Don’t you just love how a small office has 5 employees. 3 do the work and the other 2 sit there, pick their nose and surf the net all day! Gotta love it! Ugh! —Too Much Work to Do and No Help

I’d post a comment but I’m too busy here at work to surf the net.
Pots & kettles, etc.
… yeah and one of the other workers is always checking out bitches on The Coast website all day!
Say something to them or expect the same results day after day.
You should tell them, not us.
well, then I guess you are in the top 60% of your workforce. Congratulations.
This cant be a goverment job,because 3 people are “working”
I’m with the rest: don’t tell US tell THEM (or their supervisor).
FFS.
then o.p., instead of two lazy fucks, make you number three. fuck the rest of them, and become one of the flock.
I think you all had a collective brain farts and forgot what “breaks” are. Also, I too work in an office of 5 people and feel like I do a fuckton more than anyone else, what a coincidence ;D!
I work from home quite often and this is when I read the b!tch board, surf the net, take a porn break, jerk off once or twice……..and still manage to be more productive than when I am in the big brick shit-house with my colleagues………yeeeeehaaaa……now if only I could recall the name of that cam site so I can broadcast what I am doing to the entire online world 🙁
I’m no expert, but I do believe that in order for there to be a job, there must be work to do. Maybe OB, you’re just stupid and it takes you all day to do what they do in 2 hours. I wonder if that’s why they have spare time???
Try some of these little motivators OP:

Sounds a bit like a certain department at my work.
But I agree, tell them and/or their supervisor.
Some of these might work well too.

hey zedman, that’s my dead cat…rooooo
lol the butt plug and the strap on ones huh PG? I’m not surprised.
I like #’s 12 and 22 personally. Ari Gold is my role model.
i’ve never watched entourage but i find jeremy piven funny
He makes the show for sure, and he’s not even really one of the “main” characters, I guess you could make a case that he is but really he’s not a full fledged member of the Entourage. The series finale is this Sunday. Suspense is killing me
i’m stoked for “the walking dead” i don’t get the station, so i need to rely on the kindness of strangers. corrie st has a huge story line coming up next week, but i won’t tell, just in case there are those amongst us who have not committed corricide (no offense intended)
Only four episodes left?!? Aww! I just finished Season 7 on DVD. I didn’t know the next one is the last! How about an Ari and Lloyd spin off!
Hug it out, bitch!!!
this is good hbo stuff isn’t it? so snubiz, you like this show? i’m intrigued…and i fucking love your gordie^^what a face
There isn’t much HBO that isn’t good!! I’m looking forward to Call Me Fitz which I have on hold at the libeery.
Ob, please define ‘working hard’ in an office. I’d rather have a worker that is able to talk and chat with our clients. Someone that buries their head at their desk may be working hard but not performing to the client’s satisfaction.
If you’re not opening your pieholes, you deserve to suffer. I’ve spent 40 years working in small offices and the tension is more overbearing than the actual act of SAYING SOMETHING to the powers that be, collectively, with your list of alleged charges. Let the fucking slackers go to the library to surf the goddamn net – there’s plenty of people who’d love a real opportunity to work.
This is why I don’t work with other people.
” there’s plenty of people who’d love a real opportunity to work.”
that is so 80s of you. the whole idea that any inexperience person off the street can easily assume the duties of a trained employee is a myth these days. mostly because of the way we work, we no longer show up to an assembly line, instead we are stationed at a desk, having to multitask and coordinate several things as well as react to a continual instream of emails , possibly phonecalls. in short, knowing and understanding the intimate details of a job are more important than ever.
Furthermore, with baby boomers retiring, the success of many companies in the coming decade will be based on how well they can retain their workers and keep them actively engaged in their duties.
my point: the lazy worker syndrome is best dealt with by attempting to get the employee to re-engage with their work. Firing someone is best left for employees that refuse to re-engage.
” there’s plenty of people who’d love a real opportunity to work.”
More like there’s plenty of people who’d love a real opportunity to get paid.
And what GV said.
Baby boomers retiring? When did that happen? With the removal of mandatory retirement at 65 these fuckers are now staying forever………geezuz, who in their right mind has not planned for a retirement and not take it? Oh yeah, now I remember…….it would be those who did not have a plan in place and just hoped to wake up one day and be retired and the rest would take care of itself………NOT!
Imagine working for 40+ years only to spend the after-work years in one of those city owned housing highrises with Shopping Cart Shirley and the rest of her ilk. FML
For once, I agree with Koda 110%.
Thanks PK 🙂
I’ve heard that they are extending the age of retirement to 75 yrs.
Do you guys know what this means?
Another ROLLING STONES WORLD TOUR!!!!!!! WuhOOO!!!
