58% of Kirov residents admitted that they slack off at work.
A survey of the economically active population of the regional center showed that not everyone can boast of a hundred percent return on every working hour. Almost 60% of Kirov residents (58% of respondents) stated that they occasionally engage in tasks they consider meaningless. On average, city residents spend 27% of their working time on such useless duties — that's about every fourth hour. Moreover, 9% of respondents admitted that they waste more than half of their shift for no reason.
Interestingly, women generally assess the value of their work more optimistically than men. 45% of Kirov women reported that their work is always meaningful, compared to 38% of Kirov men. Age also plays a role: among city residents under 35, only 32% do not believe in the meaninglessness of their tasks, while among those over 45, this figure jumps to 49%.
Analysts also compared the responses of Kirov residents based on education. Among college and technical school graduates, 45% of respondents consider their work meaningful. However, among those who graduated from universities, only 36% are confident in this. At the same time, a strange detail: "useless" tasks take an average of 26% of the time from people with higher education, while those with diplomas of secondary vocational education spend even more, 29%.
The most in-demand professions also came under scrutiny. The absolute leaders in the sense of usefulness are kindergarten employees: 69% of educators claim they do nothing unnecessary. Slightly fewer (65%) are doctors. Next are accountants (61%), salespeople (53%), as well as drivers and nurses (49% each). However, if we evaluate who spends the most time on meaningless tasks, the anti-rating is led by warehouse workers, salespeople, and office managers. According to their own estimates, up to a third of their working day is spent on tasks they consider empty and unnecessary.
