Reasons for fishing at work

Fish at work is an Internet buzzword. It generally refers to being lazy at work, not doing the right thing, not doing the right thing, or not contributing, which is similar to paddling.

But what is the reason for fishing at work?

Fishing or swimming at work may be because there is really nothing to do, and you are in the office and have no choice but to find some fun to kill time; of course, there are smart people who will use this time to read books , learn relevant new knowledge.

I heard from a friend that he worked for a startup company before. In the early days of the startup, including the boss, there were only 6 people, 3 of whom were bosses, who were partners at the time. We hired one technician and two designers, but in fact the work at that time was not enough for two designers, so they often watched videos in the office when there was no work. Later, after the company went through several rounds of financing, the number of employees gradually increased. They told this as a joke, saying that their boss saw this situation and told them several times not to watch videos during working hours, but they had nothing to do and had nothing to do. However, my friends said that in the later period when the company grew, they would sometimes find themselves bored watching videos, but their department actually liked to recruit people and paid them more. This brings us back to the original question: Why recruit two? It's obvious that the recruitment is more selfish. In fact, it is obvious that some people have wasted too much public resources in order to expand their own stalls. Such people are not suitable to be partners.

I also heard a story about a friend who changed managers in his department. The original boss has been promoted, and the new one is neither a new recruit from outside nor a promotion from the department. It is said that he is an elite from other departments and wants to lead this important department of the company. Of course, it is an important department of the company. There is no need to elaborate on the importance of the busy daily work tasks. It all depends on the team atmosphere to support morale. However, after this person started working, the original relaxed atmosphere of the team disappeared. He used to call himself strict. When he received the work report before leaving get off work, he thought the workload was not saturated, so no one dared to send out work reports in advance. Later, what became even worse was that the daily meeting time was changed to half an hour after get off work. Then he happily accepted the boss's praise of the team's achievements, and then turned around and scolded the team members. Under such high-pressure management, most of the employees in the team began to fish and swim, and then within three months the old employees were gone. His report to the company leaders was that these old employees had grown up.

It can be seen that fishing and paddling are largely related to managers!
