Today, it's the 7th working day for which I've come to office to do nothing. My manager doesn't see why I don't need to be in the office. I would much rather be at home and do nothing, than be at work and pretend to do something even while I'm doing nothing. I'm effectively wasting 8 hours everyday. FML

Just remember you are getting paid to do nothing. Not everyone is that lucky.

Make a project of something you enjoy and work on it during your job when you're not doing anything.

If you can get him to let you work remotely then of course - getting paid for staying in bed sounds amazing and go for it. But if it's between getting paid for nothing or not getting paid at all.. Don't push the 'doing nothing' too much. Rather, try to make arguments why making remotely would improve your results or something. And start looking for a new job or projects that fulfill you, because not doing anything (because office time 'nothing' is still quite limited) for a long time will make you go nuts eventually.

She can't. She's got a blister on her little finger, she's got a blister on her thumb.

Since you seem to be that unhappy with your current paid-to-do-nothing job. I would suggest you quit and search for another job. Then tell me where you work and put in a recommendation.

Use your free time to learn something new. You need to master the art of looking busy, and as a programmer, there are endless opportunities to learn more to improve in your job or get another one. Managers like it when you look busy.

I don't know if this is normal in your industry but if it were me, I would look for a new job or busy myself with training/upskilling.

You could get together with some work friends and write some code that will steal from your company. Just make sure to take the weird guy's stapler and blame it on the boss, while you're at it.
