At what kind of jobs can you afford to play Minesweeper and surf the web?

Question

I always see people on the Internet making remarks on how they surf the web at their job or play games. As someone who works hard 8h/d, I wonder at what kind of office jobs can you afford to do that w/o getting fired.

Answer 1

Those are the jobs that the slackers have.  They're the ones that always get someone else to do their job.  They're also the ones that get fired because their work is never finished and what is finished is below par.

You don't want their job.  They're always stressed because they're really busy hiding from their supervisor...so they don't get asked to do any work.

Answer 2

Obviously, your job. You don't work hard a full 8 hours every single day. If you did you wouldn't "always see people on the Internet making remarks on how they surf the web at their job or play games".

As an Admin Asst/IT Mgr/Programmer/Dispatcher I do a little of both from time to time for a break from the usual tedious task.

Answer 3

In fact, the office network exposes you to the risk of the employer knowing what kind of play you were involved during working hours !!. Better avoid it !!

Answer 4

I have several friends who working in the marketing field and they constantly spend their time at work online doing nothing/playing games or watching stuff on Youtube.
