Started a new job a few months ago after working remotely since Covid. I'm back in the office, which to my surprise I actually enjoy, but only because I have my own office and my role doesn't require much interaction with others.

However, my office is close to the offices of several women and I was quickly reminded how much time women waste. They have hours long discussions about anything and everything besides actual work. They take multiple walks throughout the day that last 30-40 minutes.

I'd estimate that of the 8 hours they spend in the office, maybe 90 minutes of that time is spent on actual working.

I don't pay their salaries so it's whatever, but holy shit it's almost impressive how much time they waste talking about their weekend, planning their next vacation, etc. Just totally fucking useless.
