Well, I bet you guys also believe that 20 people can do twice as much work as 10. Never change, dudes.

In theory, sure - that is, if your employees are all good workers.

Terrible. What other people do in their work time is none of your business, unless you're directly responsible for them, which does not seem to be the case here.

Um. If I was working at $16/hours or something and this girl was doing this and getting paid the same, I would definitely speak up. I don't know what world you live in, Vlado, but if you actually care about your job, you will speak up about issues within it.

WTF? It's not your decision who gets paid what. And how exactly is that "an issue"? It neither concerns you, nor are you in a position to determine whether it harms the company as a whole (that would be the boss).

What good would snitching do, exactly?


Oh my.

To quote one of Vlado's favorite phrases:

"That's what this guy actually believes."

Fixed. Even if it's not enforced, I have never worked in an office place that didn't say 'no personal stuff on company time blah blah...'

Yeah it's rarely enforced, and it's not cool to tell on someone for just checking Facebook once. It's when you notice a pattern that it starts to become an issue. There are so many problems that can come from goofing off at work, it's serious business.

not mean, and Its not a "Wahhhhh, its not fair" issue either because I do what I want. No one comes down on me.

Its a matter of work ethic and helping out in the office.

Wow Vlado, every company in the world would love to have an employee like you. Who cares if a coworker is doing nothing at work, yet still making the same amount of money as you? It's not your problem, so why bother?

It's one thing to goof around once in a while and still get everything done. Nothing wrong with that. But being on facebook all day is a whole different thing.

Being lazy can be good or bad. Stealing from your boss is obviously bad. However, do you actually believe that your time while you're at work 100% belongs to your boss? If that's the case... Well... Good thing I'm not you.

Being worthless is never acceptable, you just wouldn't be hired for very long if you did what you claim she does.

However, producing the desired results without actually working 100% of the time is entirely beneficial for all sides.

Would you mind demonstrating an instance when laziness would be an admirable trait? I am completely baffled at the idea.

However, do you actually believe that your time while you're at work 100% belongs to your boss? If that's the case... Well... Good thing I'm not you.

If I am being paid by my boss, then I believe that I should follow all the rules of the workplace, which almost always includes something to the effect of "don't dink around at work." Laziness as work lowers office morale and wastes company funds that could be invested in an employee who actually works.

Then I wonder what he means by "stealing from your boss". Nobody's talked about actual theft here.

When you are paid hourly, time=money. If you steal time, you are stealing money.

You're not stealing time. It's YOUR time. It's always yours. You are LENDING your time to your employer. If they prove you are breaching your contract, they have every right to fire you, of course. But you should look out for yourself first and foremost. I'm not defending not doing anything at work - and even if I did, obviously not getting your work done would result in bad consequences for you.

I'm defending the freedom to do whatever you want, as long as your work is done at the end of the day. In fact, that is what every contemporary manager should be thinking.

I have Pandora Radio, a Fantasy Baseball/Football league page as applicable, and during contest season the GameFAQs Contest update site open. Nothing else with any regularity.

None of these require any reading, and more importantly, none of them require text input from me.

I will fully acknowledge that sometimes the Fantasy Baseball/Football league page distracts me a bit more than the ideal amount if I randomly get the urge to look at a free agent or something, but yeah, that's rare, and acceptable. Posting on a message board regularly throughout the day like SBell does is an entirely different animal.
