I will never forget that company I used to work for before I moved which was like: "Yeah we need you to bring in 12500€/month so you finance your own salary + bring in 100% in profit, we literally don't care how long it takes lol". I had months where I worked one week, hit that line and then had the rest of the month as vacation lmao.

I could work faster and get my shit done but why would I want to have my bosses give me more shit to do.

I already have two people's work to do by myself, I'm not going to move faster than a shuffle for what they pay me.

This is part of why scumbags want to kill work from home.

I can finish a task in an hour and fuck off. Harder to do in an office.

They could also not be fucking counter productive management, and I'd keep working on stuff. But they'd rather have a bunch of pRoCeSs and nonsense.

Remember, never work any harder or faster than you're getting paid for.

Only do enough work to avoid getting fired.

Never tell them how long it’s really going to take. How else will you look like a miracle worker?

I'm in the fortunate position where boss people are impressed by how much work I do to help the others struggling with having bad bosses.

It pays well but plateaus as you start running out of bosses to defeat. Then you get in this awkward situation where everyone a tier below the c-suite wants you, but don't understand that you aren't up for sale in their game.

Been in NFP for a decade and people are still the same. But in NFP you get the leftovers that were never smart enough to be touched for a corporate role. Their idiocy cascades down to a workforce of 15,000 people that have to endure it; people that signed up to help others.

So, that's my job. Fuck the money—40% of my paycheck is donated—and my time is spent being real good at helping others by showing up the overpaid morons that make life hard. And surfing. And trains. And birdwatching and trees.

I'm intoxicated an am oversharing. o7

Fuck bosses. They're so useless, weak, and easy to defeat. All you gotta do is break their "network" with logic, and if that fails, a unionised force.

I somehow started rambling again...

Beginning to think my productivity is simply being captured by my boss and turned into profit for my company's investors.

Took me 20 years to realise getting things done quicker than others doesn't bring you shit if you get paid per hour. You have to stay your 8 hours. You'll just always be the work donkey and the lazy ass flirting with the boss will get promoted.
