I need to get rid of this and would appreciate any suggestions.
I work in the media industry (40h/week) and my company has zero tolerance for home office for the “lower workers”.
I've worked a maximum of 4 hours a day on projects for the past 5 weeks or so. The last 2 weeks a maximum of 2 hours per day. The rest of the hours I just do my time. When it became clear that I would have less and less to do, I started developing my own projects, presented them to the supervisors and every project was implemented. In a conversation about a possible salary increase, I referred to these projects and my commitment, among other things, but was not “rewarded” for it. Instead of a pay-raise, I was offered meal coupons. So my desire to go the extra mile has vanished into thin air.
When I asked a few weeks ago whether it was possible to work from home, my request was also rejected. “People need to show up in the office for personal exchange” etc. (I work full digital, I don’t shoot photos, videos and I don’t craft anything physical).
Well! Since I just sit here like a monkey in a cage, I'm constantly nervous, have terrible back pain and could do so much better with my time than well .. “just sit there”.
I'm so annoyed and don't know how to fill my day at the office. Any ideas?
I already plan to quit in September, but there are still many hours ahead of me.
