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.
