Seriously. It's not just the environment. Most businesses discourage productivity by not rewarding it with raises, promotions, bonuses, stock or similar. In that case, it makes sense to be the least productive as possible. The less you work, the more you make hourly and the more energy, hopefully, you have got other things. Businesses that won't compensate properly deserve it and considering how rare raises are these days (outside big tech), this should be something almost everyone should learn. It's either that or work really hard to make less money than you did last year. It's the employer that's incentivizing this behavior, after all. That's how I've gotten a significant hourly raise without getting an absolute raise. Being super productive is for people making bank and suckers.
