    I believe the exact same thing is true.

    I have yet to see an employer even attempt to prove it wrong.

    Showing up and working sluggishly is the most stable pattern. Getting it done quick and then relaxing only attracts attention and criticism, and as mentioned: More work for no increase in pay.

      The trick is getting your task done quickly and then pretend to still be working on it while actually doing nothing.

        I can touch type at about 70 wpm. Why? Typing practice looks remarkably productive to anyone who doesn’t know what I’m actually doing. I also find doing math puzzles helpful. Making little calculations and drawing diagrams looks super impressive to clueless managers. Of course, such strategies depend on apathetic managers.
