watching this while at work. pretending to be busy so I do not get fired.

[ZEUS_God]

Office work environment is essentially group projects from high school. A majority of people fake it, and like 2 people actually get the job done. 😂😂

[JamesDaniel]

I was just promoted to an office job and thats correct, nobody does anything

[aidanc]

My sister worked for the Canadian government. After a coworker threatened to kill her, she was made to work from home indefinitely. They gave her about 2-3 hours of work per day to do. She complained she didn’t have enough work to do and her manager told her to stfu because most people would kill to be in her position. She made 85k with a dope pension. Used her extra time to study for the mcats and is now a doctor lol

An office never pays you to do work. It pays you to be ready to do work.

[Warriormedic]

What's crazy is almost every "essential employee" that was REQUIRED to keep society functioning during the pandemic, almost every single one of them outside of a hospital made less than 100k a year.
The people who are absolutely essential to society make less than 100k a year. So everyone who makes a ton of money.... why.

[duanescot]

It's so true, worked construction to my late 20s, walked off a job doing sheet rock and into an office Job at Microsoft and simply couldn't believe they actually paid you MORE for sitting on your ass, ended up working 4 or 5x harder than everyone else in the office because it was so dam easy, and became a star employee, 14 hour days were cake vs humping doubled up sheets of rock upstairs all dam day....

[PoohhNani]

I worked in kitchens, construction and trash all my life and that is such hard work. Every single minute is balls to the wall hard work. Now I work somewhere in an AC building, get multiple paid 15 min breaks, hour lunch, and I basically just walk for miles all day. And I get paid the same. So I can work 80 hours in a week and it feels like 25 hours at my old jobs and I get paid basically 3 or 4 times the amount with equal effort. Those hard labor man jobs are crazy difficult and I respect every single person who does that full time. Especially for years on end. Big ups to the men and women that make America run

[SleepyGameFacts]

I own a window cleaning biz and did an office building yesterday. The whole time I was there I heard employees just talking and not doing shit. Couldn't believe that their boss just allowed them to get paid for nothing.

[spartan]

Bro, I spent the last 10 years as a firefight and just got an office job 8 month ago and it’s driving me insane. NOTHING is important and nobody does anything. I feel like me and 1 other dude are the only ones that do anything, and the only reward for hard work is MORE work, not more pay. I hate it. I’m going back to the FD in a couple weeks.

[Patson]

Yep, i took a side job working security at a manufacturing facility and our office was in the office which was also the regional office for the company. We had cameras everywhere and talked alot with the managers so we had a solid picture of what everyone was doing... and they never did much of anything. After a while i swapped to doing that full time and became the site manager which meant participation in daily department head meetings and corporate calls. Literally we would have meetings to figure out a topic, then schedule a meeting to discuss a topic, then schedule a meeting to make a plan for solving the topic, then a meeting to discuss the action groups for the topic, then a meeting to implement the topic. Now its been 2 months of constant meetings for a problem that could have been solved in 2 min. Literally all most office and corporate work is drawing out or creating problems to give them something to do to justify their position and high salaries. Like yall are complaining about how busy you are and how many meetings but youre the ones who decided to create 7 meetings for a single topic that could have been decided by just you instantly.

[craiglammas-go]

Couldn’t think of anything worse then clock watching all day and not doing anything, hard physically work gives you a feeling that’s hard to match.

[PresidentDrPeper]

Yeah growing up working with my roofing dad during fall and spring breaks makes everyone look lazy as hell

[cbrock]

Growing up is realizing that most people phone in their job not just office workers. Every job I’ve ever worked in had at least someone slacking off. Once you become good enough at your job to either get caught up on the backlog of work to do or realize you can coast then you realize that every job has some form of down time and the fucked up part is that the jobs with the least downtime are the grunt jobs because everyone above you will “delegate” there work to you. Some jobs have more built in downtime then others, but once you’ve been there long enough you can find where people can get away with slacking off. It’s real eye opening though when you become old enough to see who in your own family is slacking off vs who is actually getting work done this is the main reason why no one ever wants to explain to you what they actually do for work

[secureinmyrandom]

I have a friend who is a branch manager at a bank. Has her own office and everything.

Half the time she is playing on her phone or computer. Probably at least 4 or 5 times a day she calls her husband and talks for 5-10 minutes. She's always sending links and posts and stuff.

Then she goes home and complains about being tired from work all day while me and her husband work longer days out in the heat, cold, rain, snow, and all other weather.

[NK]

I’m 31. Been blue collar since I was 16, assembly line the past 11. Just about to start an office job and I’m nervous af. 😂 this makes me feel better.

[JamesRockefeller]

Imagine what the world would be like without corruption, waste, or war. Humanity working together to create the best world possible

[dennishenderson]

I watch so much YouTube on the clock it's crazy

[vman]

I have ADHD and I would hate that. I gotta be busy otherwise my brain says “let’s leave, buy a 6 pack and a bottle of wine and go home”
