I like to play this game called "what's the absolute smallest amount of work I can do without getting fired", and it's a lot harder to play computer games in the office without the "getting fired" bit...

But seriously, I mostly just adjusted my productivity down to that of my peers.

yeah continue to corrupt the young minds and when they fail on their first WFH try they bring back the WFO policies...

@We3D If they don't know what work ethics is, it's their fault and what they deserve.

Tip: send emails on Sunday, small effort and you'll look dedicated. Learned that from a manager

@retoor and make the automated to not have to think abt work on ur rest day 😁

@joewilliams007 of course

@evilskua another point of view. We call it "een hart voor de zaak hebben". "Have a heart for the business because the business is also hard for you"

@retoor lol at "hard for you"...

@atheist oh fuck, didn't get it that way. Hmm, does even translate the same. Never noticed

Dammit. Busted. Recently got a Switch and been using it intermittently during the day on a second monitor at home while working

@retoor the key here is getting things in people’s inbox Monday morning. Bc many of them will just start doing something on Monday and stretch that for a whole week. So if you are in the inbox on Monday, they might do the thing you requested!

@jeeper yeah, that's how we think. But believe me, that manager didn't. Made his job of looking busy especially by attending every existing meeting. I worked with him before corporate - nobody noticed he didn't do an f. But then i worked with him at smaller company and eventually he had to run. Also, i asked him for Jira workflow change, as long he didn't fix that I won't register my hours. He filled in MY hours for like year instead of my request. Worth it
