I work with people who have no email and use flip phones. Knowing how to do basic formulas in excel is something people in my industry put on resumes as a brag. I blew minds with a pivot table last week.
Then tech people will come in like "if you dont c38÷<#æ&÷>h§tg your &÷8]ă2& on your ejẅińë6÷&7g/g5 then youre stupid and support facism, you dumb corporate apologist with your basic windows platform."
Or at least that's what lemme feels like sometimes.
What job is that? I'd be a God there after I automate my entire workflow and just get paid for sitting on the chair.
Manufacturing, not a ton of behind the desk work required. What little office work is required is still often done on paper or on very manual entry heavy basic excel sheets.
I dont know why tech people always forget non tech jobs still exist. You definetely wouldn't get paid for just sitting in a chair unless you've cracked industrial line automation in a way that should have already made you a billionaire. Still more automation of any kind would also be a good thing in a lot of plants.
Pulling a tech worker move, i'd just convince the tech illiterate boss that the excel thingy is too complicated and that i should use all the time i have to handle it while i then make some software that handles that annoying part of the job until it becomes too important that someone has to maintain it. of course, i'd write no documentation so i only know how the program works, as a leverage in case they think it would be a good idea to fire me lmao.
At that point that's just fraud lmao.
I know xD that's tech industry for you
You clearly just don't understand manufacturing. They'd still be willing to fire you and make us use a paper and pencil. In fact if the techs that important then no it isn't because they don't trust it, and we're keeping paper backups anyway.
I know that because youre in tech you think you can "out smart" the guy who can build a house with a paper and pencil, but I promise that you aren't half as clever as you think you are.
Controls engineer here. I will get to you eventually.
I automated my workflow once and started drinking heavily. My manager hated my guts but couldn't get rid of me. So it was just me in a server room reading for 7 hours a day and pretending to look interested during meetings for the other hour.
