It’s not just a job, it’s an…unpaid job, I guess. So, maybe more like a work-from-home internship? With a really strict code of conduct administered by a mogwai, a cat, a beach bum, an icon from a different video game company, and an assortment of Empires & Puzzles characters.
The bosses only ever give feedback via “likes.” And even when I document my work, everybody argues about it. People also seem really confused about the difference between logic, statistics and other more extracurricular activities like cheerleading.
Ok, that part may actually be pretty similar to normal paid work. I’ve literally known a senior executive who described simple, dirt-standard linear regression as “like doing triple integrals or something.” Not that I’m bitter or anything.
Plus, there are random, capricious debates over the most insane subjects ever. And there’s literally a published guide on how to stalk your co-workers.
Actually. I think I have a new complaint now…
