I once spent a solid work week doing nothing but read webcomics, keep colleagues from working by walking around to chat with them and go to lunch. People are so much more productive in the office, right?
I’m sure you know this but it’s about control and the middle manager emotional validation of seeing a bunch of people “working” at their stations.
I also do only the minimum required to keep my job, just like how they pay the absolute minimum to prevent me from quitting. It’s just business. It’s not like there’s a reward for working harder.
Oh, I know. Control, keeping the expensive real estate full, and other bullshit reasons.
