I literally just said "Nothing from my end" on a zoom call. Still waiting on my million dollars though so not sure how reliable this method is.

- andrelaszlo 1y agoOnce you realize that this task is massively parallelizable, you're all set!
- Cthulhu_ 1y agoPoint me to these "nothing on my end" jobs and I will write software and make recordings that trigger the phrase at the right moment, lol
- RajT88 1y agoI definitely know people who do almost nothing (they mostly show up to meetings and don't talk), and get paid really well because they can tell stories decently about their impact, and nobody seemingly has the stomach to throw them under the bus. I get paid better than them for sure, but I'm also at risk of getting laid off because of the practical upshot of being a top contributor. I am sure I will eventually get laid off, and they will outlast me at this company. The tech industry is insane. While my "Nothing from my end" joke was tongue-in-cheek, it's parodying a very real dynamic.
- Yhippa 1y ago> I'm also at risk of getting laid off because of the practical upshot of being a top contributor Can you explain this to my pea brain?
- RajT88 1y agoLayoffs which are for cost savings sometimes target people with high salaries, because you can save more money with a single person being laid off. Those types of layoffs target the top earners and bottom performers. I have seen it. People who have been with the company for decades, people who were principal level, people who always had awesome performance reviews.

- arduanika 1y agoThe point is that if you do the boring job and save for long enough, and you'll reap the benefits of compound disinterest.
- RajT88 1y agoTakes longer for some than others. Depends on your job title.
- BeFlatXIII 1y agoThat's why you stack up more than one at a time. Simulcast the “nothing on my end” to both your J1 and your J3.
- throaway920181 1y agoI'd say a small (single digit) percentage of people are able to accumulate $1.5 million over "a few" (2-3) years of working, but maybe I'm out of touch.
- strken 1y agoI would have thought a few meant 3 to 5, although I still agree that the number of people who could do it is small.
- skeeter2020 1y ago"couple" and "few" are debatable, but thanks to Survivor we know definitively that "several" means seven.
- happyopossum 1y agoCouple is not really debatable - it has a definition that includes 2. Not 2 or 3, or any more than 2. Just 2.
- aspenmayer 1y agoWhat if you have a couple of couples? I think if it’s a couple, meaning two, that a couple couples could be two of however many the original couple is for the first couple, and the third one might couple with both members of the original couple, so I could see three as being a couple to a certain reading, though paradoxically four seems like one too many unless they are two couples of either one or a couple of kinds.
