Is everybody just phoning it in for a boss that just needs you to do busy work?

I like what I do
I get to travel and see the world
I'm paid handsomely
It's a niche skill set that is hard to find
plenty of job security
I like my coworkers

...so yeah, I'd say it's fulfilling

EDIT: To give a vague privacy friendly answer as to what I do, it's a particular kind of IT, and it involves highly specialized purpose-built server clusters that spend most of their time on the backdeck of ships.

a little bit like you...

I like what I do (software developer)
I WFH 95% of the time
I'm well paid
I'm a consultant so jump from contract to contract, always have job

May I ask what you do? Or at least what industry you're working in?

[-] Aremel@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

You don't have to confirm or deny, but it sounds like you work for the navy.

[-] neidu2@feddit.nl 2 points 6 months ago

I do not. Nor any other military branch.
