Usually some form of snarky "we don't give you enough work to do?" from somebody who's not even my boss but one of those types who for some reason gets away with acting like he is.

Of course, with work from home, things are different, but I'm still at the mercy of the time-tracking system: every hour has to be accounted for and charged to a pre-approved bucket... and reading isn't in one of those buckets.

What if you were reading about something relevant to one of those pre-approved buckets?

No offense, but have you ever tried politely telling such people to fuck off?....

...something rather common in the UK, though part of me suspects this would offend American sensibilities.
