The simple fact is this: My company is not getting 8 hours of me a day. They just aren't. I'm not thinking about my job all day, I'm not working all day. About 3-4 hours of my day is spent dicking around online, eating lunch, having silly conversations on slack or texting my girlfriend. I would bet that this is the norm, not just in my job, but most jobs where it's not very simple to tell if someone's "working" or not (essentially all non-labor jobs). So they can either roll with it and just give me that time free, or I can sit there and pretend to be working with just as much effect, only I'm less happy because I have to sit in a chair for 3-4 hours a day just to warm it. I don't have the mental capacity or the patience or the energy to sit and think through difficult problems all day. I don't have any of that for meetings, for decision making, for groom sessions or anything else that requires that much extra attention. It's exhausting and pointless, as, even if I'm there, I'm at a diminished capacity for productivity. So, just agree that you're not going to get me to work those extra hours, give me that time back, take it yourself, and let's all just be happy and die someday.
