My father worked for a large telecommunications provider in the late 90's, after their merger he was left as the site manager but with no employees. Just him and the custodial staff in the building for ~2 years. The site was 7 minutes from our house and was mostly defunct. He'd show up at 9am, come home for lunch, then back to the office and leave at 3. Occasionally he'd need to reboot something or ship back infrastructure but primarily he would spend his time watching historical Korean dramas on PBS and learned conversational Korean from it.
- bink 4y agoI worked for a startup in the early 2000s that got funding and moved into a nice new office building being subleased by an oil company. And odd requirement of signing the lease was that they had to hire and keep on an IT manager that used to work for the oil company. That guy did absolutely nothing all day and spent most of his time drunk. To this day I have no idea why they agreed to such a thing just for office space.
