At D feeling guilty for avoiding layoffs as I haven’t worked more than an hour a week since WFH began. I automated almost all of my work and told nobody. My PPMD thinks these analyses take hours when in reality I change a few variables in my boilerplate code and say I’m “managing data integrity” for hours

Hahahaha you should be getting a raise honestly. Work smarter, not harder.

Dude, one of the best skills I learned at D was how to appear busy. Rock on.

Once I realized every project with this team ends up the same several analyses I just wrote enough functions to cover 99% of what I get asked to do, but everything assumes it takes me the same amount of time as the first time I did it

I’ve read a dozen books, re-did my pool lining, started running again, and am in the middle of interviewing with 4 potential exits. I wake up around noon and don’t reply to emails unless asked to do something explicit. But I feel guilty as my friend from training was laid off from the bench last month

Nobody on my team can use window functions in SQL so sometimes I also say I’m “working on refactoring for efficiency” and mark off a day or two on my calendar. I’ve also gotten away with screen-shotting errors from the command line from connecting to GCP since I know nobody can read it and it seems complicated

Wow are y'all hiring? I know window functions 😂

A bit against the crowd here, but the fact that OP seems to have to justify time using technical buzzwords suggests that some people are suspicious.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.
