Does your manager let you goof off at work ?

Question

It's better to have fun at work, but there are limitations when you don't do your work. Does your boss let you goof off and have fun at work sometimes ?

Answer 1

I have a somewhat stressful role, so the only way i cope is by goofing off - and my boss just turns a blind eye, otherwise if she saw me doing it, she wouldn't really like it. Easier to just ignore it. However, I'm also a manager, and I see how hard my team works, so I force them to have fun. We have "play hookey" days every now and then, and whenever a good baseball game or movie are going on, it's perfect to leave work.

Now don't get me wrong - we all work hard, but that's why we need to let off some steam. Batting cages, long offsite lunches, etc - all helps to keep work fun. I have a great team and would never want them to leave!!

Answer 2

My boss seems pretty cool with just cruising the internet and what not as long as work is completed.
