Bored government worker complains they were given a $20k salary increase to do 'literally nothing,' while some claim it's a dream job: 'Use the facilities, use the benefits'

All the rage this spring… high paying low effort dumb email jobs. Those who have them are the envy of their friends. Everyone's selling their soul to try to get one. But for real, sometimes the highest-paying jobs are the ones that require the least amount of effort. It's one of the dirty little secrets of the corporate world. But the question remains, how do you spend your days in the office? Scroll Reddit for hours on end? Do every major newspaper's crossword? Write the next great American novel? When your time becomes yours again, that can be a daunting prospect. 

But the worst is when you're forced to still look busy, so you can't get into anything really interesting. You wouldn't want to risk shouting at your screen when you're playing the Sims, alerting everyone to your secret. That's exactly the predicament this Redditor found themselves in, and commenters came to the rescue with ideas.
