Former body worker. 100% of us worked, because if you had nothing to do the boss will invent something for you to do or send you home.


Are you saying that meant you did a lot of useless work?


It was more like backlogged maintenance. Like "Ok its too wet to mow today, lets get the backhoe and finally redo the storm drain so it doesn't clog"


So that is maybe different. I think the "60%" we're talking about above, to me, is people doing useless work, or work whose only use is internal "political".
