The average remote worker has TWO HOURS of downtime

submitted by [deleted] from self.politics

While the average office worker reports an average of one hour and forty minutes of downtime, as detailed in this report.

Market forces determine what someone gets paid, but aside from that, there's still the fact that many of these office jobs are relatively low-effort jobs. The left often talks about how workers are increasingly productive but wages aren't keeping up with it. It seems to me that what's really going on is new technology is really what's increasing worker productivity.

Secret ingredient to a healthy work-work balance:

Never give more than 50% of what you actually can do.

Keep your mouth shut and just sit through all the propaganda- and "team building"-events.

This way you always can adjust for these minor bullshit-bingo meeting nonsense ideas most ties above you in the pecking order use to construct pseudo-arguments to raise quotas on a weekly basis.

Any important E Mail will be sent again, if it actually was that important. Trust me. The same idea is applicable with E Mails, quite obviously.

I live an actually quite satisfied life since I left all those "big" companies for good and stick to this very simple principle.

This is really good life advise. When you give 100%, they expect 200%.

My life has never been better since I developed that kind of "work-ethic" for myself.

They hire niggers on the same payscale as me, then they don't need anything beyond 20% of my capability.
