Easy to do as a knowledge worker, but I've had plenty of jobs where you get in trouble for resting.

  calendar store -- one of the pop-ups in the mall during the holiday season. literally just an empty storefront they were able to rent on the cheap. few shoddy racks of calendars. we had to keep walking and chatting to the customers when they came in. In December. For calendars. No chairs, no cell phones. Couple of the HS kids no called/no showed so I was often the only person there for 8 hours. Exhausting.

      I've had sales jobs. I worked 3 hours a day, make a lot of phonecalls, and did power lunches twice a month. This was retail, and for calendars. I was a seasonal hire and had no more information about the product than the customer did, nor did I get any commission or incentive if I sold or didn't sell.
