"Wait, we can do most of these menial and repetitive tasks on a computer? When did that happen?!" About 20 years ago.

I'm the embodiment of "with speed comes experience." I spend about half my day reading news and watching KZread, in plain view of my bosses and the cameras. No one says a word because they'd have to hire two people to replace me, and still lose one of a handful who can solve the most complex problems, and my boss would have to work harder because he delegates things others don't know how to do to me.

These are all common sense stories.😂 that IRS supervisor was a fool. Every accountant worth his salt makes a similar program after the first week on a new job.

It's the IRS, need I say more?

i worked in a woodshop for a while and we made these mirrors on mdf. the back was simple but the mirrors needed to be centered and they used corner blocks for that only we were always missing one. one afternoon I held one of those blocks in my hands, flipped them over a few times and then asked my boss 'why don't we just glue a small piece of wood on this one then you can flip it over and you only need one' he looked at me like was a genius lol

Once heard "common sense is rarely common nor is it a sense" Giving the benefit of the doubt, I'd say most tedious jobs are most dulling upon most minds. You'll easily overlooked most alternatives.

Also in story #6 the manager, knowingly or not, also protected their jobs by not allowing the automation.

In my younger years I worked always for temp agencies like Randstad and Manpower and the likes. I did this together with a mate, we only took jobs that we could work together on. One day we were asked for a job that involved moving two archives from a major insurance company. Archives back then meant racks with thousands of binders with files, each client had their own binder. The job was said to take about 6 months. When we showed up our first day, they presented us with a "script" how they thought was the best way of doing this. We took a look at at and basically trashed it right away. It involved working on floor A, packing the files from one segment of a rack, transporting it upstairs to floor B, switch out the files from the corrosponding sector, move back to floor A, adding the files in the now empty section and move on to the next section as to "not get confused with the order" We asked for a day to come up with our own plan, if we couldn't think of one, we would follow their nightmare. The thing was that we knew they had 100's of the cards we needed to use for the transport and the fast majority of them were never used, we also had noticed that in their underground, and protected parking garage, there was a section that was empty, unused and able to be locked down for after office hours. So... we made a "third, temporary archive" We packed all the files in the cards and placed them, neatly in order, in that section. Those that needed those files could go down to that temp archive and find their binders just as easy as if they had been in the normal archive. Once we done that, we went to the other floor and moved that one directly to the now empty archive on the other floor. And finally the temp archive went into it's new place. After three and a half months, we got a bit worried. Not because anything had gone wrong... but because we were almost done. This was a six month job... we did it in four. In the end we had worried for nothing, the client was not only impressed, they paid us for the entire six months and even gave us the "christmas packet". In my country, the Netherlands, it is customary that employees get some sort of Christmas gift from the company during the holidays but only for those that work on a contract from the company itself, temp workers tend to get their Christmas package from the temp agency...if lucky. We also got a glowing review from them at the temp agency. From that moment on, whenever their was a "special job" we were the first to be called. We also have been asked back to the insurance company for other moving jobs (some reorganisation and upgraded office furniture moving, things like that) We have both worked together at companiesfor the temp agency for a good 10 years, have been all over the country. If needed hotels got paid, travel expenses were never a problem. We have worked in moving, we have made garbage dumps environmetally safe, we have worked in logistics etc etc. And always the "difficult jobs" that required thinking out of the box.Best time in my working career. Story 13 was just an a-hole. He didn't find a way to do his work faster, he didn'tdo his job at all. F him

We had to throw out a pretty gross old couch, which required carrying it downstairs, breaking it up, stuffing the pieces into trash bags, and loading them into the small car and taking them to the dump. We'd gathered the required tools when I asked if the couch would fit through the balcony door. We measured, and by cutting the pillowy bits off the armrests, we squeezed it through. Tossed it off the balcony, went downstairs and picked up the pieces. Saved us loads of time and effort.

During the first march of dimes, there were so many dimes donated that instead of counting them they were just weighed and estimated. This was back in the 40's, so there weren't any coin star machines or something similar to just dump them into. The count might have been slightly off but it was still tons of money.

It's still the best way to count coins, second best is stacking and sliding. Counting them one by one is silly.

