What a load of bull shit. I just want a job that doesn't waste my time with managers and work that isn't properly scoped and deadlines that are unrealistic. We waste so much time going to meetings and talking about the work we need to do. Fuck this I'm not giving up pay ill just get my job done in 5 hours then do what I want for the rest of the day.

Nope, try getting into IT and working for the state. You literally will live like this. Benefits, guaranteed paycheck.

I know a woman who regularly goes on 2-3 hour walks during the workday. Every single day. She's been doing it since she was hired. Never been an issue.
