you jest but this is the reality.

Two years ago I was working 12-16 hours a day. Got burned out.

The stress isn't worth it.

I was constantly passed over for promotions because I was impossible to replace.

now I put out 1/3 of the effort. that means tasks that took me one hour now take me 4 hours, one day is three days.

I get done with my work and watch anime for 2/3 of my job now.

I make $40k less than I should, and I just heard they're taking away some of my yearly accrued vacation time (well everybody is impacted by this, not just me).

The people aren't all bad and the work is paid, so I guess I can pass some bullshit off and catch up on Black Clover.

Some call it "quiet quitting". I call it financial accruity financial optimization or fafo in short.