I hide wherever I can and turn off my radio. The between the shelves spaces (especially easy to access when they’re behind a ball cage), storage rooms, surveillance camera blind spots, are my sanctuaries. I’d run out the clock hiding there, and just tell the boss I was on the other side of the facility or in the bathroom when they asked where I was. Other times I clocked in, sneaked out into town, got lunch, and would return just to clock out and either drive away or take the bus if I didn’t have a car at the time or didn’t want to drive there (gas costs, heavy traffic, etc.).

At my old job we had a wishing well outside. People hated HATED painstakingly sorting the coins by hand. We were in a very congested very heavy tourist traffic part of the city. We didn't put much thought since we only did it once 2X a month and was low on our priorities list. But when we did it; we had literal bowls full of coins to sort. So what i did was i got a couple of coin sorters i saw downtown (cost like $5 each got 10) and got both a weight scale and setup some pieces of wood for each coins (they wouldn't go higher than a set amount nor weigh more). I also setup designated containers and dividers to easily be able to see and count the $$$$ It saved us a good 1-3 hours vs doing everything by hand and we finished in about 30 mins Max! I also pitched doing it 2X a week vs 2X a month to save on extra effort (coin rolls get heavy after a while). The only thing was cleaning the wishing well everytime since it had to be cleaned daily to avoid overfilling with coins (or avoid getting late night trespassers who wanted change). Thankfully that wasn't my job and I left it to another lazy person to figure that one out 😂

So at my site I have to shovel dirt on a wall we stood, When starting at my company they would use a wheel barrel to and from a dirt pile usually on the other side of the site. I hated hauling dirt, I noticed our site supervisor had a Bob cat, so I asked him if he could move the pile closer and make smaller piles where I needed to fill the dirt. Was way quicker, what would take all day, took an hour or two. Now always ask the site supervisor to move the dirt closer, they usually want us to get it done quicker so they don't mind.

7:31 problem with this is I refuse to buy things for work and it's been my experience corporate is to cheap to buy a scale. I asked my old job why we couldn't do this for sugar packets.

They are working smarter, they are not lazy. Just thought I'd point it out to all the dumb bosses who aren't qualified for the position. Not being cruel here, it's been 100% of my working experience. Have shown a small unit making books and maps for a firm how to cross-train without loss of time, eventually we had less than half the staff (competent bosses must exist, I surmise) and the job was easier and less time-consuming. Have turned a week-long job into a morning's work, then the boss wanted other people to do the set-ups and preparatory stages so I could come in only one day a week. NOTHING got done, because NOTHING was ready when I got there.

In reference to story #17 I'm a draftsman, and I primarily take the engineer's ideas from paper to reality. The one thing I learned very fast in this career. Engineers love big in scope elegent ideas. They will over engineer things simply b/c it will look cool and be overtuned...

Also, in regards to printers, there is also a setting in which you can make double sided, horizontal copies all go the right way, so they open like a book, instead of that other more confusing way in which every other page is upside down. You can also change where the staple is. It astounds me how many people do not know how to use these pretty basic printer settings.

I met a set of politely disgruntled people at my job , the nurses previously to me were trying to gravity prime an infusion line going on a pump. Not knowing any of this I organized my supplies, did my additives and used the auto prime on the pump. Assessment, documentation start the pump 30 minutes total. The people were astonished! Said that the previous nurse was there for 2 hrs and still didn’t get it done. I was invited back to personally supervise this pt for a very tidy sum of money over and above my salary😂

Lazy + intelligent = Time saver........Lazy + Incompetent = Time wasted.

I work as a university lecturer, every week we have designated 5 hrs consultation time spread throughout the week for students to come in and consult, what I did is set an hour of one day for all the classes I handle and because I already have a prepared answer for their every question, each student consultation last no more than 2 mins, I have a 90-95% passing rate in all my class, higher than any other and still get 4 hours of free time every week.

Number 23... Smart officer!

All I'll say is that I skip steps in one of my job's duties. No one will ever know unless they see me skipping steps. The steps I'm skipping were once needed, but that technology is no longer used, and the only reason they're still there is someone doesn't understand how the new tech works, and refuses to listen. Cuts down my workload by hours.

