  1. @klaatu I think it goes way beyond that, like there are plenty of genuinely useless jobs that people do - a lot because of the rise of finance capitalism. Even if you aren't sweating or doing things manually you could be doing work i.e. research which is valuable to society.

    In the case you bring up, it'd be most efficient for the waiting worker to just not work that day or spend it doing work of their choice. It's the forced work-or-starve-to-death that makes it seem reasonable for that employee to stick around for 8 hours doing nothing.

    1. @csaurus Can confirm, I work at about 25% optimum in order to stretch my limited giving a Potato Knishes across 40 hours just because I'm expected to be there. I get more than enough done, per my reviews, but I dick around 4 - 6 hours a day, easy.

      1. @scribus I have weeks where I get depressed and this is an advantage during those times, but some days I just like to play with Haskell or whatever. Same.
