Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, toxicity and dog-whistling are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

I’m a lab rat, and probably the best part of the job is being left the fuck alone. I do my job and I do it well. No one fucks with me, micromanages me, follows me around, talks to me…it’s bliss. Yeah the job itself is rewarding (materials testing for aerospace), and my coworkers are pretty chill. But I’m a guy who likes his solitude, and I get plenty of it.
Hate? The hours. I do a 55-hour work week which is grueling as hell. Doesn’t leave a whole lot of time or energy to do fun things in my free time. But the OT is where the money’s at and I’m not quite ready to give that up yet.
Can you elaborate on how one would get into this line of work? What the pay looks like, dont wanna intrude too much into your life, but it does sound like something I would consider.
Yeah fat OT checks can be addicting as hell.