I was a loader for a farming good company and had to use the forlift and also get carts well one day when I was busy doing a forklift job I was asked to get more carts but all the carts were in the far cart pin and cars were in every parking spot so I used the forklift to carry up like 40 carts in the time I could maybe push in 10. Never give a lazy person a forklift

I remember having a cat project which involved us having to create a survey and get results from 20+ different people, I was, of course, the laziest in the *grade*, I waited until the last 3 or so days and created an excel spread sheet which randomly generated answers, using extremely long IF functions working with randomly generated numbers, for example, if the number for question 1 was 3, there would be an if function stating that if the test for 3 in that cell was true, it would display a certain word, such as a specific country, it worked since it wasn't an open ended survey, just copied and pasted all the way through

I don't remember what grade it was, 3 - 6ish, had to do a book report and there wasn't a specification to what kind of book, now our library has all kinds of books, even books for kindergarteners, I took one about kids that like balloons and made my report about that. Got a pretty good mark, I suspect the cheese had something to do with me not getting full mark.

Bagel story is at least 20 years old, probably 50+. I remember reading it in a newspaper, before the Internet.

An advice. if you develop a way to do your job faster an easier, DO NOT TELL YOUR BOSS. Never. You do you and enjoy your free time.

Another one….test out of as many core college courses as you can. Typically the tests are pretty easy, especially if it’s something, like math or English, you’re already fairly decent at and recently took a similar course in high school (so it’s still fresh in your mind). It’s usually less than $100, and I think you may even still get a credit for it. Save your required number of credits for a rock climbing or pottery class.

I worked as a cashier for a while and when people would roll up with rolled coins I would weigh the wrapper and if it came up correct, each coin has a standardized weight set my the federal government, I would just throw it in the till and go on about the day. Other cashiers got suspicious and complained to the managers who told me I needed to count every coin. I tried to explain weight standardization but they weren't having any of it. I told them they can be stupid if they wanted but I wasn't going to stand there and have them talk to me as if I were the idiot in that conversation.

What’s the background game called

These people aren't being lazy. They are just working smarter at their jobs. Lazy people just f- off and disappear so that they don't have to do stuff.

For anyone who is a hard worker and wondering why they promoted the lazy person over you, think about it for a minute. You are doing a good job, take you away, and your performance disappears.

It's an improvement over that F1-but-not-F1 racing game.

Op at 5 is an idiot. He nearly lost half the department their jobs and the supervisor realized it. A lot of times it isn't that someone hasn't figured out the completely obvious ways to make their jobs easier or faster. It's that they've realized that a bunch of people will get fired if they make it known

My field has been shifting towards automation. Now I get paid more to work less, since I don't have to do this stuff manually anymore.

My whole job was inefficient as fuck. I simply made it a bit more efficient here and there and nowadays, it gets done in 4 hours top. While 5 hours I can do jack shit and be paid for it. Of course I submit parts of it piece by piece so they don’t get suspicious

This channel sounds even more like a bot speaking than the am I the jerk one

I worked for Bank of America's EDD Unemployment debit card program. When ever we spoke with a customer we had to update the date of last contact and submit a specifically formatted note indicating how we verified their identity, what their inquiry or request was, and how we provided a resolution to the call. They would look like this "name/IVR NO/SQ1/dob/l4ssn/ verification passed /request/inquiry/ balance inquiry /resolution/ provided balance / ref online banking / survey offered cx declined / caller disconnected". Most agents would keep a sticky note open and type their note out as the call went on. I said fuck that, used an excel spread sheet to create a tool that created the note for me as I took the call. I would just have to select lines of text from drop down menus, and type out the request and resolution. Everything else, from the verification process, to whether or not the customer took the survey was just a click or two. Then I'd have a completed note and could copy and paste it. My team lead's boss was doing a random QA pull on her and she happened to pull one of my calls. She could see my screen and watched as my note basically wrote itself, called my boss into a conference call to ask how I was doing it, which my boss had no idea. Next thing I know I'm in a call with 3 different levels of supervisors, all wanting me to explain how it works. They even gave me time off of the phones to refine it further and about 1 month later someone with more excel savvy than I revamped the entire thing and they integrated it into production. After 3 months every associate was required to use my tool to write their notes, it was pretty neat. Didn't get too much recognition, nor any special compensation, but it was cool to think that because I was too lazy to type out a note every time I created something that ended up being used by over 800 of my coworkers. Oh and I never stopped using my own version. They required everyone to use the one they released, but when my QAs came around it was never mentioned lol.
