“Should I Confess?”: Woman Automates Her Job, Gets Paid To Do Nothing 90% Of The Time

For many workers, repetitive tasks like entering data into spreadsheets can be a nuisance. In fact, in a 2021 survey, 94% of American workers said they perform time-consuming, repetitive tasks in their roles. And 65% say they’re less stressed after they’re able to automate these tasks.

Recently, one woman shared how she barely does any work after automating 90% of her daily tasks. Now she is wondering whether she should fess up to her boss about slacking off for most of the day or just accept it and spend the time doing something she likes.
