I work in IT and we have truly self steering teams without formal hierarchy. Not everyone is used to it and IT people can be interesting characters, so it’s quite a process to get the team to perform well.

Not a job but a internship that recently ended.

Helping Ex-entrepreneurs with getting their administration right and filling taxes for them (with them). The unfortunate thing is that they’re usually heavily in debt, varies between 15k to 80k.

After we help them, they can go into an official project - to help them pay the debt for 3 years and the rest will be waived.

However the interesting part is majority of these people refuse to actually participate well. Often not coming to appointments, refusing to pick up calls or text back. Even though what we do is free. They don’t have to pay anything for our help.

The amazing thing is whenever we actually manage to help people, some of them really show gratitude. Such as baking stuff for us, purchase cake and such. One time, a woman even cried out of gratitude and another time told me his life story which was wild (as in nearly died but stayed alive).

It was an stressful but very interesting internship.

well, I’m still in the training process, but I’ll be drawing blood. I think that’s interesting as hell!

Seeing how the banking industry runs on the inside. I work in ATM rigging. Banks operate in a state of complete chaos if you were wondering. I’ve never seen an industry where money wasted/lost just doesnt matter to them. Join a credit union. Seriously.

For people at large, nothing. I’m a data engineer. Eyes immediately gloss over when I tell them. I do have a tool that is a one stop shop potential violation of PII rules.

The online training videos at my workplace use the same artificial lady voice as the tutorial lady voice in the game Hypnospace Outlaw.

That i get to travel Australia to all these remote places.

And i get to go on container ships sometimes and always get lost

I design lots of things that go to space

From an outsider’s perspective it would be the places that I work - which I am not going to reveal in any detail to avoid doxing myself, but include nationally and internationally important historical and archaeological sites.

From my perspective, although they are certainly interesting and I love working at them, it doesn’t play a particularly prominent role in what I do day-to-day, so it would be the wide range of problem solving involved: I lead a team dealing with maintenance, compliance and health & safety for a national charity.

I get to pet a lot of dogs

I film blind people for a living. Hearing their stories is always so inspiring.

I also film puppies, so could be worse!

I get to play with pills

Professional vampire. Noice

Do I need one or two of my ADD pills to make this shit bearable
