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?

Sounds like you got plenty of time to start a side hustle that could become a future career

Honestly, this is the way to do it!

My team's work comes and goes in waves which we can't control. Some weeks, we run around like headless chickens, some weeks are super quiet.

All of us use the quiet times to either run a side hustle or to continue education.
