What do you do that you earn six figures?

It seems like a lot of people make a lot of money and it seems like I’m missing out on something. So those of you that do, whats your occupation that pays so well?

That's not accurate! Some of us have to make PowerPoints about what the software developers are doing.

You're slacking if it's only 25%.

My company overall uses Slack but IT uses Teams. Any time I join their standups or meetings I get irrationally angry at Teams.

The fact that there’s no compact mode and 3 messages take up the entire screen is infuriating alone lol

Slack is yet another tool.

u/FatFiredProgrammer Aug 13 '21

But if you subscribe to a lot of channels it can suck a lot of your time--- like reddit.

Yes! A HUGE timesucking tool!

I like to post my cat's pictures to my coworkers on Slack, so they won't feel like their time is wasted, and mine isn't either.

These are definitely helping my coworkers get their jobs done:
