That's what the neurotypical execs want and it's stupid as hell

I worked a remote call center position pre-COVID alongside on-site coworkers and we always beat the on-site people, consistently

Neurotypical people also seem to care far more about "workers being worked" than "work being done".

To the point that I've had multiple superiors outright stand against automation of certain tasks "Because then the workers would be left twiddling their thumbs with nothing to do."

"Idle hands are the devil's tools." type of nonsense.

I'd rather have more automation and recreation, please. But no, these men want a captive audience for big-boy story-time.

It sounds like their concern was that automation leads to less labour requirements and eventually potential lay-offs. If you can automate 20% of the work you only need 80% of the original team to get the job done.

In a non-retarded society, people would be enabled to live comfortably when laid off due to productivity increases.
(Neurotypicals are fucking retarded. Who caused the climate disaster? Them. With their "quirks" of being competitive, manipulative, productivity obsessed short-sighted monkeys.)

But no, if you don't have a job you don't deserve to eat, so work hard at something. Anything. Even if it's actively harmful or just not that important. You just need to be occupied.

So instead people have to compete hard in much less important fields (like creative industries, for example game devs during crunch). Or marketing and manufacturing directly harmful things. There's a shortage of focus, not a shortage of workers.

Instead of spending time actively making shit worse, it seems better to me to just fucking chill.
I took part in turning tons of steel into decorative flower beds just a couple months ago. They're ugly as fuck, sheets of steel literally made to get rusty. So fucking productive of us! Good fucking job, yeah? Fuck this shit, it's so stupid. There's not a single adult in the room.

It's almost like the entire point of automation is to make all of our lives easier and not just the bosses wallet heavier

A lot of people complain about traffic and commutes, but the whole personalized media industry since the iPod has turned cars into personal alone time that they don't get at home or office. I've met plenty of people who take more pride in their car and driving ability in traffic than they do with almost any positive achievement of humanity. The marketing of identity with their car and commuting lifestyle is extremely effective.

I seriously broke up with a girl because of this one thing. She was great everywhere else. I found her gorgeous. She was smart. She loved me. She wanted to be around me all the time...but she would not stop interrupting me when I was working. It was sooooo distracting. We had multiple conversations about it over 1-2 months. I finally had to decide that I either drop out of grad school or I break up with her. I might have chosen wrong tho, cause I'm not getting any action lately. At least I can tell the girls that I am a doctor while they walk away from me.

You did the right thing. 100% 'Not respecting my focus time' would be a dealbreaker for me, too.
