If you automated 95% of your job, but still had to report to an office/cubicle, what would you do with your (40hrs)time? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Quite the opposite. My higher ups enjoy their manual admin work as it's the only peaceful part of their day. They do joke about making me do it, but when I insist they allow me to so I can improve and automate it they are quite quick to silently go back to their office XD

well, it runs and accounts for every erroneous potential I can think of...but I see there is clearly much more work to be done. Thank you for the new set of challenges

I've always wanted to contrib to the floss world, but I don't understand how one gets skilled enough to push good code...

Well put. This was exactly the answer I was needing to get going after a few ideas I have for a blog-like thing.

I know there's already too much content on the Web, but it's still something I'd like to try and hopefully begin failing better at. Gracias!

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

I'm somewhat confused by your comment. I automated my tasks because I got tired of typos and having to remember the processes of things. if I just fully script the process, I don't have to remember or do anything XD

Is this your way of saying you work more or less than 40? lol

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 :/
