So... doing their job?

When I read people wanting to have 100% uptime on their human resources I feel like I'm reading "The goal" again and how machines have to be 100% used in the mind of some managers.

And even when doing chore (or posting on HN), people tend to think about other things. Like their current task. Why do you think people find solutions to problems in the shower or just before sleeping? Because you can think about work (and so for most office jobs, working) even when not on your computer.

Can also mean working 5 h instead of 8, but not so little so you'd get fired.

That's not doing one's job completely (if paid for working 8 h), just that no one notices.
