I am really bored in my job. How do you guys deals with the boredom of your daily dull routine and work?

Software Architect

Boreddddddddd- Grapevine

Being someone who gets bored easily, I don't have that urge, or lets say am reluctant to start work everyday (analytics - not a fresher). 
Keeping switching aside, what's something I could do to find ownership? If not for turning this to something extremely interesting, least I wouldn't want to go through this every morning. 

I understand there's many out there doing it just for the money. Apne koi turning points he tho share kardo yaar, kuch try kar lete hein. It's Monday tomorrow :(

Bored at Work

Data Analyst

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Curious to know what to do folks here do in their working hours when they are having a chill workload week/day in a WFH setup.

I just hopelessly wait for some ping or adhoc task to come up and end up wasting the whole time scrolling the phone.

What to do when bored during working hours

DevOps Engineer

I am currently working at an early stage startup as a software engineer and have been working here since around couple of years full time and an internship prior to that. I am getting a decent salary and the work environment is also good.

But While I write this, I have started feeling stagnated and bored at work and feel that I am not growing in career. This is one reason that has led to me start slacking off at work and take long time to complete tasks.😓

However, I don't want this to continue and thus am here for advice. I am trying to apply to various companies but only to receive rejections. Not even getting an interview call. I am planning to prepare for MBA and the exam is in November. But since folks usually prepare for MBA alongwith job so it means I should continue my job if I want to do so which is another problem for me. I am even confused if I want to an MBA since only the product management role out of it attracts me and not the consulting/investment banking once. So I am not sure if I should even do an MBA. 😒

I discussed this with my parents and they asked me to leave job and prepare for UPSC. Honestly, I have some interest in the exam and the job is great as well no doubt but being 26 years old I am not fully sure of taking this call  since it involves a lot of risk.

All this has been causing lot of conundrum in my brain and it would be really helpful if anyone can suggest any things that I am missing out or that can be simplified.🙏

Looking for career advice

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Hey Viners, how do we tackle Monotony in an Ops role where we have to do the same thing again and again and there is no real work and growth . I feel kinda numb by it and creativity takes a hit . How do we tackle the depression arising from a very boring and montonous work ? 

Please advise, 
Job market down so finding other job openings became very hard !! 

How do we escape from this Mind Numbing Ops work and transition to something better like Engineering, Analytics etc.

Monotony in job !!

Software Engineer

Am I the only one who likes working from office (Bengaluru)? I go to office every day, and it helps me to be more productive.

- There will be no distractions
- Team mates will be around, and if there is any queries, I can straight away ask them rather than typing a message or setting up a call
- Occasional chit chats
- Having lunch together
- being a part of all the conversations happening
- Managers works from office - a good rapport with him as well

- Free food
- Free Transport (can mates - another plus point)
- Good work set-up

- Meet new people almost every day
- Build/deepen real connections every day
- Interact with folks starting from entey level to senior directors or VPs regularly (L1 - L9 is the range mentioned here)


FYI: I moved to Bengaluru for work, although I've the option to work completely remote. 

One of my team member even mentioned that he has not yet been able to connect with the team member who has joined before me, like how he could connect with me.

I understand that once people have family, it will be difficult to manage everything. One of my team mate actually mentioned that, he used to do/manage everything properly before Covid, but it's kind of not easy/lazy since Covid.

I also realise that not everyone has the above perks, but still. 

Commute can be an issue. I travel 50+ KMs every day to and fro. I start by 7 am in the morning to morning traffic, and take around 75 minutes in the evening (I can survive the traffic without having to use my mobile 😂)

I do miss my family frequently, but I do have the flexibility to go home and stay a few days when I want. Staying alone in a service apartment is the only disadvantage as of now.

Working from Office

Product Manager

Hi everyone, I joined a energy company as a Risk Analyst in BLR with CTC of 13 as a fresher, but the work is not very good and engaging, I am just killing my time everyday and not doing anything productive, thinking of switching, any suggestions !

Bored with the work

Context: I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience.

Everytime I work with a bunch of engineers (Especially Indian Startups). Most of them are workaholics.

They are just working for some company full-time. They are interested in learning more about technology, making jokes about technology, following technology news, etc. 

That is it. 

No social life. (Especially after Covid). No skills in any other part of life.

Their comfort zone is so small that they have developed a lifestyle of working, sleeping & watching something on laptops and that's it.

They make an excellent salary but don't do anything else. 

Every time I meet a 35-40-year-old software engineer, it is just a physically unfit guy with an arranged marriage who is boring as a brick.

Are most Software Engineers boring outside work?

I am in my late 20s and I feel attacked. Thank you for striking the right chord 
  
 I've come to realize that, like many software engineers, I've found myself navigating the monotony of an 8-hour job, often feeling isolated from my office peers. It can be challenging when people hesitate to open up, but the reasons for this became clear. 
  
 There are two key aspects at play: a minimal social life and prioritizing work. These factors are interconnected. In late 20s, the circle of friends tends to shrink, and individuals are busy setting up their own lives, leading to growing distances. With limited time for each other, it's easy to become engrossed in work life. I didn't anticipate that making friends would become a challenge, and I acknowledge this as a personal objective (read OKR) for myself. Despite being an extrovert, reinitiating the trust and friendship path can be difficult. 
  
