You got in before I could respond.This thread will expose all government employees on rerolled if everyone answers honestly.
Basically this... I have literally nothing to do for hours, and it's not as enjoyable as I once thought. I literally sat here the other day and watched a movie, but I think all office jobs have downtime I guess.I got hired at a place once that was busy but right after slowed down, I would do almost nothing but sit and villager for about six hours a day, was supposed to work right but got tired of being there so left early. Left not long after because it's awful to do nothing at work.
One of my friends I worked with during college figured out there was a gap in the cube grid he could lay down in undetected. So he got paid to take a nap whenever he was tired.I used to train new employees/supervisors at the UPS hubs. Whenever we weren't with new hires I would go in-between the belts and take a nap. Did it for about 3 years. Was pretty good deal for 17.25 an hour.
Ever remove a floor tile from a server room, go to lunch and come back to learn that the IT director had fallen through it?Yes I did and I just quit that job mostly due to boredom.
I just started, I don't think looking for a new job after 4 months looks good on a resume.Yes I did and I just quit that job mostly due to boredom.
I think this is part of my problem (although I am lazy). The vast majority of my coworkers are dumb or really slow at their work. What takes them a day+ I can knock out in 1-2 hours. So I run through what I've got really quickly. The lazy part comes from the fact that I'm not about to start turning shit in early just so they can give me more to do (and since I'm government, it's not like they can give me a raise because I'm more productive). But knowing how crappy my coworkers are, means I can very accurately pace my work out so I'm accomplishing the same amount and just screwing around for most of the week.One of my friends I worked with during college figured out there was a gap in the cube grid he could lay down in undetected.

Oddly, he was far from the laziest employee at the place.
Holy shit, this just happened to me in October when we had our annual reviews. My supervisor asked me how I thought I'd done. I said for my first year, I think I got a lot of good experience but that around January - March I had asked for extra work and never gotten anything and that that wasn't great for my development. Later he got to his assessment of me and said I'd been doing great. I probably bertstared at him or something since I figured I'd get called out on doing jack shit all year. I couldn't believe it, so I started poking with leading questions like "Well, what would you say I need to improve on in the next year." I was literally stonewalled and told to keep doing what I had been. Fuuuuuuuuck dude, really? So me giving almost no effort exceeded your expectations? So now this year I'm going to try even less. Thanks.One of the most demotivating things ever at that job was one year when I felt my performance had really slid from the previous year, they gave me an "outstanding contributor" rating. I should have been happy but I knew I didn't deserve it and it just kind of brought home that nobody was really paying attention or gave a shit how much work I did. It got to the point where I could accomplish what was considered an acceptable amount of output by working about 25% of the time I was in the office and I spent the rest of my time posting on my EQ guild board and The Steel Warrior.
