IT youth automates all their work, every day only works 10 minutes and then plays games, still receiving a salary of more than 2 billion VND/year

Tram Ho

If you work, you can eat, if you don’t work but still want to eat, you just need to automate the whole job, then go to the office to sit for 8 hours, receive a salary at the end of the month. That is the working style of redditor nicknamed Throwaway59724 for more than 1 year. Based on his knowledge and programming skills, this guy has made IT job with an income of 90,000 USD/year more leisurely and easier than ever.

Sharing on the sub-reddit r/antiwork (or roughly translated as “the association of people who don’t like working”), Throwaway59724 said: “ I work in a mid-sized law firm as a specialist. IT, which specializes in handling digital evidence in the courts they participate in ”.

My company is in the process of changing its digital evidence management system to a cloud computing platform. They want me to be the only one with access and management of the server, everyone else will be restricted to view only. It sounds like a no-brainer, but I’ve realized that’s the only job I have to do here for eight hours a day. To be honest, it’s not that complicated and time-consuming, so most of the time I just sit in my office and pretend I’m working .”

Just need to write the code to automate the entire work process, this young IT guy only needs to do 10 minutes a day (illustration image).

“Then the Covid pandemic broke out and I asked to work from home. I set up a remote workstation, connected to my personal computer, and this is where things started to get interesting. In about a week, I wrote code to automate my entire workflow, thoroughly testing and fixing any possible bugs with this code.

“It basically scans new files on the site, generates hashes for them, transfers them to the cloud, and then regenerates the hashes for fidelity (in court, you have to prove it). your digital proof has not been tampered with)”.

“Every day, I finish timekeeping and play video games or do private work. At the end of the working hours, I check the logs to make sure the whole automation process is stable and smooth and then finish the job. I only sit at my desk for about 10 minutes a day.”

“I also felt guilty at first, like I was destroying this law firm. However, after that, I reassured myself with the thought that as long as everyone is satisfied, everything will be fine. I am doing the right task, the right task that they give me. Everything is completed on time, and I have more time to enjoy my life. Both sides benefit. Also, if they fire me, I just need to remove my code. I run it on my home computer so without me they wouldn’t be able to automate their work.”

User Throwaway59724 said there is nothing wrong with the company as long as the business is still going smoothly.

Besides, Throwaway59724 also shared: “ I don’t hate my boss. On the contrary, the boss is quite nice, on the other hand, each one is not very tech-savvy. Nor have I ever worked with, or even met, other attorneys in the firm. I am under the management of the administrative team because they do not have their own IT department.”

“I don’t think this is lazy behavior. I also have my own projects that I am pursuing, but perhaps I should not discuss that in this article.”
