First ill preface that I know i am REALLY spoiled to even have a wfh job. Im honestly amazed something like this exists.
Which leads me to my question. Im good at my job, its a great company, I get nothing but good feedback. But honestly, its easy. Really if anyone wanted to learn, they could do it. I feel guilty pretty much everyday at how easy it is. But the fact that its easy also makes it really difficult to put in 45 hours of real work. I try to use some of the time for educational videos or something related to work but honestly with my adhd mind, 9 hours is a lot unless im SUPER busy.
All my previous work has been jobs running around all day, fixing problems, managing people, which I dont want to go back to necessarily but sometimes I miss it. I work very well in chaos.
I have tried meds to zoink me out and they do work, but I prefer not to be dependent.
Exactly. I make the money I do because I have a rare skill set that pretty much has to be learned on the job, and you need a solid 4 year education as well.
So no, I’m not going to sit in my seat and stare at a screen for 8 hours a day. I will do the work that needs to be done that falls under my team. But again, I’m still fielding calls/emails all day, and all pretty much ‘on call’ 24/7. The minute I hear anything other than a ’ thank you for doing such an awesome job!’ , I’ll no longer take those after hours calls, and when that causes huge fucking issues and millions in losses, I’ll explain that since the terms of my employment seemed to have changed and so it’s time to renegotiate. They WILL NOT like the price of having me be officially on call 24/7
