Ynow I wouldn’t mind if anything i did made even the slightest sense. Like there’s no work to do because there isnt any work. Businesses are just like circle jerking bullshit on all levels while 1 goblin in the basement is keeping everything ticking over so the rest of us can play political battles and kiss ass while doing nothing of value.

Like they’re talking about ai automating jobs but there was no job to automate because we dont do anything.

I keep thinking about the black books sketch of working in the office. Nobody knows whats actually going on or what their job even is you just carve out some niche, get a few consumers of it and thats where you sit in the little piss bucket you have made for yourself knowing deep down it doesnt really benefit anybody.

Just need to mentally check out until i get fired i guess. Use my office hours to make a game the thing i actually want to do.

Oh yeah, after I burned out from a major project failure last year I decided to never let that shit happen again. I'm only putting effort into getting hired. (I'm a contractor, aka the company's own on demand personal surplus army of labor.) Otherwise, I bullshit most of my job, and now that they refuse to let us have an in person supervisor (we cared too much about each other's well-being, so they divided our team into two and switched to an out-of-state supervisor directly under corporate's watch) and have taken away our paid OT opportunities, I don't really care what happens. The new supervisor is trying to build trust with us, but it's so superficial that nothing is ever going to come of it when push comes to shove. I come home early on in office days and no one notices or cares now that we're separated from the older employees. Thanks for removing the snitches I guess.

God I wish we could unionize, but hey, we're not real employees. All part of the ~~keikaku~~ plan.
