http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalaldo/ Let’s face it, work sucks. Supervisors and managers prowl about the office floor, on the hunt for slackers and people who don’t put in their hours of work. As much as you’d like to be Employee of the Month and contribute your share to office productivity, there are just those days that you simply can’t work. Either you didn’t get your eight hours of sleep because of an all-night party, or you’ve just burned out.
The good news is that you don’t have to do actual work to be a productive member of the working class. You just have to pretend that you’re very busy at work. All you need is to give the higher-ups an impression that you’re a hard worker, and those bonuses and perks will all be yours… without ever doing actual work for the day.
1. Turn Your Workplace Into A Living Space
Ever wondered why many cubicle workers look like zombies at the end of the day? Cubicles are coffins for the living office worker, finished in drab and dull colors
that don’t do much to increase productivity. Most companies don’t have rules regarding decorations on office space, although you may need to check again with your company’s employee manual if your company does have a rule.
2. Office Theatrics
Supervisors and managers are always on the lookout for employees who are engrossed with working, although in big offices, they have absolutely no idea about specific job descriptions. At first glance, it may seem to your supervisor that you’re typing up a long report, but you’re merely writing poems or answering e-mails to while away time and boredom.
You simply have to hunch over your keyboard, look intently at the screen, and put on a few facial expressions like worry and stress. As long as you keep a steady typing rhythm, your boss will not be worried. You can also use a few groans, moans, and humming noises to lure your boss into thinking you’re stressed.
3. Sneaking in Sleep
http://www.flickr.com/photos/shutterbc/ Veteran office workers have long since mastered the art of sleeping with their eyes open. For others, sneaking in sleep can mean all the difference between staying employed and getting fired. There are many ways to get some much-needed sleep in an office without ever getting caught. Here are some ways to catch a few winks in the office:
* Office bathroom: it may not be as cozy, but it sure beats the alternative.
* Cafeteria: make sure to finish eating before you catch a quick nap
* Elevator: only works when you work in a really high floor of a high-rise building.
* Cubicle: here’s where it gets really tricky. You need to swivel your chair against the cubicle wall (a blind spot for many supervisors), face the computer monitor, and catch a shallow sleep with your head on your shoulder.
4. Observe Movement Patterns
Most people think that supervisors and managers pace about the office all the time. The good news is that most of them would only walk about the office at set times. You can then schedule your slack-off periods outside these usual time frames, and pretend to work when the boss walks by your row.
These are just four of the many ways you can pretend to work. You definitely have to put in your share with the company, and you still can get fired if you abuse these tricks and your boss is on to you. You can use these handy tips on those slow days when work is simply a drag.
