Remember, it's not illegal to suck at your job, and if you don't say anything critical of the regime, or talk about this kind of thing, you can slow down the economy or even directly slow down the war machine by slowing down whatever it is your employer does. Misplace parts and tools if you maintain equipment. Misfile paperwork and create duplicate files with part of the information each, if you handle data. Make typos that introduce confusion ("miximum" is a personal favourite of mine). Abuse protocol to slow things down over minor issues. Don't do anything monumentally stupid or obviously on purpose, but make little mistakes and accidents anyone could make while tired, distracted, or just half assing a shitty job, a few times a day. Remember, what's more likely to the people who view low level workers as expensive idiots and not real human beings? That everyone who screws up their important job is a saboteur, or that underpaid idiots are underpaid idiots and governments and corporations get what they pay for and sometimes the guy who makes minimum wage and gets zero training is going to fuck up?

That site is excellent. Tons of the original SSM, especially under Office Work, still very much works, but this is sorely needed and I'm glad it exists. I especially like the suggestions regarding dead batteries. I love that so much of this is as simple and petty as leaving the caps off the markers. At worst you'll be thought of as an inconsiderate jerk if a co worker sees you do it "carelessly", and yet, every man hour or penny of supplies wasted by certain enterprises hurts the regime you're fighting.
