How to Browse Reddit at Work and Not Get Caught
- iamdave 14y agoThere are countless stories of people getting caught “redditing” while at work, with some even losing their jobs! IMO we need to be fixing this instead of finding ways to slack off at work without rising the ire (or eyebrow) of our supervisors. I keep seeing seminar after seminar, book after book, blog after blog about 1-on-1s with employees. One company I worked for even required us to read a book on identifying strengths; this was not as exciting as it sounds. I saw corp speak like never before in this book and in the end felt like a hyper-campy orientation to the life of college designed at Freshman, except in the context of the cubicle farm. This needs to seriously change, and I'm almost willing to try tackling it myself. i.e., pay more attention. Is there a tech on your support staff who's closing more sprocket tickets than cog tickets? Give him more sprocket tickets and occasionally throw a cog at him. Maybe it's just me projecting, but as an employee if you want me to stay off reddit, make my time on the job interesting; challenge me beyond just meeting the service level quotas for the week.
