More than that.

Consider that you woke up earlier and spend more time "getting ready" for work.
Then you go to work with your already paid/paying for car using fuel, before you even got to work, you have made a financial investment as well as some time, 1.5-2.5hrs already.
Even if you only work 8hrs, most places there is the "lunch" break which is designed to get more coverage out of you, so 9hrs.
Then you go home and have to unwind from work, dress out and such, another 1.5-2hrs easy. Then you are going to bed earlier to get up earlier.

In the end, you have little to no time for yourself.

And you actually have people advocating for full return to office. I don't get it. Whats the thought process?

But I’m pretty sure you could get an AI to train the AI better than I could lmao
Do you need to be a software geek to train AI? Mind posting a link?

Would be nice to make an extra $500 - $1000 on the side.

No not for all projects. You’re analyzing ai responses across a variety of domains. If you were analyzing coding responses than ya but that’s only a small subset of projects.

Link below. I’d apply to generalist expert unless you see something more specific to your skill set. Im a generalist expert (I quoted the pay in CAD since I live in Canada). They have a massive massive project going on for generalist experts right now with a massive client (can’t say cause nda but you’d know the client).

Mercor is the best one but if you can’t get in or it takes too long this dude on Reddit put together a list of similar platforms you could look into.

Only a 20 minute commute in NoVA? You must live only a few blocks from the office.



Most boomers seem to adopt this mentality. My boss gets here around 9am and stays late into the night almost every day. I get emails with timestamps at like 8:30pm sometimes and I’m like WTF? Who in their right mind would voluntarily work that late? There’s not that much work to do srs.
Thats why hes the boss.

Just be happy you have a job and can contribute some of your earnings so people on welfare can just be bums.

I ask this because when I was in an office it definitely didn’t take me 9 hours to get my stuff done. Maybe like 2-3.

I think the concept of time spent at work is so backwards and you should be allowed to leave when you’re done your work.
you should be allowed to leave when you're done. unfortunately a lot of managers are kunts and they want you sitting in a chair for the whole 8 hours, even if you have nothing left to do.

at one of my previous office jobs, i had the audacity to leave 30 minutes early. i didn't think it was a big deal, i was tired and i wanted to go home to my family. does that make me such a bad guy? i'm of the belief that giving people autonomy and flexibility is actually beneficial in the long-run. it improves engagement levels and prevents burnout.

the kunt director on my team told my boss that i left early, and my boss scolded me the next day. she accused me of "taking advantage of the company".

they are both women by the way, so should i even be surprised?

It's retarded because with computers, the internet, AI, search engines, and all advances in technology you still have to sit in the office for 8 hours. Even if you get all of your work done for the day. The AI shit is just the icing on the cake, makes some tasks that took hours like 15 minutes. This isn't the ford assembly line, it's 2026.

I worked for a guy like this.

And I may have at least had some respect for him but he got nothing done. Didn’t accomplish anything in years, yet he’d be at the office from 8am till 7pm furiously typing on his keyboard doing god knows what. Whatever he was doing didn’t move the needle in any meaningful way.

If these same people were providing tremendous value and were useful I suppose they’d have a right to hold everyone else to the same standards but more often than not they add no value and focus on the 80 percent of things that drive 20 percent of results instead of vice versa.

You just adapt. It's not easy of course especially when they're young, but it's just normal now. We do not have free time to do fuk all, but getting home to your kids winds up being fulfilling, even if it's not "leisure time"

I would suggest to people holding off on having kids because their life is too hectic now, to stop worrying about that because you will just adapt

That’s the biggest problem for me. Life is pretty great right now srs. With the obvious exception of not having a high income or fulfilling job like most miscers, I don’t have much of anything to complain about once I get home.

Add the stress of young children and I honestly think it would destroy my physical and mental wellbeing, as well as my relationship.

I’ve posted about this before, but I’ve never known a single happy couple who loved each other more after kids. Not one. The women in my family and friend group have ended up with hormonal issues, postpartum depression, etc. and turned batshit insane after pregnancy. The men got burned out and turned into a shell of their former selves. Some hit the bottle. Others hit the road.

As rewarding as raising a family would be, I question whether it would be worth it. It’s extremely high risk/high reward.

I also have no idea how new parents function on an hour of sleep, then go work all day, come home and take care of a fragile baby whose life depends on them.

You just adapt, that's all I can say. I used to feel dead if I didn't get 7 hours of sleep, now I operate just fine on 4-5 hours of interrupted sleep. In my late 20's I would have felt completely run down if I only got 4 hours of sleep and was up 2-3 times within those 4 hours, now at 37 I'm operating fine on that. I do drink a thermos of wagie fuel in the morning though so there's that too. You're still tired don't get me wrong, but not as much as you'd expect on paper.

I love my wife around the same if not more after kids, since she's now the mother of my children on top of being my wife. Intimacy itself nosedives when kids are young since you don't have all the time in the world for each other anymore, but we both felt that we'd probably be feeling pretty empty with no kids especially if we were like, in our 50s and 60s and childless.

I have the exact same story! so I quit without notice (long story there anyway, but it was time to go) and am living off savings for a couple of years until I figure out what to do.

Bored Panda is this ghey ass site that you shouldnt go to without an ad blocker. Basically they do that bottom feeder dopamine thing to where they scrub reddit and twitter and stuff for interesting comments about a subject, then compile a list.

This post is about people who just bailed on their crap jobs and lived on savings and stuff to travel for awhile, and are glad they did so.

for the vast majority that aren't on gov assistance the bulk of their life on earth will revolve around work. maybe there will come a day where people in the future look back with amazement at people used to live.

it's mind-boggling because we are in the 21st century. humans have developed such incredible technology. we have become more productive then ever. and yet quality of life is going down, and people are expected to work harder then ever.

the reason why is obvious - corporate greed. the rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. the rich are the ones mainly benefitting from all these productivity improvements. millionaires become billionaires, and billionaires become trillionaires.

i know that socialism/communism gets a lot of hate, but something needs to be done to spread that wealth. a guy worth $100 billion does not need anymore money.

there needs to be government intervention so that the wealth generated by amazing technology like AI gets spread to all citizens in the form of a universal basic income.

in the 21st century, everybody should have the right to a basic standard of living srs.
