What do you do when there is nothing to do? What if any is the company policy. I can usually find something to keep busy on my own. At my shop what you can get away with depends on past performance history. An example would be on Monday I did not have a lot to do, and at the end of the day I had completed 2 toner deliveries. Now I had done other things, research a couple of problems, worked on some stuff at my table, packed a shredder up. Point is I did not have to explain to anyone how I occupied 8 hours. I was thinking of this today while trying to coordinate some machine swaps with our biggest competitor. These guys have gps trackers in the trucks and have to clock out to stop at the bank.While I was waiting for the guy from the other company, I cleaned and detailed my truck, spent about 2 hours waiting on him and then went to the shop. No questions asked as long as I take care of everything in my area. What happens if you run out of work orders? Online training? Crap jobs? Sent home without pay? Are you micro managed?
