Almost a 3 day weekend edition... (In USA at least)
Thread for those of us who actually work in tech to tell workplace stories, complain about coworkers and management, share advice on how to progress in careers, and discuss the technologies we use at our cagies.
Just got a new remote job doing backend. Give me your best tips for slacking off
Adrian Moore
pad the time it takes you to clear your tickets and don't do more than 4 hours of actual work on any given day, congrats now you're putting in the same amount of effort as just about every other professional software engineer
Connor Nguyen
overestimate the time to solve your tasks, do them quickly, don't tell managers when you have finished
Ian Brown
How long does it take to hear back from Amazon, or other FAANG companies after the final interview? Amazon's site says 5 business days, and it's beginning to get close to that. It's hard to not slack off at my current job until I have an answer
Jacob Cooper
i'm so sick of sitting in a fucking chair do any of your friends have a job on easy mode?
James Jackson
Get an AC???
Benjamin Green
>Just got a new remote job doing backend. Give me your best tips for slacking off Improve efficiency. Most tasks are like 3x less work than your colleagues and management thinks they actually are. It's important to say that they still take that time, but you'll just be faster kek
Alexander Richardson
How little actual work can you get away with doing like this? There's gotta be some minimum amount they're expecting you to do right?

Last friday I was so hungover all day I couldn't get out of bed, didn't even turn my pc on. Nobody realized
Jose Young
I’m IT Manager at a small company so I’m in charge of everything. I go in 3 days a week and do actual work then do nothing except some emails on my 2 days at home. My bosses don’t understand anything but I keep the company running so they’re happy
Angel Nelson
Yep, pretty sure last week either monday or friday I just called into standup, said I was working on my tickets and didn't actually do anything else work related at all, nobody noticed. As long as you clear your stuff quick enough not to raise suspicion (which is longer than you think it is) and respond to DMs you'll be fine
Ethan Fisher
I'm 23. When do I get my drive for life back?

Jose Peterson

Parker Jenkins
Don't have enough money for any of that.

if you're working in tech and doing things right you're gonna get there soon enough
Nolan Cook
I fucking hate the corp/enterprise IT world. I am living my dream and doing the things I love, but I hate the users, hate the management, hate the customers. I'd rather just work the tickets and never know who is requesting them. I don't want to listen to their fucking complaints at every weekly meeting and regurgitate the same shit we told them the week prior. I miss when I was a junior admin.
