Comment on What do office workers actually do?
Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours agoHoly shit, it’s been forever since I’ve seen this and… that’s me now. When I don’t work from home, that’s exactly what I do. My office has a little room for privacy, so I’ll just go lay in there randomly for a while. I take 15-20 minute shits multiple times a day. I listen to podcasts all day, or watch videos. When I work from home, I’m usually in bed chilling for 7+ hours a day.
I do between “the most work of all of my coworkers in a day” and “as much as everyone else combined” and it’s completely fucking bonkers. I haven’t had a day in months where I didn’t do the most stuff out of anyone.

What field?? Like what are you supposed to be doing instead of watching videos for 7 hours. It’s crazy to me that so much time can be wasted without a manager realising or caring…

Oh it’s insane. I work for a nonprofit, doing basic database management. My manager is… interesting. It’s a small team. Two of my coworkers are good, they do about as much as I do. Two coworkers do nothing at all.
Like legit, we can quantity the work we do. I’ll do 30-50 work per day, staying in bed for seven hours. The two bad coworkers will, even working in the office, do 8-12 work per day.
Our manager has started to cover doing work for those two. Our manager does 20-30 work per day.
It’s a fucking bonkers job. But on the weeks I’m at comes it’s AWESOME. Being in the office is shit, and the two bad coworkers make it worse. I have a group chat with the people who do good work and we lament about the bad workers. It’s kinda toxic, I guess. But at least I get to chill a lot and the pay isn’t bad.

You better hop the Bobs don’t come through your place of work looking to make changes.

Oh it’s insane. They spent like 10-20k USD to have us audited and they were like “you need better or more people” and NOTHING CHANGED
I HAD SO MUCH HOPE
