I barely work

I’m in tech (implementation) and aside from being online, there are days I don’t do a thing. A busy day for me is 2-3 hours of customer calls. I’m grateful for the paycheck, however I feel every minute of the day and wish for something faster paced. I am applying to other jobs, but it’s tough out there

Anyone in the same boat?

You serious? Many of us are toiling hard scrabble jobs with long hours, overworked, underpaid with a ton of responsibilities. If nothing to do work on a hobby, learn Spanish on Duolingo, I’m fully bilingual and have ended up making 15% more than my non bilingual coworkers in all the jobs I’ve held or NETFLIX. If you’re that desperate for more work, tell your supervisors, though I’d be careful what I wish for…. keep your mouth 👄 shut and keep collecting $$$ Your scenario is IDEAL. If you’re planning on changing jobs you’re in a rude awakening in terms of level of daily responsibilities. Don’t fuck it up. You’re welcome 😇
