Seriously. I do nothing in one of my jobs. But I make a lot of noise to the point that managers think I am overworked.

I’ve experienced that it suffices to give constant updates on things I’ve shipped and where I’m stuck. In meetings, I regularly give a short show and tell of what I’ve built. So far, that has worked out well.

Using a display of suffering as virtue signal sounds not like a recipe for an uplifting workplace.

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. I wholeheartedly agree.

I didn't downvote but I think sometimes work is just plain fun, sometimes been looking forward to go to work. And nice coworkers, was looking forward to see. Not so much suffering here :-)

(Sometimes boring++ too of course, especially once at a big corp)
