I definitely sympathize with this. I mean this in the best way: many large companies are little more than adult daycares. And in many cases, it's a feature, not a bug; it's probably about as close as we can get to some sort of UBI. As long as the company is in the black and nothing too nefarious is going on, it's 100% acceptable for people to come in, put in a Michael-from-Office-Space level of work, and go home. Earlier in my career I found myself in the position where I could hide away for multiple weeks and nobody would notice, for this exact reason. I moved on to a smaller company so I could actually do things, but if I were a parent, I'd make some calls and go right back to that gig.
