My entire Friday consisted of walking to my computer at 11:00 am and liking a message on Slack to acknowledge that I read it, then I turned on my mouse jiggler and snuggled with my dogs and let them lick my face. I still billed 8 hours

....turned on your mouse jiggler.....

I'm not sure I want to know....

I shared my mouse jiggler link above lmao - it's a pretty good one. It's got three modes that change with the touch of button. It's got an on/off light, it's undetectable, and silent.

People like you are the reason our bosses are going to force us all back to the office permanently

No, I have all my bases covered and my team is happy, my F100 company just has notoriously great WLB and I'm relatively underutilized atm. My superiors are quite impressed with my performance when I am working, and I'm one of the highest performing PMs in the department, I'm just not maxing myself out as much as I could. Besides, my contract is full remote, so even when the company forces most employees back to the office, forcing me to do so would be a violation of my contract. :)
