[Question] What should I do?

Ok, let's me start this off by saying that I absolutely hate working for others (and being am employee). Not to sound weird, but this time around my colleagues are really great, the work pressure too is low with a good work life balance. However, once the increments comes in they are almost always in peanuts. I'm planning a side income but not very sure what to start. Being based out of an Asian country like India cound be taken into account. This is a genuine question. I probably would like to increase the side proj, into something I can fully grow and leave my work for, in next few years down the line. Any suggestions are appreciated. TL:RD:I'm a tech guy.

A follow up to my last post. My friends manager doesnt put out the fuel prices them sends a threatening message to him min wage staff. He is also “tired of everyday sick call(s)” even though my friend literally HAS COVID and was waiting for a text. What ever happened to managers being leaders?

Who else think that politics and the monetary system is outdated and we should’ve abolished these long ago?

Personally, I think we should have replaced these two outdated institutions and instead use technology and automation to provide life-necessities for everyone without a price-tag. Decision-making could be handled by the scientific process in a cybernetic-system, making corruption less-likely to exist in society. But what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? And if so, why?

Help me slack off please

I am soliciting the help of tech savvy anti-workers to help me automate part of my job. Every morning as part of my job I need to send out a series of stock emails. The system is clunky and tedious for no apparent reason. This takes 30-45 minutes out of my day, time I would much rather be napping, scrolling Reddit, or wasting my bosses time in other ways. Worst of all, my pay is heavily metric dependent and these emails are not part of those metrics. This is all time spend that essentially SUBTRACTS from the incentive portion of my pay (which is probably why they don’t spend money to fix it, because the we would also produce more and get more per unit pay.) The system works as such, we use Salesforce (the most basic version) to compile customer emails. We then have numbered lists in sales force…

Employers announcing on LinkedIn they’ve hired and are welcoming someone

Would this be like staking a claim on someone who might have other irons in the fire? It's a bit invasive, and what if one party backs out after such an announcement?

Your experience with working part time only?

I am thinking about giving up and working part time even if it will be probably troubling with the money. But I got two major burn outs already and feel like my body cant keep up with any kind of stress anymore. I am also scared of working part time. Not only the money but more like this pandemic alone made alot of people jobless and also the job market will be even harder if I give up on my current apprenticeship and education. Do you have any experience to share with me maybe?

I don’t hate teaching in the US

I have seen posts about teaching more frequently on here. I am finishing my 14th year and I wanted to share what I did that allowed me to not hate teaching. Hopefully, it helps a couple of teachers out there. Accept what you can’t control. People are going to hate you, accept that. Either from past experiences and unreasonable expectations to insecurities, some people will just hate you. You can’t change the pay on your contract. Every district has a pay scale or formula that they use to calculate teacher pay. You won’t win teacher of the year. Teacher of the Year is about making sacrifices for the school. It’s draining and will burn you out. You can’t change a student’s life unless they let you. You are not responsible for your student’s mental health. It’s not in your contract and you most likely are not qualified to address the…