 To address this, I've proactively connected with people, stepped out of my comfort zone, and initiated new activities. It's a challenging process, and sometimes it feels like I'm overdoing it, but the effort is rewarding. Engaging in activities beyond my job role, such as joining a gym or participating in public discussions, has been beneficial. I've also reduced my time on social media, realizing that platforms like Instagram reels consume a significant portion of my time. 
  
 I'd like to urge understanding for people in their late thirties. Having once criticized the habits of those in their late twenties when I was in my early twenties, I now comprehend the challenges of their situation. Unexpectedly, I find joy in shopping for groceries and organizing them neatly. It's all about priorities, and embracing change has made a significant positive impact in my life.

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I believed in the mission so much that I overlooked the actual job description. Now I'm stuck doing tedious work for a cause I care about. Has anyone found a way to inject excitement into a dull role?

I took a job at a company whose values I admire, but the day-to-day work is mind-numbingly boring. How do you balance purpose with engagement?

Anyone getting bored?

Technical Consultant

I mean what are some of hobbies that you are doing

be it health-wise, sports, trips, other activity ?

something that add an extra layer of intrest in your life, that break monotonous working vibe 

reduce pressure of always being productive 

Hoping for good variety of answers 😅
something that I can adopt

What do you do other than work ?

So I am working at a startup for around a year now. Everyday I see, it feels, what am I really doing? Where is the life headed? 
    Doing bare minimum or doing your tasks and fucking off isn't enough. It's expected that we outgrow constantly, as if it's this work that we can always think about and nothing else. At the end, am wondering if it's still worth it?
    1 day it feels that let's just quit it! Next day I feel, okay, I do want the money. 

I ain't looking for suggestions here, just wanted to see if anyone else felt this way

Getting increasingly bored of work at startup

Been there, but money is very important especially for a middle class family, for most of us we are earning 5x more than our parents at least and have huge expectations from families to provide them with good life

Consultant

I am bored when writing code, more on WFH days. 
Even if I get a 5-minute break, I look for more work or scroll social media. I don't leave my brain free for a moment. Always doing or consuming something, not in a healthy way. One thing leads to another and post-nut clarity hits. 

I have joined a gym. I am trying to be regular. 

I am trying to learn new technologies but no success.

Bored, while working

This is like - I'll kill myself preemptively as someone else is planning to kill me.

Fired because manager thought they might leave

Have you ever felt that you are bored with the job....

Sometime it feels what's next - the goal was to get a good job and earn well but after 2-3 years it feels what's next... The excitement is not there tbh that we had the first day.

Anyone who has similar thoughts and how to find what's next...

What's Next?

Marketing Manager

Done with my end-sem, and started building projects and learning new concepts for like 15hr+/day, but now it's getting boring for me(I like working on projects) no physical interactions with friends just sitting in a room and coding😩. bruh sometimes I like watching series, movies, and animes but now that's also getting me bored.

Any suggestion what you all do in such time? I wanted to be productive, spend time where boredom can be escaped but also get some productive output.🫂

Bored After college exams

It's more than 1 month now without a job and I waste a lot of time watching YT and stuff. I don't have any other thing to do (than preparing for interviews). How do you guys spend your time?

Age - 22
Previous TC (in hand) - 16 LPA

How do you (jobless) guys spend your time?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

The title is pretty self explanatory but I'd like to give some additional context.

I work at one of the stable, good biz unicorns of India. Good WLB, chill manager and work recently started to get interesting ( I joined ~10 months back). I have been getting bigger tasks and asked to look at the overall processes and monitoring.

The reason I'm looking for new roles is not because I'm a prick and too good for WFO but I've come from working for a seed stage startup for ~1.5 years. So, whatever work I get here I do it in 1/2 or sometimes 1/3rd the discussed timeline and mostly the rest of the time goes in playing office politics (design, product clarifications, minor updates and QA signoffs) which I strongly believe can be done from home. 

Tl;dr - I get bored in the office and feel like I can use this time to learn something, build something or you know just some zazza 💀

TC - 22 + 3 (I believe decent for 2 yoe?)

Mandatory WFO - Should I look out for new roles?

Frontend Engineer

I was in a remote job from 2020, until last year where I was laid off in November. Then when I started searching for new companies my priority was to work on site, but again I got a remote job.
My problem is living in the house 24*7 make it dull after sometimes and you forgot the line between personal life and work life. All I did was waking up in the bed and then opening laptop and vice versa in the night. Plus you don't have social interaction. Now I have become an introvert living in my own room and it takes enormous energy to go out and meet people. Is remote job really worth it wasting my 20's sitting in the home ? 
How are you folks coping up with this thing?

Is remote job better than WFO

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Some days going to office just feels like I am just existing to show up. 

Anybody feeling the same way?

Just Showing Up

Yeah Same Bro, My Office lacks a culture of keeping folks motivated, it fails to give a reason for people to come to office. No office parties or informal catch-ups for over a year makes it worse.
