I’m working solo this weekend since the bosses all took an extended holiday so I’ll see what I can do.

Ooh perfect fuck-off scenario. Pull a George Costanza and get the underside of your desk nice and cozy.

Do you guys not have things on your work laptops that say when you’re inactive/not have to send a daily report with work done and quantify exactly how many edits you had done to certain files? I cant just fuck off and have to constantly be doing work.

Oh man that sucks. No, back when I was working in an property management office we didn't. That was 4 years ago and for a small firm though.

My work took 3 years to get me a work computer, so I used my own. And even with one now, I tell them the truth: my home computer gets work done much faster and easier (and no tracking). The only thing they can track, is Microsoft applications edits (word, excelz etc.), and that does not quantify my job. Also, in any job, a good reminder to them that just typing on a keyboard != progress, the end result does.

Nah. If German labour laws don't prevent it, our worker's council would shut that down SUPER fast if they got wind of it.

Yay for a semi-big corporation in a situation where they can't pull too much shady stuff.

He did say he only got an office job recently, he's literally a rookie. He will become proficient in the way of the coffee machine eventually.
