    The idea is that they complete tasks ahead of schedule and then slow play results to the predetermined deadlines. It’s hilarious to me that people are saying this is a genZ thing, since this shit has been going on in tech fields forever. Literally everyone I have ever known has taken “working vacations” by pretending some work is taking longer than it really is.

    Bonus points if you are smart enough to still turn it in a day early to keep the heat low.

      It used to be called “looking busy” and people have been doing it ever since working at a job was a thing.

      And thus is my greatest weakness cause I hate being bored so if I run out of work I look for more.

        Get a second job. Start a hobby. Start your own side gig.

        If you just do extra work for the megacorp for no extra compensation, then they’re just using you.

          Yep just me doing extra work for no salary… well. I dunno. Company just implemented a new bonus structure based on the hours you record per project. I know it’s just so they can see who’s underperformed to fire, but I might get quarterly bonuses now for working longer hours.
