Most supervisors don’t push that button because they don’t want anyone to question how much work they do. Because it’s the same as the rest of us. Or less.
The hardass bosses who do demand more typing and more hours simply don’t possess self-awareness.

And that would be under the government is propping up companies that are that ineffient.
