Comment on How do I get one of those jobs where I send an email and then go to a meeting then draft an email then leave work and get paid $98,000/Year and have a badge on a little cord that says senior deputy analytics coordinator supervisor of marketing and sales?

Oh boyyy I had a boss a few summers ago that was like this. He was more suited to English and Medieval history and would go in depth about the topics he was passionate about.

He may have admitted to me that he was holding the job down to make his parents happy. In one afternoon he seemed to be genuinely intrigued to learn what solid state storage looked like, which baffles me since he had a Masters in Information Technology.

Most people didn’t really like him due to his poor social skills, but he was at least not “that kind of boss” that actively tried to fire anyone. More so, he was slightly at risk of it himself, since it was heard through the grapevine that his previous supervisor wanted him “fired for incompetence” but he ended up getting the job through sheer workplace turnover.
