The cloudy weather, slight tiredness, lack of work for me to do, many people on holiday from work, and lack of meetings gives me the impression that there's no way anyone else is doing work.

>another guy was hired to do a very similar job to me

Anon I....

My current place of work (very well known UK company) is currently having a large scale redundancy consultation which is dragging on and on and on and will continue to do so for months. I want to leave anyway so I'm basically doing almost nothing, just enough to 'keep the lights on' in my role as it were, and getting paid fully for it for at least another few months. I think I'll be offered to keep my role as I'm being pooled with a spastic no one likes and a girl on Mat leave who likely won't come back anyway. When I am offered it I will simply ask for a new job title and a pay rise to reflect the fact my role has gone three into one and they want the same output. If they refuse I'll simply leave.

get a wfh without a leash and it's true freedom. I get due dates for weeks ahead on my tasks. no monitoring just that all tasks need to be completed on time. I finish tasks for the week in 1 day. 4 days off paid. some weeks it takes 2 days if there's a lot but most of the times it's 1 day.

I want to introduce running and stretching to my schedule somehow.

I honestly think is better than fully remote because it's safer and more sustainable. When you're fully remote management always worries that you're not doing shit, but if they see you working it gives them comfort and they can attach a face to someone before doing a layoff.

I have 3 WFH and 2 in office days, and I honestly don't mind the in-office days too much because it actually forces me to work instead of just jerking off and playing vidya all day. If I were fully WFH, I'd be too self-indulgent to the point where I get fired whereas with hybrid I can save all my work for in-office days too look busy.

enjoy it while it lasts faggot, dark skies ahead for wfh

>>60795729
this is me really
go in twice/three times and actually work and then do fuck all at home and it's great they all think I'm amazing

>>60795741
I had it for a while and now it’s gone. It makes me sad. But I think things will get better again and not worse

If you consooom slopflix or play gaymes ( while still getting paid for your bullshit job)
instead of actually doing something useful (setting up a business, trading shitcoins, learning new frameworks) - then you‘re simply not gonna make it

Im a remote scrum meme project manager and unfortunately I don‘t have the luxury of several hours of down time since I have to sit for hours with some boomer upper managers in meetings and discuss/edit useless confluence pages, wikis that noone‘s gonna read anyway - still I try to squeeze some personal project work in here and there

I work from car, is that any better?

>>60795577 (OP)
I hear ya. I have actually 0 meetings on my calendar today. My fiancee gave me killer head before bed last night. Gonna be an awesome day wfh wagie bros. Gonna work on my channel, write, get the house cleaned up, and start the weekend...now

>>60795634
>I finish tasks for the week in 1 day
What kind of job is that?

I guess WFH isn't truly a neet, but aren't you neets afraid of what happens when mommy and daddy cut you off? They need to retire one day

>>60795729
my current job and my previous job both implemented outsourcing after implementing 3 day RTO. it's not safer in any way. some retard asshole executive 6 levels above you wants to cut head cost in your department and your boss's boss is given a number to hit. being in 100% in office or remote doesn't help one bit.

>>60795729
Eh, the reason they allow me to work hybrid and come in late is because they trust me when I work remote.
>>60795979
I have a NEET uncle in his late 50s. He has been a NEET since his early 30s. My grandma (his mom) recently died. Grandpa died quite young, decades ago. The other uncles and aunts are fine with him squatting on grandma's house. They even bring him food occasionally, otherwise he only eats eggs and bread. He is clinically depressed and lives on government assistance.
I wonder what he does all day. Is he just constantly high on meds or something? He is oldschool and doesn't even have a computer. He got a smartphone only around 2020.
Anyway, short answer is that NEETs are at the mercy (and stupidity) of their siblings. NEETbux is never enough to live alone, unless you live in Norway or something.

>>60795634
Okay, I'll bite. What kind of job? What skills? Is the pay even worth it? I make almost 200k, but it's a demanding and stressful job. Still, I'd consider a pay cut for a wfh job, as long as I could still make at least 100k.

>>60796322
Nothing. I speak from experience. Your uncle does nothing. And its the best thing ever.

>>60795594
Ordinarily would be cause for concern but these bloated corporations are so disorganized that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing and they just make decisions without any rhyme or reason and with no thought put into it at all or any form of planning.

>>60796805
Working for a big company, I was ten years a NEET, my resume is pure shit, yet I got a job immediately after one week of job hunting. I even offered them to pay me the minimum just to get my foot into the door, but they refused and pay me like a regular worker kek.

The skilled worker shortage is real.

Thanks, boomers.

>>60797042
When I worked in office, the obligation to look busy and not be on my phone while I had no work to do for days on end drove me insane. I would rope if I had to go back to it.

Every thread I reply to immediately dies. Im kms

>>60795577 (OP)
I hate my wagie job they keep giving me shit to do.

I've been dragging my feet through it but it fucking sucks.

What can I do? If I tell them I don't want towon't they just fire me

49k€ gross p.a. Thats an excellent wage for someone who was ten years out of work in this place.

>>60797422
>p.a
what does that mean?

>>60797425
Per year.

>>60797469
kk so

it's not a bad salary for a euro and being a neet

what is your plan to increase it?

>>60797740
Saving shittons of money and putting it into an index fund. There arent any opportunities to get into higher ranks, I just have kind of a highschool degree and accomplished an apprenticeship. Wrong thread for that, just wanted to say that larger companies offer better pay, because HR and job interviewers do not communicate with each other about applicants. The larger the company, the more chaotic and lazy.

>>guy next to me makes comically loud sipping noises whenever he has his coffee (multiple cups every day)
>>"SSSIIIIIPPPP.... AHHHH"
Kek, I do the same, but not when I'm around strangers.
It enhances the experience of sipping considerably. Just try it a few time, you will never sip without noise again.

I have a WFH job where I work maybe 16 hours a week yet I still can't stand it and it's soul crushing. Should I save up 100k a quit? Even though I dont have that much actual work I still have 2 hours of meetings a day

For me, the litmust test is being able to securely jack off while "on the clock"

I interviewed for a role recently that was technically on site but got to the second interview and the guy said that most of the guys are remote and he doesn’t care as long as you get the work done. Needless to say I wanted that job.

Yesterday I got the generic email from the HR bimbo “we have decided not to move forward at this time blah blah blah” so I replied with an image of myself flipping her off and then I signed her phone number up for a bunch of political text message spam and health insurance offers.

>>60797042
All wfh did was show 60% of the workforce does not actually do anything. Its the people who can just get it all done in a few days keeping the daycares afloat

I need to do some learning bruvs, what would be a solid field to learn?

>Ordinarily would be cause for concern but these bloated corporations are so disorganized that the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing and they just make decisions without any rhyme or reason and with no thought put into it at all or any form of planning.
That's for fucking sure. Don't even think about trying to shove any of their fuck ups either. That will only cause more issues and it will be your problem.
I have concluded that the corporation is a scam so that everyone working in one can make money, the government gets taxes, and they run on a Ponzi stock scheme. They are impossibly unprofitable. We live in a fake economy.
The CEO is not the problem. Every single employee of a corporation is just as much to blame.

>>60797275
>won't they just fire me
They may promote you or find someone else who costs less energy for them.

>>60802286
You can do this at literally any job.

>>60795729
I refused a high paying job because it wasn't full remote

>>60798992
