I have a coworker that always says she 'feels bad' when it's slow and there's no work to do. I straight up told her we also get paid to be available just in case there's work to do, not just to do it. I've also caught her clocking out and just sitting there waiting when it was the worst of covid a couple years ago and there was nothing to do for like 3 hours. We work in an office, it's how the job goes sometimes.
She's older and a propagandized republican corporate shill. It's unfortunate really.
