Man Tricks His Employer By Using A Bot To Do His Night Shift For Five Years

There's a component of your job that's so boring you wish you could automate it, whether you're doing your dream job or grinding away in a cubicle somewhere in a high-rise. New issues, after all, necessitate modern answers.

And then there are some who transform their thoughts into reality. On the r/antiwork forum, Redditor u/Cynicusme revealed that he had been getting paid to 'do nothing' for the past five years.

The brilliant internet user took a nighttime data entry job and subsequently automated his own work. Everything was completed on schedule as a result of this.

All he had to do was periodically check to see if the code was still working. As a result, he could make a fair living while also having a lot of free time. And, let's face it, who doesn't fantasize about being in a position like that?

In speaking to the author of the post, u/Cynicusme, he said, "When I first got my job, it started to feel very repetitive. There was some decision-making, but it felt like there were only around eight to ten little decisions that had to be made. So, I started by automating the copying and pasting, which was the most tedious part of my job; then, there were some decisions based on pricing, order quantity, and location, all well-documented on a spreadsheet," he shared.

This Redditor is a genius who made use of all his brains and made money while doing nothing.

This man here spills the tea about how he earned his wages with ease.

u/Cynicusme

This job, in its own right, sounds so simple—no offense to those doing it.

u/Cynicusme

So this man spent his two months' salary so that he wouldn't have to do anything else for a lifetime.

u/Cynicusme

Now, working from home has its own advantages, and he made the best use of it.

u/Cynicusme

And with time, he even updated his AI so he didn't even need to spend those five minutes checking it.

u/Cynicusme

To tell the truth, the AI this person used was doing such a remarkable job.

u/Cynicusme

He didn't have to quit because he was technically doing nothing at all and still getting paid.

u/Cynicusme

Wow, making these alterations just so nobody notices is truly the mind of a highly intellectual person.

u/Cynicusme

This had me speechless, and this guy is on top of his game even though he is playing a dirty one.

u/Cynicusme

Four years—four long years—were needed to come up with new software to replace OP's data entry position.

u/Cynicusme

How could you even talk about it to someone while at work? If he told his family, they would have made him do another job for extra pay.

u/Cynicusme

The regional manager did miss out on something that could be really beneficial to the company.

u/Cynicusme

Exactly, and while doing this, he could have worked elsewhere to earn a double income.

u/Cynicusme

True that! It's like he needs to be insulted and appreciated at the same time.

u/Cynicusme

Well, this is technically not wrong; the company didn't specify how it had to be done—they just wanted it done, and he did it!

u/Cynicusme

He deserves a hats-off for pulling it off for five long years without anyone noticing it, and instead, he got a pay raise.

u/Cynicusme

Well, leaving the job would most definitely be heartbreaking because who doesn't want to earn while doing nothing?

u/Cynicusme

He did win it all while enjoying his life both during the day and at night!

u/Cynicusme

This guy is no less than a legend. The corporate world sucks our blood, but this guy refused to let his be sucked.

u/Cynicusme

Yeah, this easy job just grabbed the interest of all the people reading this article, and they might even try to do it at some point.

u/Cynicusme

So basically, he was working somewhere else, and his passive income just stopped.

u/Cynicusme

Well, this is no less than an innovation. And the good thing is, he nailed it every day!

u/Cynicusme

Some people do their jobs as directed and with a lot of honesty, which can be stressful and challenging at times and may drain all their energy. But some lazy legends try to find alternative ways to do their jobs correctly but with dishonesty.
