>job pays very little (sub 50k)>but often I LITERALLY do nothing all day, like actually LITERALLY NOTHING, just have my email open in case I get an email, and can work from home 2 days a weekWhat do I do?
>>82473329Learn and buy bitcoin so that your assets don't depreciate over time.
>>82473329I'd love to have a job like that. I value ease and comfort over money and I'd gladly get paid little to do little.
>>82473329>What do I do?Idk depends what you want, how can i tell you this
>>82473358bitcoin is no longer worth it anymore op invest into stocks it takes longer to see any profit but it's much better than bitcoins
>>82473364Problem is it's hard to even pay rent in like bottom tier American cities on that salary when the average studio or one bedroom is like 1.6k
I don't understand how jobs like these exist. I'm not shitting on you OP by the way, but I don't get it. What do the employers gain from this.
>>82473329You could get a second (easy/remote) job and do that during your first job to make even more money. Google "overemployment".
>>82473491OP here, I work in the public sector and there is no "product" to sell or business to make profitable just maintaining an institution. I am also bewildered that they even hired me in the first place though when they LITERALLY do not need me>>82473507like what? I've been using the free time to learn japanese
>>82473519>like whatDo I look like a job bank to you retard? How the fuck would I know what jobs are in your area google it yourself birdbrain
>>82473400Bitcoin is the only store of value with the Aristotelian properties that define money (durable, portable, divisible, and fungible) which at the same time cannot be multiplied, having its supply limited. It is also non-confiscatable if you have it in a hard wallet.
>>82473329Find work to do. Help other teams, improve current processes, etc.
>>82473602Do not do this. You're a public sector worker OP, the terms are simple. Do nothing. Invite no attention. Accept your average salary. Do not paint a target on your back, you will get nothing for it.
>>82473329Find a way to make your work fully remote, then get another job where you actually do something.
>>82473666Either you get a good boss that appreciates your talent and will promote you, or you enrich your CV and get a better job elsewhere. Doing nothing at your job is a waste of time.
>>82473590bitcoin is not fungible..
>>82473329Learn something like coding, so you can do it part time when you want.
>>82473602OP here I feel guilty for not doing this but I'm an entry level zoomer and all the other people who work there are like 50 year old boomers who have been doing the same job for like 10+ years (my boss literally has been doing this job longer than I've been alive) so there idea that I could "improve" any of their processes or offer help seems not realistic.Like they do things their way, even though it's obvious it's wildly out of date, like all manual code reviews with little documentation, but idk I've only worked they're a year and they don't seem interested in change, feels like it's all boomers just coasting to retirement >>82473675It's already theoretically fully remote but you can't just change "company" policy, they only allow 2 days remote>>82473686>>82473706I'm trying to improve my coding skills while working there, I'm doing leetcode daily and worked through one python book
>>82473717sounds good OP. As long as you're doing something useful and necessary, you're doing just fine. Also, don't bother to help them. You're right. Maybe learn to automate stuff for yourself, as it combines with your coding skills, but keep quiet about it. Your coworkers won't be thankful and your boss won't pay you extra.
>>82473454I suppose that's the problem with jobs like that. They don't typically pay enough to live on.
>>82473717Then find a fully remote job for another company and do your work for that job from your current place.
>>82473590You just described gold, not bitcoin, and I am up 300% since I bought 10 years ago. 30% ROI YOY
>>82473717>all the other people who work there are like 50 year old boomers who have been doing the same job for like 10+ years (my boss literally has been doing this job longer than I've been alive) so there idea that I could "improve" any of their processes or offer help seems not realistic.That is an issue on its own. Technology has changed so much, so you can automate things. Also, just because they've worked for a long time doesn't mean they're good at it. I guarantee there are things to improve. I was an entry level zoomer too but two departments have been trying to poach me.
My goal in life is to get a cushy government job where I don't have to do anything stressful. I would retire with a government pension and medical care. I don't need much money
>>82473823>Also, just because they've worked for a long time doesn't mean they're good at it.People get promoted to their level of incompetence
>>82473687It is.>>82473798Gold doesn't have even half the portability of bitcoin and gold's inflation is higher than bitcoin's as well.
>>82473329ask for a raise c:<
>>82473329sub-50k would be totally survivable where I live and not "very little" so I'll assume you're in a HCOL area. If you want to get more money simple enough you could double dip if there's predictability in your downtime - get a second job, maybe part time, especially if you have some kind of specific field you're in that means you have Experience and Qualifications for these kind of low-effort jobs. You could run two of this same job in parallel no problem. That said, I have a different related problem:>get my work done in ~2 hours per day most days>could just leave, boss doesn't care>boss also doesn't care if I just do as OP and just fuck around most of the day and clock in 8 hours even when we're slow>however my ass will be busted for time thieving if I just leave and fuck around at home while clocked in insteadQuite a conundrum. Do I just absorb the boredom and stay on the clock? That is mostly what I've been doing, but I'm hoping I can convince them to convert me to salary and absolve me of this issue altogether.
>>82473329You so lucky I dream of having a job like yours. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get one.
>>82473329I would say keep the job but live incredibly frugally so that you can afford rentpirate all mediabuy all food bulk (100lb bags of rice, that kind of thing). Try to never eat outLive without a car, if possible And obviously never get a gfIf you do all that you can probably live reasonably well on 50k/yearThen you can pick up an inexpensive hobby like drawing or guitar (as long as you only buy one and don't get autistic about pedals) and spend all your "remote work" time on improoving. This will satisfy your desire to be push yourself and reach your potentialAlso OP is your company hiring?T. unemployed zoomers with computer skillz, PNW USA
>>82473329>very little (sub 50k)i wish i was american
