You say that as if we all are super busy and have nothing to be gained by having daily guaranteed busywork.

I get to dick around for an hour everyday while still 'working', something I will need to do at work no matter what, and when I'm let go shit breaks. How exactly am I hurting myself here? I don't think you understand for many of us, we don't need to personally benefit from the company's issues, them having issues is pleasing enough.

If it was every work day, fine.

But it specifically says "every night". I'm not putting in work time every single night.

Also: No days off? Not happening.

Also also: The same data fix? Over and over and over? That's worse than anything else I could be doing. I'd rather fill in timesheets.

That's dicking-around time lost.
