For dicking around and being on my phone too often

I got a new manager at work like three weeks ago, he is definitely the one that complained to my boss to get him to talk to me

I guess I won't be on CE a whole lot now

Seems your manager doesn't like you.

He's the "come on guys let's put in the hours!" type of person.

I am not.

was "dicking around" the official violation?

Being on my phone frequently, and having chess tactic problems on my monitor basically all day (though I at least have the damn decency to minimize it and try to look busy)

you should ask your boss if he plays GTA:O and then buy him some shark cards if he does

New managers/supervisors are often like this. Give it a few months and he probably won't give a fuck

My manager was actually with this company for 10 years, left and worked somewhere else for two, then came back.

In fact he was originally just an engineer for those 10 years, and was given the title of engineering manager when he returned.

I am the only other engineer.

So in this small company I am just going to end up micromanaged by this dude.

Walk around and socialize. Waste other people's time as well as your own.

I got a guy like that in my office who just got promoted.

it's called "interteam communication", it helps all the cogs of the machine integrate better, so we all work together more smoothly.

at least, that's what I tell my manager

I had a supervisor at one job back in the day who rode my ass so hard. I finally snapped one time when he came over all sarcastic with his rotted horrible teeth and said some like "could you maybe not jam up the molder?"

So I yelled "could you maybe fuck off, Rick?"

And he did. And he never bothered me again. I told another guy this and he told Rick to "shutup or go me" (lol) so Rick shutup and went away. And was never anything but polite and friendly to either of us ever again.

It was awesome. He came on so strong cause he just had no idea what to do when people were just assholes to him.

I have a coworker who sits at his computer all day basically just watching YouTube videos. Hes not a bad employee per se when he is given pressing work but he has literally no ambition.

I do most of my CEing at work. In fact, I'm there right now.

However I have an ideal set up. My office is down a hall and I can hear people coming up the stairs and down the hall like at least 30 seconds before they get to my office, so I can put my phone down and act busy immediately.

My boss has never caught me fucking off in 6 years and I probably put in a solid 5 hours of work in an 8 hour day.

Oh fuck I work with a guy like that. He does nothing all day. We call him "Captain Coffee Cup" because all he fucking does is walk around bull shitting with everyone with his coffee in his hand for the first half of the day, then he leaves and does "sales calls" but we all know hes out fucking off at Cabelas

This was me at my last job, lol. Happened twice. They even acknowledged that I was more productive than everyone else even with my distractions, but oh well, it was a bad look and I guess the potential consequences of my being distracted would have been bad for them. After the second time I mostly stopped.

Of course, after that, my work satisfaction dropped out the bottom of the scale and I ended up quitting not long after, so...

Man. When I had a desk job, I got in trouble if my phone was even visible. Wasnt allowed to take my full breaks, either, and unpaid overtime was described as an expectation.

Cant imagine ever appearing to not be busy.

Depends on the setting imo and if it's actually impairing your job performance.

I can't play on my phone too much as it stands, given my job - but my manager HATES seeing us with out phones out, even during downtime.
