The real torture, for anyone with a soul, is hours upon hours of office busy work that is JUST challenging enough to not be mindless but not sufficiently novel or challenging to be fulfilling. |

Date: June 21st, 2018 7:36 PM Author: curious transparent yarmulke Extremely cr. The worst of these jobs is one in which the entire week’s work can be knocked out in 3 or 4 hours but you’re expected to be at the office for 40+ hours per week. I found that the quality of my work actually decreased in these jobs relative to positions that kept me busy.
An ideal setup would be one in which employees are assigned a weekly list of discrete tasks to accomplish, upon completion of which the employee would not be expected in the office. Of course, this would only work in certain non-customer facing roles and would require quality control to ensure that the employee wasn’t cutting corners in order to complete tasks more quickly. |
|
Date: June 21st, 2018 7:38 PM Author: wild theater stage macaca First of all, say which again. Second, there are no jobs IN WHICH all assignments generated on a Tuesday or Wednesday can wait to be assigned the following Monday. Fucking rere. |

|
Date: June 21st, 2018 8:05 PM Author: curious transparent yarmulke Lol calm down, faggot. IN WHICH IN WHICH IN WHICH IN WHICH
First, there are plenty of jobs IN WHICH tasks could be assigned weekly. I’ve worked in jobs where tasks are assigned less than once per week. Second, the start of each employee in a workgroup’s work week could be staggered. In other words, assignments coming in on Wednesday could be given to staffers whose weekly list of tasks are given on Thursday or Friday. Third, change “weekly” to “twice weekly” or “daily” and employees are still incentivized to be productive and efficient. |

Date: June 22nd, 2018 11:49 AM Author: Heady Coiffed Jap Trailer Park in my experience, most jobs cluster around two poles: there are jobs that don't require much facetime, but the tradeoff is that those jobs typically load you up with more tasks than the ordinary person can handle (e.g., big law associate at kirkland and ellis)
most other jobs are the opposite - 40+ hour minimum facetime requirement but too few or too mundane tasks to give your work a sense of urgency or purpose
like shithead pumo says, jobs that fall in the middle of these two poles are extremely rare. if you want something in the middle, you're going to have to create it for yourself using a system that works for you (e.g., Total Workday Control) |

Date: June 21st, 2018 7:53 PM Author: grizzly appetizing address this is my situation-- boss obsessed with facetime because he hates his wife and treats work like a sanctuary and wants people to talk to while he's there, but I have at most an aggregate of 10 hours of actual work to do per week so I sit around bored and overdressed.
