Companies want nonlinear profit growth from employees
Then bosses shouldn't nitpick a day with no output
and employees shouldn't self-attack with mental cues

Allow nonlinear company growth
also allow nonlinear employee thinking and output
Slacking is gathering inspiration
Watching videos is accumulating context
Can't demand daily output
Startups even allow months with no output
That's normal

I can only work in that environment
Forcing DDL progress deforms the motion
bad for both sides
Workers shouldn't pressure themselves either
as if sitting at a desk tapping and reading docs looking busy
is how you deserve the salary

Wrong
Salary looks at overall output
not whether one day or month produced
This month output 0
next month 1 million
annual pay only 500k
Won't the boss laugh secretly under the covers?
