TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•More of an informal poll, but do you cover your mouth when you yawn when you're alone at home?English2·8 days agoNope. Yawns are only covered if at work, or somewhere with a fancy dress code. Definitely not when alone.
Stone is a common British weight measuring unit, and this is a bbc article, so… That’s why that happened.
TheFlopster@lemmy.worldto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Gen Z is ‘task masking’ in the workplace. How harmful is it?1·2 months agoAs the article points out, pretending to do work and look busy isn’t new.
It happens for a lot of reasons, and I’m sure I’m leaving some out:
- I’m constantly overworked, and pretending to work will keep something new from being pushed into my lap.
- I hate this company and I’m collecting a paycheck until I can find something better. Who cares if I’m actually working.
- My supervisor has been told by the higher ups that if the workers don’t look busy when they walk by, then we certainly don’t need any more workers (despite the fact that the workload has natural fluctuations and we do need more people).
- I only get paid so much. If there aren’t any tasks for me today, great. They’re not going to get me to ask for more work, or work beyond my job description.
- I’m only doing just enough work to not get hassled or fired (a la Office Space).
I agree, but how do I find that special doctor? My bf’s insurance is shit. Every visit to a new doctor costs at least $200. We can’t just trial and error this until we find a good one. He’s likely to run out of money first.
This is why I posted. In hopes of getting some direction toward that doctor without a lot of money going down the drain.
