Office work might as well be marine biology to me. I have no idea what you people do. I did night security in an office complex for a while, and met a lot of people at the end of their shifts but I still had no idea what people were doing. I saw a lot of people on excel and a lot of people on Reddit, and people with random RGB light up keyboards and printed-memes on their desks and they looked like they weren’t really even doing anything.
I was looking at a job today and it says no experience required, need to use excel, and pay is good. So basically I still have zero idea what the job is.
I’m curious what this alien world is actually like.

u/Inexperiencedblaster wtf do these people do?
Share that job listing brother, sounds like heaven.
As a generic 正社員 事務 grunt, your job typically revolves around: data entry; filling out basic internal documents; creating supplement materials such as graphs or diagrams; answering phone calls that come to your department; etc. Whatever you’re tasked with on a given day.
It’s a generalist job that any average worker can do and very much a double-edged sword, as the flexibility means that you can be rotated through various departments and assignments at the whims of the higher-ups.
A ***lot*** of random paperwork circulates in and out of any average-sized corporation, and you need bodies to do it efficiently.
Watch office space, explains the various roles in a company in quite a lot of detail
well it’s not marine biology, it’s a slow death behind the keyboard. and the internal politics might start eating your insides, given time
I worked with them for a decade and still have no idea what they do. Kind of like privatized UBI?
