[22:14:56] <exec> 08└─My approach is simple, assuming you’re not in difficult financial shape and struggling to find work: learn the fine art of goofing off, like you did when you were a kid.

Or, if they can't, the organization will simply not work as efficiently. To use a car analogy, everyone would be a lot safer if the speed limit everywhere was only 20mph. Forced passw...
