We're in a slow season right now, but they want us to keep busy. Very busy. They're monitoring our screens to make sure we are constantly clicking refresh to get new emails. They want us to click literally every second. Now, an 8 hour shift has 28,800 seconds. It takes 1.42 calories for each click. That's 40,896 goddamn calories they want us to be burning clicking a damn mouse for 8 hours straight. I tried bringing this up to my supervisor and her attitude was basically “WOW amazing you guys will stay so fit and skinny this is great”
We make $15 a fucking hour, some of us aren't even eating 40 896 calories in a month. My question is, can they even do this? Am I being dramatic? Bad at math?
