'I automated my job over a year ago and haven't told anyone': IT specialist spends all day playing video games after perfecting automated system for his entire job

Automating repetitive tasks is a common approach to maximizing efficiency and productivity in the workplace, but this IT specialist may have been more focused on serving his own interests rather than those of his company.

It's hard not to marvel at this guy's ability to automate his daily tasks and responsibilities so effectively that all he needed to do day in and day out was sign on for ten minutes. The rest of his morning and afternoon was comprised of video game playing. Hey, before you judge, this guy clearly is living his life the way he wants to without even hurting his company.

Let's be real: there are far too many individuals out there who spend the majority of their work days procrastinating or straight up shirking their responsibilities entirely. It's not like this guy was actively ignoring his KPIs or anything like that. In fact, one could argue that he was so good at his job that he managed to successfully pull this off without anyone finding out for a full year.

Even to this day, no one within his department or company at large has ever raised a single concern about his work ethic. Hats off to him!

Most folks obviously would not be able to pull this off as well as this author did. After all, they might managers breathing down their necks or in-person meetings and far too many check-ins to be able to coast like that. Still, we can all live vicariously through this man's achievements. Even if they ever figure out what he's been up to all day, it's not like they can prove that he wasn't technically doing his job.
