How I Skive Off WorkAdmit it. No one does any work these days. It's all looking at crappy websites with your thumb hanging over alt tab incase the boss walks over. Tell us your best methods of skiving, and any resultant incidents. (Maybe your slacking off has got someone sacked, or resulted in a large scale industrial accident.)

I work for MicrosoftMy line manager is only in the office a couple of days a week. The various other execs (we're hugely overstaffed at management level) seem to be in endless meetings pretending to negotiate to avoid our redundancies (though we know they only care about themselves and their mates), so no-one's ever around.
All the people in my immediate vicinity are likely to be on Bill Gates's redundancy list, so we don't really do much work at all, just sit around blogging, downloading music or emailing friends. The senior people know the lack of productivity is due to the demoralised workforce. This will remain the case until June, when we finally get our cards, and from then we'll have another six months or so to work out our notice. Bolox to it all.
