I mean I think another part of it is the internet and increasing computer literacy means we’ve automated a lot of the old admin jobs that had to be done by desk workers. Used to be anyone who could type and had any sort of business major from any college could land some kind of job flying a desk, updating windows to display 20 instead of 19 in the calendar or whatever BS. Nowadays teenagers can write bots to do that in an afternoon.
Now imagine how miserable you'd be sitting in an office doing a job you know you could easily automate, but also knowing if you wrote that bot you'd be jobless.
I found a way to secure my job for life. I don't follow procedure with storing stuff on the shared server and at this point there is nothing they can do about it because it's been going on for years. Good luck finding your logo on my external hard drive filled with thousands of unorganized files that can only be sorted via searching the correct combination of keywords I use in my filenames!
Sometimes being just "high functioning" enough to blend in at the office is a blessing. The downside is I really need the kick in the ass to get me out of this job I hate... I sort of wish they'd fire me.
I don’t wanna get all political but I think the connecting link is capitalism and wage theft
Good we try to keep this place politics free.

I remember one guy on reddit did that and it was like 3 years of browsing forums all day before his bosses found out. King shit.
