Offer your help to someone else! You may be able to assist a colleague with their project, or even just lend an ear if they're feeling overwhelmed. Providing support is a great way to build friendships and strengthen the team environment in the office.

Question

What can I do to waste time while at work? I'm a security guard who sits in a car for 12 hours watching a gate.

Community Answer

If you need to keep your eyes on the gate, listen to podcasts or invest in Audible so you can listen to books.

If you have access to a computer, spend time on wikiHow or Wikipedia, and if someone comes, alt-tab to a workspace with your company e-mail.

Question

I work as a busser at a bar. Is there anything for jobs that aren't office ones?

Get a pair of earbuds and plug only one into an ear, then listen to podcasts or audiobooks via your phone. The other free ear means you can still listen to people while you've got the podcast on. Bonus points if you're using wireless earbuds like airpods, so no one will see your phone.
