyone worked or is working as a data entry person. I feel like it would be a pretty cushy job because it's something you can do from home and you're just entering data into documents.
Judging by google it doesn't look like it gets paid that well but it seems enough. Im guessing it would be tedious and boring doing that for hours but like I don't think I've ever worked a job where I'm like you know what I just love working here and waking up everyday to work here so yeah.

Surely at some point they would've released that if someone wasn't interested the first five times you've called them, call number six probably isn't going to change their mind.

No.299772
>>299771They employ a bunch of desperate job seeker at low wages and give them a quota of customers they have to obtain. People who fail to meet the quota are punished with methods from salary deduction to public humiliation in front of the office while they always try to gaslight you about how rich you can get if you successfully bring in a lot of customers. Probably won't fly with first world labor laws but that's how every 3rd world country do it. The people calling you multiple times are either poor performing salesmen who are desperate or new recruits just going through their contacts list. Oh, they also have a calling quota which is how many people you have to call in one day regardless of success. I quit after just one day lol so this info might not be accurate but this is what I infer from observing how they work. Obviously it differs by companies.

>>299738I have done it and I didn't find the targets to be difficult at all.
It is unbelievably tedious though. Even if you're a good daydreamer it gets to you eventually. I never understood people who wanted a challenge at work until I worked in data entry.
No.299783
>>299738I do data entry but it's on site in a warehouse. I enter the addresses and product weights for things being dispatched onto a computer and then they are printed out by the warehouse workers and put on the picked items for dispatch.
It's basically a scam job; the boss is a sucker for having kept me around for three years. On days that I'm off the guys in the warehouse just put the data in themselves. He would get a lot more value if he just hired another labourer, and had the warehouse workers put the data in as things get picked. There'd be less mistakes this way too. But I'll be damned if I lose my easy job.
It's not ideal at all though because I have no skills to take to another job if I get made redundant.
