Is there anyone else who has nothing to do at work ?

Question

and wonders why you are being paid or why you was recruited?

Answer 1

may i ask what a-levels and degrees did you do for this job and if your from america what do you have to do from school to get to where you are

Answer 2

I had a job like that - now its my last day, as I've was made redundant - its due to the current economic contraction - last time I looked it was called Recession!!

look for a new challenging job - that's what I've been doing

Answer 3

If its true you get paid to do basically nothing, c**p man I feel better about being unemployed now.  Sans the fact that I'm not getting a pay check.  If you have your own office you can always do Yoga, Pilates, and Chan Buddhist meditation you know.  Not what they pay you for I know but, they don't pay you be doing nothing either.

What I would do in your position to stave off boredom, is probably attend an online University or something, and "sneak" a college degree in.  If people hear the click clacking of a keyboard, they will think what a productive person you are, what a hard worker you are when in fact you are studying.  Who knows the ruse may even get you a promotion!

Provided you can keep the subterfuge of course...

good luck....

Answer 7

Some people have jobs which get them busy only when something goes wrong somewhere in the system ( for example in a telephone exchange when a line connection is lost). If you are in a job with nothing to do, why not see your supervisor and ask is there something else that needs to be done. It is better to be busy than idle. The day does not seem as long. Also doing other duties is a useful learning experience.

Answer 8

me! and I'm being paid a bloody fortune (well above twice the national average), I just do not understand it!
