WFH hack | Worker admits 'playing games all day' after secretly automating their £66k job

An IT worker earning more than £66,000 per year claims to have built a programme to do their job for them, without their boss realising.

As reported by Gaming Bible, the anonymous worker claims to spend their days playing video games – all the while earning circa £66,000 ($90,000) after automating their job whilst working from home.

Posting on Reddit, the anonymous worker wrote: “I work for a mid-size law-firm that hired me as an IT specialist to handle all of their digital evidence for trials.

“The law-firm was in the process of changing their evidence managing system to [be] Cloud based, and wanted me to be the only person with admin access to the Cloud, everyone else would be limited to view only and would work on a local network drive.”
