General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
As long as the work gets done. People "slack off" in the office too, concentrating for 8h per day every day at work is just not possible for the vast majority of people.
Presenteeism is such a daft model for employment. I am not sat at my keyboard for my whole work day. I could, if forced, but I'd literally get less work done and I'd burn out so quickly as to be a liability to my employer. Half of what I do is reading technical documents and understanding them. Lots of the time that means doing literally anything other than reading more documents - they need to be digested and that means not trying to cram even more data in.
IT guy here, the problem here is not the slacking-off, but the fact that security was deactivated
Makes me like them more! Sometimes you just got to be online and if the management just require presenteeism then you get this. If theres good management that require output but realise we are humans who sometimes need to chill out for a time, this isn't an issue. If they're doing this all the time so there's no output, that's on the management really. In the office it would be tea breaks, chatting to colleagues, the general chat at the start or end of meetings, going for breaks, etc
