Sleeping for 10 hours in a closet would do enough damage to my body that i’d quit my job and get a disability pension
The secret to promotion is to be competent but not amazing.
If you’re good enough not to be fired, but not so good you’re indispensable in your current role, your boss will be happy to recommend you for promotion to get you out of their umbrella.
Just be a constructive slight annoyance… and be funny, nice and be seen ether the first or exit the last (I suggest first).
Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.
I’ve seen unproductive people succeed simply because they show up early and leave late while doing less than average work. It’s all about appearances.
It’s a dumb system for dumb people and I hate it.
Hard working unproductive people become in time hard working productive people. Lazy productive people become in time lazy unproductive people. Skill issue on your side tbh.
Spending 50-100% more time doing something because you are slow/taking breaks/chatting is being unproductive.
Neither of those things is true
This has got to be one of the worst arguments I’ve seen in a while. Congratulations.
Hey thanks for your assessment of my skill without knowing the first thing about me. Hard working is something else than just being in the office every day from 8 to 6.
Believe it or not, that’s your boss.
Please don’t question this merit-dualism. I need it as my moral compass in these ever-expanding, complicated, almost mystical realms of the markets.

One time I spent an hour restacking four small pallets into one big pallet. Managera come through and one of them says, “hey wow, looks much cleaner in here, good work today!”
Anyways I got a promotion a few months later.
Does everyone in this thread work in a warehouse?
I work for a werehouse.
I have a question
Can it wait until the next full moon?
🏃🏠💨
I work at a whorehouse
Jelly
We do bulk and they’re also werewolves, so it’s a werewhore warehouse
There were some in Pompeii but they haven’t been located yet, to this day archeologists don’t know where the werewhore warehouses were
It’s a running joke where I work just how hard it is to get fired. One of the few stories I know of someone who was fired involved an employee for whom my employer paid multiple times for courses of rehab. He was finally fired when after all that they found him at his desk so drunk they basically couldn’t wake him at all.
I once saw a truck driver not get fired for getting caught for the second time stealing meat (whole carcasses) from the truck.
That’s sad.
where do you work?
Similar stuff happens at my job. Only thing people really get fired for is getting into fights.
He costanzed it
Lame. Dude just reinvented the wheel
What work would even in concept make this possible?
Ssh.
But honestly, I could see this in pretty much any office setting, including mine. My boss will go whole days stuck in meetings, so I’ll only see them if I get in really early or stay late. If I’m missing all day, people would assume I’m also in meetings or something, because we work with remote teams and half of my team is remote.
I’m a software engineer, but this could work for almost any office job, especially those in cubicles.
