    I worked with someone who would bring a salad everyday to our meetings and cut it up and crunch the entire time, even when people were talking.

    Their reasoning? They had to eat and didn’t take lunch because they had soooo many meetings.

    Did they do any actual work, oh hell no. They just blew wind out their ass to the right people and crunched on salads all day to appear busy well everyone else did the work and took normal lunches like normal people should.





  • Another thing I noticed with technology advancements. Is the free time it generates by simplifying tasks means jobs start snowballing responsibilities they shouldn’t have, to fill in the “extra time”. Which ends up in people doing some really weird jobs, they probably shouldn’t be doing or are unqualified for.

    I see this a lot in Marketing where a “Communications” job is basically the work of multiple specializations and most of them don’t translate well. The descriptions of these roles is basically a shotgun blast of everything a Design Firm would do rolled into one person.
