This person fully automated their $90K IT job and the boss still hasn't noticed

Just imagine being able to fully automate your job so you can play games all day, without your boss ever finding out. That's what one clever Redditer did, using their coding skills to turn their $90,000-a-year IT job into a leisure-filled funfair, for the past year plus.

The job in question is just some super simple, highly repetitive work involving the transfer and verification of thousands of digital documents and photos to the cloud. OP notes, «I quickly realized this was the only task they expected me to perform in my 8-hour shift. This was in no way an 8-hour job, so I was stuck pretending to work at the office most of the time.»

The script is just «a few lines of code written in notepad,» but it's opened up OP's entire day for more important tasks. Now living a life of leisure, Throwaway59724 outlines their daily routine:

«I clock in every day, play video games or do whatever, and at the end of the day I look over the logs to make sure everything ran smoothly… then clock out. I'm only at my desk maybe 10 minutes a day.»

After some commenters accuse them of being lazy, OP later clarifies that the 'whatever' portion is in reference to «a passion project that I work on during
