Bro 9 hour workdays sound like hell. And the fact they want to know if you’re taking a shit is disgusting. I’m so sorry you have a job like that. I hope you’re able to get out of there.

When I was a kid, I played Black and White constantly and my dad printed off a complete guide from GameFAQs and put it in a binder with page protectors and everything. It was so awesome.

Yo I totally get that time entry shit. I get automatic hate mail from my boss if I don’t hit 6 hrs of billable time. There’s a lot of unbillable duties I do in my position, so a lot of days I don’t hit my 6 and it’s annoying as fuck.

My boss is also a passive aggressive pos that I could rant about all day.

I’m in the easterm part of the country on top of everything else. In a very poor area. I’m looking at a commute if I can’t find a remote position. I currently work fully remote because I am very immunocompromised. I’m terrified of even hybrid positions getting me ill. I caught a cold that’s slowly turning into pneumonia and I just can’t fight it off. I have the feeling I’m going to end up hospitalized from it.

I feel like I could also be on the chopping block if my employer decides that they’re done with me. The only thing going for me is that it’s a small company and our growth in clientele alone is keeping me employed. If we are down by one person, we are absolutely slammed with work. It’s ridiculous.

Damn that really sucks. I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated for your skills and have to take on the role of teacher instead of doing your actual work.

I live outside of a large city and would be commuting into it. Wanting to live kinda rural and work in tech was not a good idea, but I’m in too deep now. -_-

In in the same boat as you, right down to the industry. Except I’m in the US and I’m only experienced enough to be a level 2 tech.

I have a friend tracking down a hybrid position lead at his company, but the commute for the in person days would be 1.5 hrs at least one way. He’s going to be seeing what the pay is and how many days I’d need to be in the office so I know if it’d be worth it. I don’t want to waste my time and the time of his coworkers if the pay and schedule wouldn’t be right.

My workplace had become super toxic and I’m desperate for another job, but the market is abysmal. I’m hoping for a miracle, because I want out of my current job asap

The what crowd

Every day I’m so much more thankful for Lemmy existing. Joining the exodus when third-party reddit apps died has been great for my overall online experience. Lemmy may not have the traffic that reddit does, but the quality of posts here and the community makes up for that.

I love encountering people I recognize in random posts. Found some comments about my horse in a post on a community separate from the one I post pics of her in and the post had nothing to do with her. Made me feel really happy to stumble across that. You can’t get that kinda wholesome shit with reddit.

His foot is in the stirrup and in the proper position. Lil dude is a real cowboy 🤠

Trying to finish up Hellblade Senua’s Sacrifice so I can start the second one. I developed a cold over the week, so this is a great opportunity for this lol. Just lay in bed and game between naps.

Hopeless Bread

Don’t judge an entire industry of people bro. That’s hella rude.

And that fact is deeply upsetting at times.

At this point, I’m not surprised by people not having critical thinking skills. I encounter folks who do not think at all about anything on the daily.

What do you have against MSPs?

I sure do love working at an MSP during times like this. Today fuckin sucked. Clients called in non-stop about things being broke AND our ticketing and remote support software was up and down all day
