  so we can actually see what our friends do all day

  Friend: “So you get paid to spend the day periodically typing on your computers, surrounded by lots of large monitors, and several times a day you have video calls with people where you use so much jargon that the conversation is almost entirely divorced from the English language? You just finished an hour long meeting where I overheard every word from both sides of the conversation, and I have no idea what the hell either of you were talking about.”

  Me: “yes, that about sums it up”

    I think my friends (the ones that aren’t in the same field anyways) would be surprised by how much of my time is sitting around doing shit that a junior should be doing instead of more important engineering-type stuff

    “so you just got paid $100 to sit around and watch an intermittently frozen software program for a couple hours and clicking a button every now and then, while answering questions you’ve answered two or three times before in your message history with this person, and sat in on three meetings that you didn’t even need to speak during, and you have absolutely no work product to show for the past two hours of your time yet?”

    “yep. I’m gonna blow my brains out if this continues”

    DevOps?

      Niche IT project work actually, but lots of overlap with DevOps type skills/situations.

  Hell no. We need a 4day work week so that we can just go and hang out with our friends AND still make enough money to make ends meet.

  One of my earlier jobs, security guard, only 1 dude on the assignment out of the whole crew wasn’t a friend from school that I still regularly hung out with.

  And, coincidentally, that 1 dude who wasn’t my friend, was the same asshole who tried to get me fired on my first day at a previous job for his own fuck-up. Nobody likes him at that first job, and the tradition continued at the security job.

    … Does it pay well?

    source

    • janus2@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Pretty well! Accounting for prep time (makeup, outfit, etc.) and cleanup time, it’s about double the hourly rate of my other jobs I’ve had where I “use” my stupid biochem degree. However I don’t have a guaranteed number of hours. Some months it’s only a few :(

      I need to get a 9–5 again I’m running out of money 🤷‍♀️

  I already work with all my friends so problem solved?

  • ivanafterall@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Do you work with all of your friends or are your coworkers your only friends? It’s an important distinction.

    • billwashere@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Most of the people I work with were my friends long before. My boss and my grand-boss I’ve know for 30 plus years. I also have several other friends I work with that I hang out with occasionally outside of work. I do have other friends but they were originally part of that same group I’ve known for 30+ years.
