How effective can some utilize time in the office?

Answer 1

no one sits down at his desk, cubicle, work station and works the full time he / she is there. the rule of thumb is a fifteen minute break every 2 hours and a five minute break per hour, then there are trips to the lavatory, water cooler, get this, get that, office chatter, distraction, gossip, a personal call comes in. essentially, an office runs on teamwork so each employee must do their job in order for others to do their job. a supervisor did not get promoted on good looks, he has an estimation of what needs to be done and assigns those tasks to the employee who can complete the task properly in a reasonable amount of time. we all goof all, the idea is not to be labeled a goof all. walking out of the office with office supplies, a pocketbook full of plastic spoons, cookies, etc. from the lounge, obsessively trying to avoid work instead of doing it the right way the first time is not considered to effectively utilizing office time. some utilize time in the office more effectively than others who work with the constant worry of being downsized, laid off, let go, fired, or improperly placed on 10 day suspension in lieu of dismissal amid false accusations and documentation. that's why they call it the rat race.
