This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Pretend work sucks more than real work

Ok. I'm going to ask for a raise.

Only if you can't fake the pretend work. If I can tab out and play counterstrike while on the clock, then it's cool. But if a micromanager is watching the pretend work to ensure it gets done, then nah fuck that.

Not when you're playing videos games all day.

Yeah it does. Unless your boss is completely cool with you doing so and you don’t have to look over your back.

In that case, rock on!

Work from home, get work done in two hours, just have to be present to answer emails timely while gaming.

I did like WFH, log into the meeting with camera and mic off and then just eat cereal or play games while listening to the meeting

Literally my current job. I'd estimate I only actually work about 30 hours per week on average, and generally spend the rest of the time relaxing. It's a sweet gig, but I just wish the work I do spend my time doing was more fullfilling
