> waaaahhhhh you broke your promise!! to your employer!!

my current employer broke no fewer than two promises they had made to me within a few months of my starting there. they did this simply because they could: it was cheaper for them and they knew there was little I could do in response. so you'll forgive me if I don't give half a fuck about these people, and do as little work as i can get away with

When people treat you badly, you confront them. If they won't change behaviour and you don't have any recourse, you avoid them. You *don't* compromise your own morals, and you *absolutely* don't advocate cheating in general.

This is really a poor mentality and is one of the reason employers particularly in Europe don't want to hire people anymore, many startups are doing everything they can to avoid hiring, exactly because of that kind of attitude, not even being grateful for a minute, idk, shitting on the person that feeds you seems just disrespectful and also, you should be acting like a professional, even when others are not.

I have multiple friends cheating their employers (who are actually not corporations) and working like 1h a day and delegating everything to AI instead and just plain lying about it, if you are paid per hour and not per task, then your duty is to ensure you'll make the company grow with the time they pay you to do, not scam them, I understand why people do it, but let's say what it really is: Scamming people.
