I'll never understand people who complain about being forced to stay on the clock when there is nothing for them to do.

Legit, I don't like being lazy at work or standing around doing nothing when there is work that needs to be done. I don't milk the clock either. However if my employer wants me to stay on the clock knowing I have nothing to do and just going to be a present body? I'm all for that money for nothing. People who get upset about that boggle my mind.

I would rather do something and pass the time than literally sit there like a dumb ass doing nothing.

@DeluxedEdition Oh absolutely. Just sayin', if it is insisted I stay and get paid knowing that is what I am going to be doing and they are okay with it. Get me my hours babe.

@MethDozer Hey, everybody is different. I'm a busy body. Somebody at work told me once they almost didn't recognize me because I was being still. Ha ha. That's a good way to look at it. 🙂

@DeluxedEdition 100%. I am kinda the same way. However, if you're going to pay me with the expectation of accomplishing nothing? I will find a hobbie or whatever to keel my mind occupied.

Picture this. You like knitting, if I am going to pay you for zero work productivity, yet you can knit for yourself while on the on the clock.... would you complain about $25 an hour to do it here rather than knit for $0 an hour at home? That's what I mean
