Manufacturing, not a ton of behind the desk work required. What little office work is required is still often done on paper or on very manual entry heavy basic excel sheets.
I dont know why tech people always forget non tech jobs still exist. You definetely wouldn't get paid for just sitting in a chair unless you've cracked industrial line automation in a way that should have already made you a billionaire. Still more automation of any kind would also be a good thing in a lot of plants.
Controls engineer here. I will get to you eventually.
Pulling a tech worker move, i'd just convince the tech illiterate boss that the excel thingy is too complicated and that i should use all the time i have to handle it while i then make some software that handles that annoying part of the job until it becomes too important that someone has to maintain it. of course, i'd write no documentation so i only know how the program works, as a leverage in case they think it would be a good idea to fire me lmao.
At that point that's just fraud lmao.
I know xD that's tech industry for you
You clearly just don't understand manufacturing. They'd still be willing to fire you and make us use a paper and pencil. In fact if the techs that important then no it isn't because they don't trust it, and we're keeping paper backups anyway.
I know that because youre in tech you think you can "out smart" the guy who can build a house with a paper and pencil, but I promise that you aren't half as clever as you think you are.
