Tell us: What's the biggest time-wasting task you've had to do at work?

Waste of time
[Yup, we hear you, Ed.]

We’ve all been asked to do things on the job that just make us roll our eyes. Often times, there’s a bigger reason why we need to take those extra steps. They fit into the overall goals of a company that an individual worker may not always see.

But, unfortunately, that’s not always the case. Sometimes we’re asked to do our jobs a certain way when we know all we’re doing is wasting precious time. Extra tasks that add nothing to the end result, holdovers from previous ways of doing things that simply don’t make sense anymore. We’ve all been there.

We want to know – what’s the worst example of this you’ve experienced on the job? What’s the most outrageous, face palm-inducing, eyeroll-able thing you’ve been asked to do at work?
