Maybe a stupid question, but what would happen if you did?
I've never had a job explicitly tell me that I could just go read, but I've done just that at multiple jobs and no one has ever said anything about it.
- commandlinefan 4y agoUsually some form of snarky "we don't give you enough work to do?" from somebody who's not even my boss but one of those types who for some reason gets away with acting like he is. Of course, with work from home, things are different, but I'm still at the mercy of the time-tracking system: every hour has to be accounted for and charged to a pre-approved bucket... and reading isn't in one of those buckets.
- CSSer 4y agoWhat if you were reading about something relevant to one of those pre-approved buckets?
- LemmyInThePub 4y ago> snarky "we don't give you enough work to do?" No offense, but have you ever tried politely telling such people to fuck off?.... ...something rather common in the UK, though part of me suspects this would offend American sensibilities.
- CSSer 4y agoI've had the same experience. Obviously there's a balance here. You have to know what percentage of something does actually need to get done from day to day, but when things are slower I definitely spend my time reading. It's paid off too many times not to do so.
