How do you get away with being sick for so long? Must have a legit doctors note/claim or something that's wild.
Agrees!My take is that humans aren't meant to be slaves for 45 hours a week. It's so mentally torturous. So debilitating.
We know that people end up with bad backs sitting on chairs for that long. We know that people end up depressed doing the same thing for that long.
I feel bad for people who think that is normal. I think if people quit their jobs and started to get creative with their time, they'd be so much happier. Ultimately that's what it's all about.
Start a blog, learn something like baking and advertise it as a service, take up a bar-tending class, etc.
That's my advice.
the "dirty secret" in my office is that no one works a full day...all my coworkers disappear for extended periods of time at some pointShe goes offline for hours at a time during the middle of the day and basically does the bare minimum while still getting paid more than me.
The first thing I do at every job. NT fam, we in dis.people should alter the notification settings if they want to make it look like they're available, you can make it stay green even you are not actively on your desktop for several hours, its really not hard
I'm the opposite, i could never do that, working at home is enough of a struggle for me as is...I can't do this 9-5 **** forever mane. A few weeks ago I was paid 100 bucks to write two paragraphs in my underwear in bed.
I want to live that dream full-time. For now, I'm grinding at the day job

YOU ARE A LEGEND! THANKS!the "dirty secret" in my office is that no one works a full day...all my coworkers disappear for extended periods of time at some point
...we use MS Lync as our communicator and it acts as a "tatler" by showing when people have gone inactive...my old supervisor would disappear for like 2 hours and my current boss will disappear for 30+ mins every few hours or so...

i like having a designated place and time to work...but doing that in my drawers does sound awesome

How do you make any money though? Do you have another job as well? You must live somewhere like me that has a low cost of living.I'm a fireman and having 4 days off out the week still doesn't seem like enough to me. I don't know how you guys do it man. I could never go back to that life.
What frustrates me most about my 9-5 is that I'm in the office every damn day ,but I could literally do 95% of my work from my house. Actually there's a girl who's "sick" who's been working from home (or wherever she is) since December.
I don't "hate" the 9-5 life but I do hate how you're time is controlled. 2-3 days of telework and a salary increase would make it a LOT more tolerable.
have you tried negotiating this with management? might be worth a shot.
half of my company works from home full time. Our office is based in LA but we got people as far out as Texas who all work from home.. Some of them used to work out of the office and ended up keeping their jobs when they moved out of state. My next goal is to negotiate my own telework time (even though I live 10 miles from the office) since everyone else gets to do it.
I know I'm blessed to have landed with a solid company with good fair management, but damn some of yall lives sound miserable. My 9-5 is cake. I show up late everyday and leave early whenever I need to. Very rarely is there enough work for me to take up the entire day so I spend a lot of my time goofing around on the internet or playing hearthstone. Me and my coworkers usually take a long lunch every Friday (sometimes Thursday too) where we go to the bar, and boss is cool with it as long as we arent coming back completely blitzed.

My boss is completely against people working from home, unless its like a snow emergency and the office is closed.
Hell, me and another girl in my group are the only people in my department (40+) without laptops. And we arent even the lowest level employees. Theres epic levels of foolishness going on at my job, but I aint even tryna get into all that.
Sounds like you work in Esportshave you tried negotiating this with management? might be worth a shot.

ALWAYS APPEAR ACTIVE ON MICROSOFT LYNC
February 11, 2014
Written by Ajay Singh
Sometimes intelligent behavior of a software becomes more trouble than help. One such feature is auto changing status of Microsoft Lync. It sets your status Away if you leave your system inactive for 5 minutes. There are scenarios when we don’t want this to happen. Lets see how can we change this setting and always appear Active on Lync.
These steps will work with Microsoft Lync 2010 as well as Lync 2013 –
1) Open Options dialog box by clicking on the Gear icon at the top right side of Lync. It will expose Tools> Options. Click on Options.
2) An Options dialog box will appear on screen. Here on the left hand side you have setting groups like – General, Personal etc. Click on group ‘Status’ here.
3) This will show you all settings related with Status. On right pane of this screen you will see that first two settings are responsible for showing your Lync Status as Inactive and Away. By default this is at 5 minutes. Increase it to a big number as 60 or 90 minutes and your Lync will show ‘Active’ Status for next 90 minutes even if you are not on system.
This change will allow you to practically disable the auto changing Away status of Microsoft Lync and will help you to keep your status always Active.
Note : As mentioned by one of the readers (in below comments), if you do not have admin right to change this setting. A workaround to prevent your system from going into Inactive or Idle status is to use this tiny free tool ‘NoSleep’. It keeps shaking your mouse cursor a bit after a small time interval, thus does not let your system to go into sleep mode.
