    This isnt a pro work speech- im just saying that any productivity gains benefit the business not the employee.

    I’ve had very good luck in the last few years of intentionally sandbagging my work output to make sure I don’t get additional work hucked on me if I can avoid it. I still have decent output based on feedback from my peers and management, but I know for a fact that I’m only working like half as hard as I could at work.

      If they don’t pay you as much as they could you shouldn’t work as hard as you could.

      Also, if I worked as hard as I could every day I’ll probably burn out pretty quickly.

        Yeah, obviously can’t go 100% every day without burning out, but if 75% is the ideal sustainable rate, most of us should work at 50% if management won’t reward us appropriately.
