Imagine being an op-ed writer for the financial post and complaining that other people aren't doing work.
I literally have one of those water dippy birds fooling the time tracking software that im not afk.
Ours takes random screenshots. And monitors keyboard activity. Luckily, It's not on my personal computer.
These people have never moved rocks for 10 hours while the homeowner sat and watched from the deck you fucking built making sure you don't take too many water breaks.
Really loved hearing my watercooler friends point out road workers leaning on a spade for a second and disparage the working class, knowing they posted on reddit all day. Really sweet dissonance.
It's only logical on every level.
From memory, in Japan, there was a widespread practice of managers spending a few hours a week in menial roles. A good idea for all sorts of reasons.
I don't have to hide minesweeper from my cat like I used to from my boss when I actually had to go in the office, it's a big upgrade
I was actively looking for a new job because I hated how much time I spent trying to look busy in my awful grey cubicle, but it's tolerable now working from home. I learned my lesson not to work too hard at another office job, where my hard work was rewarded with even more work for no more pay.
I had one white collar job that was constant work. An IT Helpdesk for a very large organization. Incredibly understaffed, and hardly IT. More like, babysit boomers who refuse to learn the tools of their job and move tickets for the real IT guys to work them. Glad I'm done with that.
Oh I did something similar. My job was to 70% explaining the same people how one machine worked, which they used weekly and I wrote big notes on how to use it and glued it to the wall. Later I automated the need for the machine except once every year. Waste of life time.
What was the old joke the CIA said was from the SU? "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work?"
Boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime,
That's why I shitpost,
On Company time.
Wake and bake followed by half assing 6 hours of work isn't time theft it's coping.
When I got to work from home for a few months I did time theft like mad and it was so fucking cool. I’d work 2hr and take 8
Working from home: the proles aren't proling right! How can we whip them outside of striking distance?
If you’ve ever in your life complained about time “theft” I’m going to have to kindly but firmly ask you to face the wall
First the gulag. Then the wall for doing a time theft at the gulag.
Time theft is cool and good lmao of course i'm gonna do the dishes and watch porn while i'm clocked in, fuck off.
Time theft is fucking fake!! It’s just an excuse for the bosses to keep you working as they extract your surplus labor.
I'll care about employees 'stealing' time when they care about all the times employers have stolen my time.
