Most bosses: hmm but if you worked instead of doing small important things for your family you could four double your productivity instead of only triple it!
Comment on Do remote workers actually work? Yes, but they also shop and shower

A good boss doesn’t give a shit about whether the workers do other things during work time, as long as the work is done satisfactorily.

Most bosses equate having fun with not working and so not having fun with being productive. However, most workers are in a twilight state of not having fun and not being productive.

At my last office job, years ago when I was young and lived with my parents and had very few financial obligations, I would always ask to clock out and leave whenever I ran out of work to do for the day. It was always busy mornings and slow afternoons. My boss thought I was insane for not wanting to get paid to sit there and fuck around on Facebook (her exact words.) But to me it was worth losing $30-60 to gain back 3-6 hours of my personal life every week.
The boss and most co-workers were great, and the work wasn’t even bad when it was busy, but just physically being present there was soul-crushing.
