Hot off the heels of being accused of insubordination for stapling photocopies, today was the polar opposite. So I guess it's an improvement?
I did nothing. All day today. In fact, I'm still here, typing a short rant on Reddit about it. I have to be here from 8-6. 10 hours a day, 4 days a week. There was not a single thing to do today. No classes, no meetings, no reports to fill out, not even an email to respond to. Hell, even my shitty supervisor left 2 hours ago. But Heavens forbid I leave at 4.
But, since they decided I don't get micromanaged enough, as retribution for my last insubordination, I am now forced to document hour by hour what I do for work. How am I supposed to fill a 10 hour schedule with nothing? I wasn't even given anything to do at all today, beyond some BS 'trainings' I did weeks ago and I've just been re-doing to fill dead time. Before my supervisor left, even they acknowledged there was nothing for me to do. I would have left, or not even turned up, had they not decided to start checking the building cameras to see if I'm actually spending all 10 hours at my desk. Truly the most boring tyranny I have ever suffered under.
I jokingly used to tell people my main career aspiration was to make a healthy living while doing absolutely nothing. And, I guess I finally achieved my dream. But, at what cost? $70,000 a year, I guess 🙂
