same here. I was in IT and totally free of babysitters. Then I took tech support just to work from home. Nobody watched a thing with me as long as I just kept my numbers up. Then a QA meeting with my boss made me just give up. I had been doing the same thing for 2 years and was fine, and even rewarded. I just decided it was time to move on and called out some things. Boss seemed cool about it. Actually I'm still able to log in and work. I was one of their top employees. My boss just was stressed with kids and a wife he can't afford and I'm more tech and know a job is waiting out there almost instantly for me. The work was boring and degrading and I was surviving until I was ready to leave and spoke up. Because my boss has no education and a wife and kids riding on this job and I'm far more employable and don't give a shit, he won the battle but I'll win the war....against shit jobs. Also, nice use of "shite". It's my goto.

Office work is social, not educated or worthwhile. It really has no meaning and will be automated by (future) software engineers like myself.

Headed out for my 3rd bomber almost equivalent to wine. Waited to sober up a bit to drive.
