How do they pay you to do nothing?

That's a fantastic question. The company is foreign owned and it's just a sales office. The CEO is a fantastical liar that hides things well, and firing a bunch of people would not look good for him. As long as we are making a profit, no one really analyzes how much fat could be trimmed. I don't even care if it were me to get laid off either. Actually, please lay me off.

My last job was like that. I was needed for about an hour a week. I just sat and listened to podcasts all day every day.

My current job, I do about an hour a day, and outperform all of my colleagues. Luckily I’m at home most of the time and just lay in bed watching things all day with my cats. When I have to go into the office, it’s painful.

It’s fairly common. We have a team of 11 people that does the work of half a person. The 8 person team I’m on now does less work than I did by myself 2 years ago on a different team between those 2 teams, there are also 4 managers
