In reality, each of those 15 people do a very specific, probably undefined, but valuable task.

There's always some random spreadsheet, or paperwork, or approval that only they know even exists. Or they know exactly how to get that one important system back online when it fails every 6 months.

Management sees those 15 people walking around and think they can just fire them and only get the benefit of the 3, but in reality, it just pushes those tasks to the 3 folks and makes them even more overworked.

Not everyone needs to be heads down at their desk for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week to be valuable.

Well this salad isn't going to walk itself.

My office is a nerd, a hot girl, two cats, and a part-time dog.

Like, 60% of us could die from eating salads.

I'm one of the 3, but I hope to eventually become one of the salad people.

Salad? Look at this dude and his bougie workplace. Due to budget cuts I only see coffee, tea, and depression as "fucking around accessories" at my workplace.

Might be because nearly my whole floor is tech workers though.

I worked with someone who would bring a salad everyday to our meetings and cut it up and crunch the entire time, even when people were talking.

Their reasoning? They had to eat and didn't take lunch because they had soooo many meetings.

Did they do any actual work, oh hell no. They just blew wind out their ass to the right people and crunched on salads all day to appear busy well everyone else did the work and took normal lunches like normal people should.

Hey, these are my emotional support people. Leave them alone.

Really? Right in front of my salad?

We walk around with our salads because we completed our tasks in less time than it takes the three outliers to do theirs. Get good, martyrs.

Why not both.

But replace salads with doing everyone else’s job

You mean I could be having a salad RIGHT NOW!?

Its the fault of the structure tho. If a department hires people without specific goals or tasks in mind and never checks in with each employee properly to see how/what they are doing, then this will inevitably happen. Just view it as inofficial UBI through the backdoor, then its not so bad.

Mmfh - Yah, welp - mmm one sfec . . . mmmgk . . . Yes, ah well, salads are delicious and until David makes up his fucking mind, y'know?

*cronch* *monch*

Mmfh. Swo googh.

I feel it's the autists sincerely applying themselves all day long to hold the house of cards together because they understand the importance of holding the house of cards together, while the rest are only interested in finishing their workday and going home and collecting their paychecks and will get visibly bothered if you make them think too much.

This is truth, this is one of the reasons why so many pieces of shit are pushing "Return to Office"
