Here's what I've gleaned from this article: >If you don't own the business, there isn't much to gain by putting yourself out as hard as if it were your own. Be selfish. >My dad never fell for this. He completed all his real and personal work on time, and always left around 4:30 PM as everyone else did (while charging until 4:42PM) so he was always home for us at about 5PM every night.* Charge for work you don't do. >Because of this, you need to play it cool. It's always good idea to look busy. Whenever I was working on important personal projects at work, I always had a back story prepared about how that work was critical to my real job in case I got busted. I never did; bosses rarely get out and walk around. Lie. >Another tactic is, presuming your work has more than one precise location where you might be working, is to make it look as if you're at the other place working. For instance, those of us who design and build Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs), have a desk in an office, as well as laboratories, machine shops and test ranges. If I'm not sitting at my desk, people then look for me down in the lab. If you make each location look as if you're in that day, but probably at the other location, you can go home for a few hours at a time. For instance, if you leave a half-full drink and your jacket at your desk, people will presume you're down in the lab. Deceive. Joke or not, this article revolted me. Regardless of the pay, the constant lying and slacking just screws the "clever" two-hour worker. After a decade or two of that, they may not be capable of actual productivity. I just may not be cut out for work in America... at least not the one this guy is living in.
