A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)
Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/
Look for another job; I despise being in the office to begin with, and being bored in the office is an insufferable hell. Reading and listening to music is ok, but I prefer to do that at home.
I did apply to jobs for a good while, but I’m overly invested with my current employer since I’ve already been here for 10+ years. Not to mention AI has wreaked serious havoc on the hiring sector of things
You may want to future proof your career path. Eventually they will figure out that you automated your workflow. What else can you do in the future for them to kep paying you? What orher skills would other employers demand from you in the future? With AI in the mix, what skills you can use that won’t be affected by the emerging technology?
