Comment on What do office workers actually do?
IronKrill@lemmy.ca 6 hours agoWhat 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

You must be living in the Twilight Zone at this point.
