if your boss was out of the office all day, and you were basically on your own, and you had quite alot of work to get on with, how many of you would do it??

I would, simply because the work has to be done anyway. Why leave it until another day when you would have to add that work load to your existing workload. Apart from anything else, maybe the boss would leave a little more often safe in the knowledge that you will do what needs to be done in his/her absence.

If i have lots of work yes it would get done. If I didn't have lots of work then we would play a lot more. But my boss is often out of the office or in meeting so we aren't watched over all day. Oh and by the way I'm not at work right now. I don't go in till 1 today.

I work for a small company with other workers who are in and out all day. the manager often spends time at meetings and is often out all day. Some weeks I can spend two out of the four days I work alone and it is boring but i actually get more work done when they are out, but then i really love my job.

My boss is usually out for a week at a time. He leaves me with a list of things that usually take me a day so I get to pretty much screw around for 4 days then do all my work on the last day unless there is something of importance on the list that has a time constraint on it. Then I do that first. A week out of town for him is 4 days paid vacation for me.....

It is best to take care of your responsibilities in a professional, thorough manner when they are assigned to you. If you then finish what you have to do or was told to do then you can use the free time to do what you want to do.
Also, I would like to add if you are in a type of job where you have to be told what to do or someone has to leave work for you and you don't find it appealing or boring I would like to suggest that you use the free time to get to know yourself and apply for opportunities which you find interesting, stimulating and worthy of your time. Then you will find out how it feels to know you have the perfect job or career when you wake up in the morning and you are so impatient to get to work because you are stimulated to do your best and you find everything you are accountable for worthwhile.

If I have to get something done, I do it, cos there isn't anyone else that would do my work, so if I don't do it now and have a happy boss when he comes back tomorrow, I'll have an angry one when he sees all the pending work...

You would probably be able to get a lot more work done because your boss is gone. They wouldn't be around to distract.

i would get the work done just to prove to the boss that you don't really need him..heck there might be a pay rise in it!

I would do it, but give myself extra breaks, and goof around a bit, just so long as it gets done by time your boss is back
