So at my company you can work from home if you have no meetings and what not. But whenever i do stuff like take a little break in my office and search a little stuff online, or I started drawing one day cause i finished all my work early and had nothing else on my queue. I have this senior member on my team jokingly but kinda truthfully commenting on my being a slacker like "You're not paid you do . . . " So for the christmas break a lot of workers are gone and my immediate manager will be gone for 3 weeks so she gave me all my assignments and told me i could work from home but be sure to be on call for any emergency issues. But this guy who is at the same level as my manager and report directly to my senior manger (this is the importnat guy) made a joke in an email to me about how i'm slacking at home. It makes me very incomfortable, but more scared. Like he watch when i'm on/off the office communicator (you can't set it to always be on, it will turn to away after a few minutes of no action on the computer). And because this guy is senior, my senior manager takes this guy's opinion very heavily. Funny thing is i thought i could get a little extra done around the house by working from home. But i'm working even harder than i normally would so I can't be caught 'slacking'
bah w/e man, join the slacker lifestyle. this sunday i worked 4 hours, 3 and a half of those hours i was browsing the internet after disabling the ol' company keylogger. I made 70 bucks for what was probably only 45 minutes of work. If your so worried about not having stuff to do at work, ask for more assignments. On a full 8 hour day i can usually blast through all the paperwork i need to do in about an hour and a half, and then unless i actively go out and ask for something that needs doin, all i can actually do is dogfuck for the rest of the day.
^ you must have bullshitted a shit storm during your job interview LOL well, that guy probably is a creep.... just stay as far away as you can!
^ Well it is their job watching the employees if they're working or not, even if you're finish... It just makes a bad image of yourself... Just don't let them catch you working... that's why I love the Alt Tab key =p
I went into work today cause of that uneasy feeling from yesterday (even though I"m suppose to be working from home all week) Lucky that i did. My senior manager DID send me an email asking if i was coming in at all this week. AND i found out one of my other coworkers was telling people i was OOF 'out of office' yesterday (because he thought that it also applied to if you were at meetings at another building or working from home) while everyone else thinks of OOF as on vacation. So people were probebly thinking WTF is this girl doing just randomly taking a day off when she didn't sign up for it I mean in this case it was an honesty mistake by my co-worker, but it's leaving me with an extra piece of aggrivation of having to clear up my name today.
surely if you did all your work on time, no one can say your slacking? so long as i meet all my bosses deadlines or beat em, no one can say crap even if i spend the odd hour surfing the net
I think you are right. I say i'm just too sensetive to people's comments but i did tell one of my coworkers and he said that if he was me he would feel equally uncomfortable
