Get paid to piss around! » 0

My boss thinks I’m not committed to my work because…I’m not interacting as much as I can with my colleagues. Yes, ladies and gentlemen. She doesn’t judge my commitment base on my work output, but on whether I’m pissing around with my colleagues. She wants me to get paid $(secret ;-o) an hour to sit around and “interact” with my colleagues.

I only have 7.5 hours a week to get through my mountain-sized work. I come in and my work is all set out for me. I don’t really have the spare 30 seconds to sit around and have a nice chat about my personal life with my colleagues, let alone five fucking minutes. My manager may have the time because she’s as lazy as they come. But I don’t have the spare time.

I’m not too sure how she came to the conclusion that my commitment to my job should be judged on whether I’m pissing around, chatting with other people. I thought that commitment to one’s job should be based on how punctual that person is, and how much work she’s putting in and giving out, and how satisfactory is that work. I must have been away when the announcement was made that commitment should be judged on who’s pissing around the most now, instead of actual work produced.

But hey, you just give me the word that it is part of my job description to laze around and chat, I’ll do it. Otherwise, I’ll continue working as I have, chugging through my work which is my #1 priority at the moment. Sorry, but chatting to colleagues is way far down my priority list. Not too sure how much priority you give it though…
