Another good one is building stupidly complicated spreadsheets or access queries for people then purposefully causing an error just before you go on 2 weeks vacation.

Always store any of your urine at home in a lemonade water bottle. Make sure your drinking enough water in your diet not to make it look to dark. Then throughout the day "accidentally" spill some in a circular pattern around your desk and near door to mark your territory

I've had coworkers legit get on the ground belly up, as wolves do, to acknowledge my dominance just from the aroma of my scent

Jakes on you. I'm new to the IT position and make sure to complete tasks as quickly as possible so no one complains that I'm taking too long on simple things. I'll have your PC fixed in no more than 5 minutes brah. You're welcome.

Too bad it's not the case at my company.

While I'm fully capable of doing these things myself, there is an IT department for a reason. Which happens to be really slow at my company and everyone knows it

Inb4 your manager has been noticing your production has decreased, and you are a lot more frazzled than you have been... staying later, and CC'ing heads of departments on emails that really don't need to be cc'd on. So he/she goes to your IT heads, and ask to be able to remotely view your screen to make sure nothing is wrong and productivity is where it should be. Lo and behold, you're here on the misc, boasting about ways to eat corporate time.
Wouldn't want to be you when you get that email:

Hi, jawbruh. Please come and see me around 4:00 today. We have some things we need to discuss.

Great ways to be known as a dick and ruin your networking.
-Always arrive 10 minutes early and leave 10 minutes later after the manager.
Good habit.
-Accumulate your PTO days and take every Friday off till the end of the year. 4-day work week FTW.

-When you finish your work/projects before the deadline, pretend you are still working on it so you don't get assigned more work.
LOL at these two. Why bother making power plays when these two make it crystal clear to everyone you're a bottom tier worker and you'll never be promoted.

P.S. Your manager knows.

Tried to raid a corporate fridge once, but then I realized most of the people eat like complete shiit. Maybe I'm too picky with diet.

Sometimes I use caramel syrup for my coffee though.

Have sex with your female supervisor; keep it on a DL. Have her eat your ass. Get that raise/promotion. Enjoy life overall.

You are in this for the long game, try to ghost bulk all your coworkers.

Bring in cake, donuts, and chit every week, but never eat any of it yourself.

Whenever I see open containers in the work fridge (hundreds of employees it's a huge huge fridge) I just dump them straight into the garbage so they don't potentially spill on someone else's lunch.

I also bring my own coffee supplies (cream and sugar) and keep them in a toolbox in the fridge with a lock on it. I wrote coffee cream on it in paint marker so everyone knows what it is but can't open it. They only give us powdered non dairy crap for the coffee.

Can confirm this will rustle jimmies hard as fuk. It's bad enough when coworkers bring food and you refuse to eat it and explain to them what it means when you say "I'm on a cut." Office sloots are pretty insecure, they get pretty mad at you trying to live a positive healthy life and not indulging in all those foods. Bringing food but not eating it would probably get some hella reactions.
