Have you ever had a job where you did nothing for years and nobody found out?
I worked for a large company. My department was actually shut down and everyone give a few months notice. Before the notice was up I was offered another job as an analyst. I was well know and did and good job so they wanted to keep me on. I started doing this special project. Soon enough I realized, I could actually finish the entire day’s job in about 30 minutes. I basically hung out for the rest of the day. This lasted just over a year.
Another guy at the same company - well, he came from the floor and how he got hooked into this is the first place is beyond me. They started a learning resource centre. Which made no sense because it was a giant warehouse. What was there to learn? Either you knew how to drive your forklift or you didn’t. Anyway they build this room wit several computers, and put this guy in charge of it. Except there was never anyone there. It was a warehouse, everyone was working at their jobs.
One day I went in there to look around, Was there for a few minutes before I realize this guy is actually in his office, with was attached to this room. He was just sitting there, because he had no actual work to do other than making sure this room was running. But since there was never anyone int eh room, he never had anything to do.
