      This is actually exactly the lesson. If the issue in this case was the mouse jiggler, then just working slow would be perfectly fine?! Are they all stupid?

        If you work in an office job you will find that it’s all a scam. You must work very slow. Otherwise, you get rewarded with MORE WORK.

          The beauty of it all is that you can be the most productive person at the company and save the company wads of cash, but show up 15 min late for work a few times and you’re fired.

            I was written up due to having tasteful stripes on my otherwise business casual shoes. Two stripes. I’m a non client facing computer monkey. Everything in the office is a weird game of house that everyone has just forgotten that they’re playing.

          How is that what I said? The stupid is about wanting such absurd things instead of actual productivity.

      Finally. My low sensitivity for gaming is about to pay off.

      “Did you see that email?”

      “My cursor is on its way to check”

      To quote Homer Simpson:

      Lisa! If you don’t like your job, you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way.

      There fact that I have been told seriously, more than 0 times, to work more slowly in my life is insane to me.

        It’s a rachet effect. If you do things quickly, often enough, it’ll just be expected. You won’t be rewarded for it.

        And you better be able to keep up that pace constantly for the next ten years.

        You can certainly deliver things early, just try to stay at a sustainable pace.
