A general question that happens to be my predicament at current. I’m a general safety admin/manager that has automated most of my tasks(emails/excel sheets)
Most days I doomscroll fediverse and lurk irc/matrix channels on the work desktop but am curious about more practical or useful things I should be doing instead. It’s looking like this will be my life for a good while since job market is abysmal and promotions are hyperstagnate(have also hit a wall in improving my scripts). If anyone has any similar experiences, please share and advise, as I feel quite lost and trapped :/


I teach machining in Scandinavia.
Lathe and mill, both manual and CNC. ISO programming, CAD drawing, etc. The studens are have 32,5 hours of school (including breaks), and I rarely give them homework. I have, in theory, 4,5 hours of preparations per week, but I don’t use it.
Students are happy. 4 gift baskets from 9 classes in the four years I’ve worked there.
