I think I need to be made redundant. Friday I just sat at my desk stressing because I had nothing to do.
I am not a lazy person so this bothers me. I go to work to distract myself from my problems as well as earn some money as well, so I need to be kept busy.
I emailed the other managers as instructed by my boss offering help to them, and they all said no they had nothing.
My boss gave me a 10 minute job and that was it.
How am I supposed to sit at a desk for 8 1/2 hours with ■■■■ all to do ?
I really need to find a new job. I am going off sick today, and my reason is that work made me want to kill myself on Friday night, and it was serious. Very serious.
You’ve tried to assume more responsibilities and the higher ups blow you off, so I say you should stealthily waste time. How much info does IT have on your work computer? Do they just monitor sites you browse, or does it see everything you’re doing?
If they just monitors sites you browse, there’s a way you can hook up your smartphone to your computer so you browse the smartphone on the computer screen with keyboard and mouse, without tipping off IT, or setting a bad example for the other employees. Sneaky sneaky!
Maybe ask hard for more responsibilities then. Otherwise you’re looking forward to more full-time nothingness. Is the bonus really worth your mental well-being?
