I'm still surprised how close to my last job this is. The do everything, get nothing [1]. Same mindset about being robbed by employees. The worst part there, to me, was the absurdity of it. You have to be on 100% ~24/7 even when there's nothing to do. But you're certainly not allowed to change things in any way to simplify or increase productivity. Something any programmer will cringe at to death. This is something very different from other jobs like mcdonalds where the rush impose high productivity constraints meaning things are already quite optimized. No time's wasted: you're active and for some valuable reason. Helps a lot.

[1] optional bonus: being slightly mocked by less educated people that will then ask you for hints about things they don't understand. Of course, I helped. Slave genes.
