#FrydayConfessions: I do nothing at my job.

The title basically sums it up. I work as a software engineer for a major company and do nothing all day. I feel terrible about it, but I can't stop. It's been like this for almost a year, and it doesn't seem like anyone notices. Nobody checks up on me and I do whatever every day. I know nothing special, just something that I deal with every working day of my existence.

First of all, you must do something, right? As in rarely at least? If you just sit down all day and do nothing at all, then that's a bit weird. But I assume you're in one of those jobs where you're ready if you're needed. And that's okay.

The less you work, the more you become inclined to do less work. It becomes a cycle that is very hard to break, unfortunately.

My confession is also here💀 I'm a productivity guru but I basically survive on Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V😜 I just fake innovation and pretend to work during Zoom meetings with a big smile🤡

My daily grind is basically zero productivity. It’s been like this for almost a year, and guess what? No one’s noticed. I’m just here, doing... well, nothing special. It’s like I’m the invisible man, but with a paycheck. 🤷‍♂️
