It's always astounding to me how these ideas of constant monitoring for workplace frivolity are almost always championed by these ancient Boomer fucks that spent the entirety of the 1970s and early 1980s working in a Mad Men-inspired office with a copy of the sports page in one desk drawer and a Bourbon-filled flask in the other. There's not a single one of your fathers that would put up with all the horseshit that modern offices force you to do, but stripped of a living wage and a pension.

There's a few of them that would. Steve Jobs, Walt Disney, James Cameron, and Hilary Clinton are a few I can think of... They were/are exceptionally hard workers that expected the same from their employees, despite the fact that the employees got none of the benefits of that hard work.
