Unemployed
I am a programmer, which means that either I sit around doing nothing all day because chatgpt is doing my job, or I am the guy fixing printers around here.
People pay me money, and then I worry about the same things that they worry about, only more eloquently.
"Dude just talking to people, everyone can do that".
What's your job?
Social work and sex ed with a smidgen of research.
"Jo, can you hack this instagram account for me? Shouldn't be that hard, everything needs to be the same in your world"
I move little icons around, press little square buttons and the higher-ups are happy
"So, you just spend all day reading books, right?"
Bean counter.
I used to tell people to turn it off and back on again. Now I tell other people how to tell people to turn it off and back on again.
IT team managers unite
Yup.
Future unemployed person :)
To be clear, this is not to insult on anyone's job. It is a just way to observe if the workers are aware of their occupation's stereotypes or not.
I prep the stuff, put it in a machine, and pray everything looks okay when it comes out. I also prep other stuff, load it onto a different machine, and hope everything comes out looking okay. And then thereβs a whole different set of stuff that I prep a lot of, check to make sure it looks okay, then send to a different team who will prep it in a completely different way.
Chef or content manager?
Neither, although I think it would be cool to be a chef.
Definitley somebody who works with scripts or code.
I know many chefs. If you like cooking all I will say is make it a hobby.
Good guess, but no to that as well. A lot of people in my career area have some degree of coding experience. Iβve done some coding and thought about going back to school for it but I think Iβd miss getting to do the work that I do now.
Yeah, Iβm not the best cook but I do enjoy it at the hobby level and donβt believe Iβd survive in an intense kitchen situation. Iβve learned at least that much from watching The Bear haha.

I make executives look good via fancy PPT and PBIs (business consultant).
The man who knows the arcane knowledge of fixing printers and finding lost emails
We pick things up and put them down.
