I believe you’re confusing “nothing to do” with what the OP task was: “making upper case letters mixed case”. It needs to be done right? This work is analogous

I believe you’re confusing “nothing to do” with what the OP task was: “making upper case letters mixed case”. It needs to be done right? This work is analogous to what is done every day in every office in every country. Believe it or not, most of what people do is this type of work (again, my opinion).
If there’s not other pressing needs, and there’s a business need for the work, and you have a sure fire way of solving your problem, then take the path of least resistance and keep your staff from being idle.
- Jtsummers 7y agoHaving people do that manually is garbage work. It can be done with a quick script by any competent programmer or system administrator. Having people sit down and do that for hours, days, or weeks, is a sure-fire way to kill any interest they have in contributing meaningfully to the business. They will hate you, themselves, the company, and either seek out a new job (best case) or remain and occupy space continuing to do garbage work. If your staff is idle, give them meaningful work, training, or the day off. All of those are better than giving them garbage work.
