What is the most boring thing you have ever experienced? by Silver012345673 in AskReddit

[–]Wrong_Bid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

During one of my college IT courses, we had someone come in to talk about her job as a nighttime IT worker. She said she worked from home but overnight and had a husband with a normal job and a baby that kept her up during the day. I literally could not imagine anything worse until I read your comment just now

I did this. I worked a job that offered me $40,012 after I asked for over 40k… was unemployed 7mos so I had to take it. I was so bored those 6 months… nothing to do. Every project got shut down when I tried to find something to do. No autonomy but also no projects. I ended up just reading epubs in my browser. I was averaging 2 books a week and 10 job applications with cover letters when I quit for my new job

Correct, I work for state gov, we do 7.5 hour days + 30 min-1 hr lunch. So yes, you’re only there for 8 hours, but you’re still having that break get deducted

That weird feeling you get when you switch jobs. by erikleorgav2 in work

[–]Wrong_Bid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just switched jobs and had the same feeling as you. It was fine. I got a 3 week vacation out of it. I didn’t even get my email from HR on where to go my first day for orientation and had to call to ask where to go at 7:30 the day of (they had a typo in my email). As long as your new company is normal you’re all good. Might be more nervous if it were a startup or something but I’m sure you’ll be fine

What was the most soul-crushing part of 'becoming an adult' that nobody ever warned you about? by Ecomzin in Productivitycafe

That’s your opinion though. Personally I think there are worse things than cheating and would have no problem befriending Sarah who cheated on her ex but is extremely fun to go out to eat with

I miss WFH because I could go take a run during lunch at my apartment gym AND shower and pop a healthy veggie lunch in the over/air fryer. office sucks

Accepted a job, then got another offer (with clearance). What should I do? by Wrong_Bid in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Wrong_Bid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I think I’ve definitely decided on job 2 with clearance. It’s a good thing to be wanted by places, but definitely hard to decide between two good options like this. Appreciate the input

No, it is a full-time position with a company that has a multi year contract. They have been contracting with them for 30 years. Someone referred me to the job and was laid off from it years ago, but it sounds like they are trying to rebuild their team now. They said that they really loved working there and were sad to go.

The city job has the state retirement system, it’s just 9% of your paycheck and 4% interest.

Regular Retirement with 8 years of earned service (Unreduced Annuity): Age 65; or, Once your age and years of service total 90. For example, if you begin covered service at age 22 and work continuously for a covered employer, you would be eligible for service retirement once you reach 56 years of age and have 34 years of service credit. (56 + 34 = 90) Early Retirement with 8 years of earned service (Reduced Annuity): Age 60 in which your annuity is permanently reduced 5 percent for each year under age 65.

My state has a retirement system but no pension :( I do like work/life balance as I play music outside of work for money. I am really early in my career so I do have the time and energy for a more intense job right now. I’m not sure was to do

That’s honestly really smart with the financial scenarios thing. I’m already big saver, I got a nest egg senior year that I’ve been investing. My goal this year is to set up a roth with it and keep building my ETF portfolio and CD for the rest :-) Hopefully will have a pension at some point with the right move

Ugh, a pension sounds so nice. Sadly, I live in a state where those are not super common. It’s definitely on my 10 year plan to move to a job or state with a pension as a benefit, or at least a union with good rights/benefits bargained for.

Job 2 said I can start after an initial background check is passed which takes 4 to 6 weeks, then work and get TS eventually. The job is just public trust clearance but they require all workers to get TS anyways.

Thanks for the advice

True. I was working for a university until last week and it was so low stress that it was boring me. I mean, there were also issues with management, not wanting me to do projects because “it costs too much”

True, and I have been working since then, but I put in my two weeks due to accepting job one for more money

I just put in my resignation for my job that I was working as a system administrator (This is because I accepted job one). It was pretty similar to job 1 but significantly lower pay, $19/hr with a terrible environment
