They would have you do cleaning and stuff, and just do less cleaning on the busy days. Or they’d have you watch the mandatory annual safety videos.
It was their problem, not your problem.
I’m still bored at work occasionally to this day, but I’d rather that than have today’s poor boundaries on my “days off”. Your whole day can be shot de facto on call with no compensation.
Yeah I’m not saying that’s better. I never defended that stupid shit. I’m pointing out there’s a lot of Reddit bullshit flying around this post by people that have more than likely either never been in a proper management position or who were absolutely godawful at it when given the opportunity.
You think people are happy doing busywork? They’re not. People fucking despise it.
Not necessarily busy work, it’s just flexible when it needs to get done. I did read your post twice, and it is kinda normalizing godawful management practices.
I don’t need to be fully engaged every moment I’m at work. I need to be paid for the time I’m asked to reserve for it.
