It is funny how the department of efficiency is adopting the toxic corporate culture demanding ridiculously long work hours. I get that it is a tool of social control and a way of making people feel important but from an efficiency point of view it is absolutely bonkers, nobody is going to perform efficiently after 12 hours of work.

My humble prediction is that doge Elon's main contribution to the federal government will be forcing a bunch of private sector inefficiencies on it.

I barely work efficiently on 6-8 hr shifts lol, I take “shits” (I don’t actually shit, I just watch TikTok and peruse Lennygrad) and water breaks like every hour, if I worked a 12 hr shift I’d realistically be working like 10 1/2 hrs and dicking around for an hour and taking a 30 min break
