How to get decent wfh job? It feels like all the low tier tech cert shit dried up.

>>314357
i never took certified IT work to be a wfh job, the only low-skill wfh jobs that haven’t gone the way of the jeet a decade ago are terrible-sounding sales jobs. like cold-calling all day for insurance companies

I'm OP (the other response you got isn't me) I lucked into it, my CV is all over the place and my absolutely insane boss liked that I have a mix of experience with e-commerce and customer service with a focus on difficult clients (I worked for a covid vaccination hotline before and it was hell). I was applying to every bearable seeming wfh job listed on recruiting websites and heard back from a few but this one hired me on the spot during our first call.

It's an email/ticket job working for a tech sales company where I do mostly internal communication between the CEO and repair centers or lawyers and tell him about updates and forward summaries of the cases to our lawyers and send some "we told you what we can do about it, if you don't want any of this then contact us through your lawyers you speak of" emails to customers. It's very flexible and relaxed and pays well. The only downside is my boss. He's a far right aggressive moid who fulfills every single stereotype of a dangerous scrote who will kill someone one day and his temper is extremely volatile and every call is 90% about his personal life and it's a small company with his wife being the HR so we're all at his mercy and whims. But I work 5 hours a day and effectively I only spend an hour of that really working. The rest of the time I dick around or sometimes go run errands.

You sound like an insufferable humblebragging bitch. Hope you enjoy your job while most people suffer.

I spent my life working first-level with tasks tracked by the second and you get penalised as soon as the tracker goes over your allotted timespan or people would look up the company info and threaten to come rape and stab me. So yeah I'm glad I get to relax a bit if only for a while. I deeply regret not getting a real education. A lot of office jobs are like this but you're not supposed to talk about it because they depend on everyone pretending to be busy and you don't usually get them without certifications. But in the end the truth is that a lot of the job market is luck and connections. I sent hundreds of applications and got lucky one time. Hope you find something good anon.

are you accusing her bragging about having a ticket job or a job at all lol

Checking in
Working from home is the biggest blessing. I can only hope it continues as the economy isn’t too great. I work from about 9-2pm (I’m a statistician) and cook all my meals at home. In my free time I gym, go on bike rides with my bf, and have been doing some gardening. I’ve got a little veggie patch and a small fruit orchard with 5 different fruit trees so far.

I asked my boss if I can get more hours, I work part time and my work is done mostly within 1-2 hours and the rest of it is just me having to be available in case of emergency. So I was thinking that I'm actually wasting money by not clocking in more hours of not-working. My boss thinks everything is always on fire but meanwhile my inbox has maybe 7 emails in it. So he took me up on my offer immediately. I thought he might check up on my work to see if I really need more hours to get it all done but he didn't care and was just happy to have me "on retainer" for more hours. Crazy luck. I'm getting sushi tonight. The rest of my life is awful rn so at least I'm getting a little bit of breathing space here.

You're sure humble. It's incomprehensible for me how someone can be happy for getting more work. Keep enjoying the little things in life for as long as possible. If ever you lose everything and everyone abandons you, the sea, wind, the moon in the sky and the sun that is setting will always belong to you.

Did I phrase it poorly? My pay increases, my workload doesn't.

>>314395
Suffer and seethe you miserable wageslave.

You'll be doing that when you return to the office, you dumb bitch.

I was accusing her of bragging about having a remote job. I'm sick these dipshits who brag anonymously on image boards about having a remote job they they got through either luck, nepotism, or covid.

>>317348
…or skill.

>>317349
Yeah I'm sure she has a skill that only she can do and not the other 8,000 people who applied to the job. How narcissistic of you to assume 1 person can do something better than thousands because of "much skill." Highly statistically unlikely.

I worship Fortuna, the Goddess of luck, and it's in bad taste to claim something was "just luck", luck is an act of divinity itself in my heart, so someone being lucky is divinely blessed, I don't see how this devalues or denigrates her position at all, you should take your miserable ass elsewhere and be open to more opportunities, maybe Fortuna will smile upon you for a change if you do

then again, you're probably just some stupid scrote, go back to 4chan
