I have Teams installed on my phone (in a special work partition). A mouse jiggler let's me move around the house, go on walks, change the laundry all while being able to immediately respond to anyone reaching out.

Management is pretty bad about actually doing their jobs to keep a steady stream of work coming my way. They're too disorganized to actually plan effectively so there's always one team under crunch while everyone else is waiting around for them to finish.

If I ever actually tell them I don't have enough work to do, they'll happily fill my time with extremely obvious bullshit busywork (like, why don't you take yet another HR diversity survey?) So I just don't say anything and let the work trickle in and everyone seems really happy with this setup (3 straight years of very positive reviews). A mouse jiggler letting me be 'on call' during the slow months has been huge for my sanity.

Not all work can be parallelised.
