WHY DONT I GET FUCKING FIRED. I BEG TO GET FIRED. PLEASE FUCKING FIRE ME U DIPSHITS IM NOT EVEN DOING A GOOD JOB HERE AND IM NOT LEARNING ANYTHING USEFUL. HOW CAN A FUCKING DEVOPS JOB BE TO 24/7 CONSTANTLY RUN LINUX COMMANDS AND LITERALLY NOTHING ELSE HELLO????

Dude, chill. If you are fireproof, that is a great opportunity for malicious compliance.
Stupid managers won't fire you because then they will have to explain why they hired and/or kept you for so long. They would rather waste company money on nearly useless headcount than to admit that their little kingdom is larger than it should be.
You WFH? if you do, you can make some app to trigger your scripts with a click from you phone and go do some exercise and look for other jobs - the company will even pay you for it! It's like being in prison, you can make the most of a bad situation.
If you are in an office that gets tricky, but you can spend your days learning new skills and working on some opensource project - something that is so big the company can never claim ownership of it, an Apache project mayhaps. Do not work on a personal project! They can steal it from you!
But above all, don't worry! Stay sleazy! If you're bad enough, you will get fired eventually!

@JsonBoa wfh 4 days a week

Cant automate mt work since im constantly spammed with 100s of emails messages and meetings. Especially meetings

If all else fails, try defecating in the lift.

If you've already tried that, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

have you thought about the possibility of... quitting?

@tosensei theres no lift only stairs

@tosensei can i quit before my contract expires?

@b2plane ..you signed a work contract you can't get out of in a reasonable time? => you deserve it.

also: yes, you can, if your employer agrees. have you thought of _talking to HR_ about getting out before the original expiration date?

and trust me: getting yourself fired on purpose is the worst possible way to achieve this. for everybody involved.

@tosensei Nah my 3 month contract expires on 15th march so I'll quit then

@b2plane Well crack one down on the stairs then, man. Use your initiative.

Yeah, exactly. The only thing cool about devops is how it sounds. It's trial on error everything and once you succeed you automate it. Worst job in the world.

Cool thing about programming - it's kinda always YOUR fault and you'll figure it out. Third party libraries often make it harder..

Devops is like only doing 3rd party libraries and dealing with someone else his ShiT.

IMHO, it's almost the opposite of programming when it comes to what I like about programming

And ofcourse you can quit whenever you want. What do they want to do? You're not a slave..

@retoor i chose devops cause its impossible to find a backend job for me and everyone desperately wants devops engineers and devops is paid WAY higher than backend engineers (example backend is paid $3.75 an hour while devops $8.125 an hour)

@b2plane yh, I know it's higher paid. It should be, because it really sucks to do. € 3.75 a hour. Damn. How much is a cheeseburger there at MC Donald's?

@retoor cheeseburger is $4-5 i think haven't eaten mcdonalds in a long time. I remember when i ordered 2 french fries and 2 cheeseburgers it was 27$

@b2plane wtf. Cheeseburger is € 1, 95 here according to internet. I'm my village you can buy the hamburger of your dreams of 7,50. Everything is better in a village, I hope city people never find out

@retoor SERBIA IS AN OVERPRICED BELOW ITS VALUE SHITHOLE TRASH COUNTRY PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS AND SPREAD THE TRUTH ACROSS THE WORLD. THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THE TRUTH OF THE STATE IN SERBIA.

A CAR THAT COSTS 30K IN AMERICA COSTS 50-60K IN SERBIA

SERBIA WITH SHITHOLE SALARIES, WORSE THAN INDIANS, HAS MORE EXPENSIVE SHIT EVEN FOOD THAN THE RICHEST COUNTRIES. MAKE THIS FUCKING MAKE SENSE

@b2plane before I knew you I thought Serbia was a cocktail

@retoor serbia is a giant cock without a tail, the biggest clown joke of a country there csn be

@jestdotty everyone literally everyone from tiktok to reddit to devrant to instagram think im trolling or dont believe me or ask me if its legal that im paid $8 an hour as a software engineer (and devops engineer) with computer science degree

Im starting to feel fucking miserable and exploited for slave labor

Leave then?
