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.)

Freak of nature......after years of skiving as much as I could I got sacked by one employer (I deserved it too). It had such a profound effect on me that I became a really hard worker determined to never get sacked again.
Downside was that co-workers would rag on me to slow down because it made them look bad - fair comment and I eventually found an acceptable pace.
Later on I found a career where I'm on call as needed (*impossible* to skive when attending a call) and the rest of the time I'm encouraged by my employer to chill out, watch TV, drink cups of tea or do some self education.
I love what I do so it's not like real work anyway and I do have a tendency to gripe if I don't get many callouts.
