Proposed solution:

  • Make sign that says "please keep this area tidy." Send to supervisor for approval.

  • Wait 5 minutes

  • Make sign that says "please keep this space tidy." Also send for approval.

  • Wait for supervisor to ask why 2 different signs were sent for approval.

  • Say you'll look into it

  • Do nothing for 2 hours

  • Put up a sign that says "Keep this area tidy. Thanks!" Maybe add some clipart for spice.

  • Tell supervisor "turns out there was a mixup with the drafts but I went ahead and took care of it."

If done properly that could probably kill half a day or more.

This sounds exactly like something from the CIA sabotage field manual, which included a number of ways a worker could slow down or stop production while appearing to be a dedicated employee.
