Most office workers really aren't supervised unless you count a manager glancing across the open-plan office to see how many butts are in seats.

Which is also where you get pointless busywork. Doing things on your computer to pretend to look productive because if you were to just sit and think or take a five minute break a micromanager would yell at you or nosy teammate would rat you out as “unproductive“.
Even if you’re thinking through a heart problem or just finished something mentally draining from complexity.

If I am ever forced into office, I will look very productive as I update my resume, schedule interviews and spend hours on https://leetcode.com/ every day! The butts-in-seat managers will probably want to promote me by the time I hand in my two weeks notice.
