I frequently have all of my work completed, and I am unfortunately not allowed to work from home. This means I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk scrolling social media, because there’s nothing that needs done. I feel like I’m wasting my time, even more than work already wasted the best hours of the day. How do you fill that downtime with something that is personally valuable, but not disruptive or noticeable enough that you’d get in trouble?
Of course you have answered my question, no worries. I find it odd that our experiences are so different. Like I know nobody who stayed at a company and got anywhere, everyone always has to go somewhere else to get higher pay etc. And at the same time, companies complain that if they train someone, they just go to a different company. Like are they best dumb? Really odd reality we are living in.
Well, I didn’t really specify that you would get ahead at the same company necessarily. And by getting ahead wouldn’t necessarily mean a raise either.
Getting ahead could mean that you get a good recommendation for when you want to move to a new place of work, good things to put on your CV, or even be the one who isn’t let go during a downsizing. You make yourself valuable, is all.
