Dude. It’s 10am PST. You should be working at your job. You shouldn’t be moonlighting on the internet on a real estate blog on company time, especially if your company is so inflexible and requires you to account every work hour between 8am-5pm and expects you to have your butt in your workseat during this time even if you don’t have enough work to do because your boss totally underestimated your workload and didn’t give you enough work to occupy your 8 hour/day workshift with 1 hour lunch break.
Only people like me and my team members can do this because I trust they will get their work done if even they decide to take a short 1 hour break and do nothing, as long as they meet their deadlines. And if they get it done earlier, I don’t care what they do for the rest of their time.
Get back to work and complete your work hours and timecard accurately deadzone![/quote]
I’ve already established the fact that most of the white collar work force, myself included, have been mostly jerking off during the Pandemic. That’s the problem. Can’t go on forever. But sure for now it is great, I make good money, do maybe 25% of the work I used to do for the same pay. Get to go surfing or ride my bike at random times during the “work” day. What’s not to like?
Also I am a manager, nobody is keeping track of my work hours. I just have to make sure the folks that work for me get their shit done.[/quote]
You and your company might be jerking off during the pandemic because as I mentioned, your american employer might be one that is in an industry that can digest a bloated operational model riddled with inefficiencies like the defense sector or public sector, but for many companies, we’ve been pretty busy trying to acquire companies during the lockdown. Most of our software and tech we had to quickly re-invent for use in contact tracing and guest tracking in the post-covid economy, so for us many folks had to be on site testing the location technology we are building (field engineers at least). So that’s why we’ve needed to add headcount, because we’ve acquired 4 new major customers and our delivery rate is now roughly 8 mobile apps on each mobile platform (Android and IOS) per quarter, bringing our total apps to about 28 in a year and half of work. So again, maybe that’s the disconnect. You and your coworkers at your employer is jerking off and probably got COLA adjustments and haven’t really seen any additional pickup in business (again, maybe because it’s an inefficient defense or public sector)…But for some of us, we’ve had to add headcount to keep up with the business demand after companies started spending a lot again….The trick is to avoid burning out people so they quit to support all this new work.
