At work...

[polarmystery]

Any body else here chill in a cube and read the internet and AT pages all day? Cube life makes me fall asleep

:beer:

 

[Anubis]

yes i get paid to read AT forums and the WoW forums, among other things

 

[mrCide]

yep

 

[AmpedSilence]

thats been my life for the last two weeks. It kinda blows. I wish i had something to do at work.

 

[shortylickens]

I wish, but no.

When I go to breaks and lunch I always see a few people in the exact same place reading the exact same book (much further along) the entire shift.

I would love to have their jobs. I've actually gotta work for a living and I hate it.

How much do you get paid?

Nope, we're not allowed to have a union.
Its not the entire shift of 250 people mind you.
Its about 3 or 4 lucky bastards who really dont have that much to do for 12 hours. They can take of everything in the first 2 and then chill the rest of the night, or they can balance it out and look super busy when the managers arrive in the morning.

 

[Gunslinger08]

I generally work for 98% of my day, minus my required lunch and breaks. Sometimes we don't have a lot of work to be done, so the percentage will drop.

 

[meltdown75]

wtf does union job have anything the F to do with anything

ffs.

< in a cube reading AT ON MY BREAK OMG A UNION WORKER OMG OMG OMG

 

[Scarpozzi]

I worked 12 hours over my workday last Friday so I'm taking flextime today.

I have my moments of reading ATOT at work, but there are plenty of times that I don't get that luxury.

MotionMan

Product Engineer...
Design swbd drawings in AutoCAD
$50k+ including benefits


I think I work maybe 10 hours a week max doing 'acutal work'

 

[TruePaige]

My job is great. I get a very relaxed environment 90+% of the time, I feel like I'm making a difference (Part of the state-wide cooperative extension) get paid what I think is decent (though not an ATOT 100k salary or anything =p), in 2 1/2 more months my University COLT Union membership kicks in. I get to post, have a bit of fun, and also make some custom deployment servers / travel / work on the Active Directory. =D

I mentioned union work because even if there is no work for someone making $30 an hour to do a job a trained monkey could do, rather than say "sorry guys we have no work for you for the next 2 days, go home without pay" they, by contract, get to come in and just read a book or something for their shift, all the while making $30 an hour...

 

[antyler]

Im not even in a cube, and i get to be on ATOT. Its slow at my place of work, so I have to make the day go buy. And boy does it drag.

 

[lokiju]

I neff in between work or while working or while slacking or on lunch or whenever else I feel like it.

 

[Xavier434]

Yup, and everyone here still thinks I am a miracle worker.

 

[AmpedSilence]

my contract is ending in three weeks, so my workload is starting to disappear. I sit on OT much more than i used to

 

[Ronstang]

And people wonder why their jobs are being sent to China/India/any other 3rd world country where the people are hungry to work.
