the managers where i'm at still do a lot of work

Apparently government jobs. Government accounting teams are very lax from what I hear from auditors to the point where the auditor is basically doing all their work for them

If you just want something that pays the bills do that. There's also Internal Auditing which is a joke. Little caveat to both, they are extremely boring and there's not much room for growth

I drive a floor scrubber. Its either this one, or one very similar to it. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tennant-T20-Propane-Rider-Floor-Scrubber-with-ECH20-/201583173898

My job is basically riding up and down warehouse aisles and then spending twenty minutes at the end of the night cleaning my machine. My mind wanders a lot because it requires so little of my attention, only enough to not run into people or things, and to ocassionally check and make sure I'm not dragging wood, debris or plastic in the brush or under the scrubber.

On top of the work being extremely easy, I get two fifteen minute breaks, half an hour for lunch, and it takes a few minutes (10-ish if I don't do them simaltaneously) to fill up the water tank and dump the refuse tank before each break, and it takes like 2-3 minutes to walk (each way) from where I park my machine to the break room.

Mine. I browse all day pretty much.

Those jobs are rare.

It's work, after all.

I work at a gas station and other than fridays where we get stock and happens to be the one busy day I usually play on my phone for about 4 hours of the day.

Statistically jobs are easier than they have ever been. Americas production per employee is higher than ever. Cashiers are taking more customers, janitors are cleaning more in less time, factory workers are making more, data entry is able to enter more data. What a time to be alive.

Late night/very early morning shifts waiting tables at a 24 hour restaurant?

If you work for the EPA, you can not show up for years and still collect a paycheck. Shows you how valuable that organization really is.

Granted, at least he lied about everything. Some government workers don't even do that. A lot of government jobs are notorious for being easy.

Security supposedly is chill as well.

Except statistically that's not true, by the very "statistics" you're citing. Taking in more customers in a shorter period of time means more actual work. Then the rest means that people are just putting in either the same effort or more but for a higher productivity which benefits their employers rather than the worker who sees a diminishing share of the overall productivity.

I'm a corporate account manager which is extremely easy (evidenced by how much I post here during the day). Sometimes gets a little hectic the last few days of the month as people panic for numbers, but I write here on the 30th of a 31 day month that even those days are still pretty easy.

Money is good too.

I worked as a hydraulic press operator in college. Basically you put a part into a machine, press a button, take the part out of the machine, and repeat. Depending on the work load and nature of the jobs you might have to replace a dye once in a while, but that just involves loosening and tightening some bolts.

Pay is shit, conditions are shit, job is boring as shit, but if you want to be lazy it is the job for you.

Those can be a nightmare around last call. Dealing with half a dozen tables of drunken idiots? No thanks.

That really depends on what you consider to be "very little work."

Not really...my manager comes in at 10, plays an hour of foosball at 1130 and again at 4, and on multiple occasions I've walked in on him doing nothing in his office.
