I used to do all my work before 10:00 PM on the night shift and then read in between customers at my local gas station. Got chewed out and then decided to do everything slower while taking 5 minute breaks to "restock" the drinks. Overall, I still got my reading and I did less work.
Dipshit manager then says he was proud of me for doing more work. Work culture is entirely vibe based and has literally nothing to do with actual productivity.
I like the episode of Star Trek lower Decks where the captain says "if you have time to lean you have time to clean", and the ship falls apart. In the end they have to implement mandatory slacking off and corner cutting
I work in a building completely alone and unsupervised.
My time cards are physical paper cards that I hand write my days/hours on that I turn in once a week.
There are no cameras, there's no computerized "click this button when you arrive/leave" log... nothing.
I'm slowly increasing the minutes I work before and after I'm supposed to "clock in/out" until I get as close to 20 hours a week as I feel I can get away with since my original stated hours were only supposed to be 16 a week.
