Tips & Tricks for the Work From Home gang

[Food Mane]

Here's the best tip:

Schedule meetings for when you are least productive. Maybe that's right after lunch, maybe it's first thing in the morning. If you push all of your meetings to when you are least productive they won't take up time you could be firing on all cylinders actually getting shyt done. Example: I'm productive in the morning and less so in the afternoon, so I schedule my sales call time and new customer demos for the morning and internal meetings and new user training session or support issues in the afternoon.

Options 1 or 4 is begging to be fired, your IT can figure those out quickly. I wouldn't do 3 either. The PowerPoint one is interesting.

My boss doesn't micromanage but he does check in from to time. Even if he calls me when I'm away and I hit him back 1hr later, he never questions me because I get work done.

The PowerPoint one is outdated with Teams....OP might've copied and paste from an article
Allota this stuff have been covered in r/overemployed

So after recognizing that the mouse wiggler usb could be detected by IT, I went and bought the mechanical one. In worked for about three hours then my plug outlets in my office area randomly stopped fukking working. So the mouse wiggler didn’t work either.

I tried everything(reset the circuit breakers). But it didn’t do anything and the plug outlets don’t work. So, I had to do the next best thing, I turned my teams on “show that your offline”. I’ve been telling people to ignore what it says that something is wrong with my TEAMS but that I’m really actually online. And I’ve been pretty responsive so they’ve gotten use to my teams showing that I’m offline all day. This makes it that no one knows when I’ve taken breaks or left my computer. And it’s only until the person I have coming to check my outlets can get it fixed, then I’m plugging back in the mechanical mouse wiggler.

the things I do to be unproductive…
