Sandbagging at a dead end job

My girlfriend is working in SaaS and kind of hates her job. Org is run terribly, firing people on emotion, looks like the ship is sinking fast.


She's looking at new jobs right now, but the market is tight. Her boss loves her, and she has to do minimal effort to hit quota (like 2 hours a day)


On the one hand, she does nothing and gets paid decently. On the other hand, she is bored out of her skull and wants to get invested in something.


What are the thoughts on sandbagging at an org that you know is failing, still being able to hit quota, but not being challenged and potentially having a happier day to day

Im starting a side hustle and train 2x per day as I’m preparing for a fight, plus my full time job.

There’s so much stuff to do, learn and accomplish and you have an extra 6 hours to do so, on top of the free time you already get with a regular job. Take advantage of it!

Been there - sandbag away. She's already looking, and is doing what it takes to stay on target.

Sandbag like hell. Pick up a hobby. Read a book. Enjoy the outdoors.

Considering the market, I'd suggest continue with this job only for a decent source of income; but you can always have a side hustle or assignments that would challenge your thinking process !

Do let us know what happens at the end! :)

Be fearless. You're NEVER "bothering" someone. You're asking them to do their job.
