White collar office job brehs, is this your typical work day?

[KingTut]

Shw works in the Tech field and the upper big wigs will see this and say fukk this I can send these jobs over to India and pay them smelly Indians $9.00 a day.

They could have done that a decade ago. The reasons it will not (and doesn't work since plenty of companies have already tried) are due to cultural differences and the fact that the majority of workers overseas are just not as good.

 

[DonB90]

in some ways, probably but in other ways you sound like some head of product who has never done the jobs and think they can be easily shipped overseas to asia for 1/5 the cost with no loss of quality

You know now that you bring it up thats not to bad of an idea....

Funny enough, yes, most of my days are very similar. I don't do much and I get paid a lot. At my last gig it was even worse cause my ass would be on the top floor sleeping in a cozy suite overlooking downtown Chicago. I don't want to be in the office long term but if I lived downtown, my ass would be doing the same shyt this woman in OP did.

Also the Tech industry are having a massive freeze and they have been cutting massive jobs:

Mass layoffs and hiring freezes: Tech workers report huge drops in confidence in job security

Just months ago, 80% of tech workers were confident enough in the job market to consider switching roles.

The underlined is not going to happen. This has been the boogeyman since the late 90s for tech jobs and it doesn't happen that way. I have worked with 4 big companies now that do keep an overseas staff but doesn't offload a ton of work due to time and cultural differences as well as less accountability when work is subpar. If your support or dev team overseas is fukking up, it takes way too much to reverse course and companies know that now.

i just wan to say i've been acting over the top in this thread

my team works hard. we are more productive than we were in the office pre-covid by all metrics.

we work hard and we play hard

 

[Chrishaune]

Well, I do maybe 2-3 hours of work and sit around the rest of the 7-8 hours I'm at work, so........

 

[Insensitive]

Since I've made the transition to an office job (very recently!) I've noticed that this is
exactly what it's like for these people.

lol.

This office shyt is fly.
Getting paid for your mind >>>>>>

I just interned at a big financial firm, and a co-worker of mine was asked to make a "Day in the life" video just like this, a lot of these companies like when you put shyt out like this because it puts them in a good light.

We both worked in the tech department there, and both finished work early, and/or didn't have much to do most days, nor did we have to be in the office like that. Office life in the tech industry is a straight breeze.

I only see these type of videos of women when they work in the "tech industry". We never know what exactly it is that they do but more often than not its something that doesn't actually require any "tech" skills.

filming tiktok videos is TECH

Primarily, I work from home, but I got a corporate office gig. I’m able to pop up to our satellite location in my city, eat food, drink coffee, go to nice ass lunches on the company dime, and such.

But I’m an introvert and I hate that stuff.

 

[Serious]

No and I wish people would stop making videos like that.

We're on the brink of a recession and spoiled brats like her are going out of their way to give the impression that people working office jobs are not pushed hard enough.

@Obreh Winfrey breakdown your typical day

 

[Giselle]

That's the trap. That all day free food encourages you to come in early and stay in late.

I wouldn’t stay late for free food if I had other plans, and idk why you think someone who only showed up for free food would be working the whole time.

 

[acri1]

Yeah, I'm an IT breh who works from home most days and I have my fair share where I do little else but log into the VPN and reply to a couple emails.

What's that old saying? Don't hate the player, hate the game.




That said, I'm only talking about myself, not office jobs in general. It's obviously going to depend on your specific job and where you work.

the way i look at it is if FREE FOOD is a perk that actually matters to you when you're making career decisions, and not just a cool extra perk, then they are not paying you close to enough lol.

especially people who get hyped over free cereal and shyt. that costs like 75 cents, that's best western maybe even motel 6 (it has been a minute since i stayed at a motel) type shyt.
