Looking on in awe as super visors get angry at you for overstepping them even though they cannot and will not make your colleagues work so you must work or else everyone will return to the office instead of staying online, so, everyone will suffer equally, so I let calls and client tickets drop off in a round-robin fashion. No one answers them.

Oh what didn't I do! I watch Netflix, cook, online shop for hours, watch YouTube documentaries, masturbate, go for coffee, argue with my girlfriend, make up with my girlfriend, plan trips, scroll TikTok, clean, do laundry, nap. But you know what? It made me fucking depressed. Sometime I don't leave my house for 6-8 days in a row. Paradoxically I feel way better when I go to the office and talk to those people that I don't really like but at least the hate the job as much as I do and we can all complain together. So that's that.

Sometimes, my job is so chaotic that nobody notices if you do almost nothing for a day or two, as long as you show up to daily meetings. One time, I read a whole book about dog training even though I don't own a dog. I spent an hour yesterday going through an online museum.

My job is all about optimizing stuff. So I optimized my work-avoidance routines. Fake meetings where I'm alone and I'm actually spreading leftist memes on the internet, wrong estimates to dig out entire weeks of free/low pace work, scolding managers for setting up too many meetings and impacting my productivity. I could go on for days, but it's time for my afternoon nap.

When I had a permanent job managers had access to your calendar, and so could decide your schedule for you at any point, at a moment's notice. I discovered it was possible to email yourself an invite to a meeting, and it would show up as a 1 to 1 with a third party, meaning management would leave you alone... so you could actually get on with some work...

Often I would switch my phone to silent mode (so that no one among my workmates, and especially my boss, realises that it's ringing) and intentionally not answer the incoming calls from French speaking customers, and then call them back in a suitable moment. There were two main reasons why I would do this: first, nobody at the office knew French. People tend to fear the opposite: that the others listen to what you're saying and judge it - so it may sound silly but I felt rather guilty and embarrassed that they couldn't understand a thing! The second reason seems less paranoid: I procrastinated in some way to feel "readier" for the call, plus wanted to be considered as someone who is always busy but, at the same time, who always calls back :D

It's a co-worker friend's story, who while muted on Zoom often pretends to be yawning (with their hand covering their mouth) but actually screams loudly behind their hand :) I can very much relate to that. And very tempted to try this on meetings.

I made myself busy with logistics and going to the post office (all work related) just to get away from having to work on my laptop. Online collaboration (Zoom and Miro) are often really challenging and I fell that I end up being less productive at the end of the day. I need to use these small “tricks” just to get some fresh air - and I infect do better work afterwards

After a very long day on Zoom I felt that my brain was not working and it just felt physically painful to sit there and listen. My eyes, my brain my ears (from that zoom sound) hurt. I faked bad connection and went for an hour walk in the park. It helped me to push through that day - obviously I was working overtime , but getting fresh air was just really to help survive.

Saying that I have bad internet connection so that I can turn off Zoom camera (when I am already completely brain dead after the 3rd Zoom in a row) and do some cooking while listening to a very long meeting. This actually turned out to be more focused and productive because I could move my body and think in the same time.

Every week, I am given a list of products on Google sheets for which I’m paid to write short press releases. I am paid a small amount for each ‘blurb’ I write, which usually amounts to £200-£300 a month. Every so often, more money than I am owed will appear in my account. The last time this happened, I received close to an extra £100 on top of my usual amount. When this happens, I simply say nothing and keep it.
