@Dr_Obvious @mike @gsuberland Nope. When that happens I just quit. Spent a year as VP Engineering with a staff of 30. Fixed all sorts of problems, made a bunch of unsatisfied customers happy, put in systems to keep things running, got bored, quit before I started to mess up.
And there is the downside for me: the lean periods between heroic saves. Gig work before it was called gig work.
@alan @mike @gsuberland
Fully relateable. I have, although I am young, quite a lot of job descriptions collected. Often it became too boring or too many tasks I just couldn't find motivation for.
I am currently working in a 24/7 high tech production environment. That often leads to panic fire fighter mode reactions where I can shine. That compensates a lot of boring tasks.
