I don’t get people like this. I’m currently underemployed and it’s one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s almost as depressing as being unemployed for me. I’d much rather be productive and have something to actually contribute instead of wasting my time and my life away.
I’m in a similar situation at the moment where my team is pretty unorganized, most employees are from an external company, and noone bothers to explain shit to me, even after I asked several times already. Plus, because of unenforced rules, it’s basically 100% home office and noone is ever present, even if I go in the office. I COULD just do nothing and pretend like I’m working all of the time, noone ever contacts me anyway. But that would genuinely make me wanna die.
I’m already feeling super useless most of the time and try to chew through old legacy code to at least gain an understanding of the project. It’s somewhat working, but it’s tough to keep up my motivation. Overall I kinda oscillate between feeling useless and frustrated because I’m just not as productive as I would want to be as an employee.
Anyway, I’m already sending out CVs to other job offers. This is not the ideal life for me and I don’t plan on keeping it going for longer than necessary.

Some people don’t dream of, or need, labor. I know I don’t. I have enough hobbies to keep me entertained forever.
Yeah same here.

I think the whole “still getting enough money to survive” really makes a difference in how the unemployed see themselves
yeah I am the same as you. I can’t respect anyone who slacks that hard
Happens when you’re not proud of what you’re contributing to. Probably most workers, tbh.
