I take all the leave that I am allowed to take. Sick, PTO etc. I regularly schedule mental health days and also take off time when long weekends come. I also take leave without pay if I need to. The days when I am allowed to WFH (one lousy day a week), I also take time out for lunch etc and I meticulously log my work.

I don't lag behind in my work and I work super fast and efficiently, but I never turn in work early ever. I document the hell out of everything that I do with my work. I am a paper-trail maker. I am usually done with my work within an hour or two of it being assigned but I submit it on the last day.

What do I do at work? Usually attend meetings, do my online shopping and organizing, use AI to write my status reports and documentation to CYA and create a bragsheet, take online courses to build up skills and pad my resume, job searches, do all kinds of opportunity scouting for my family and friends, and I am forever looking for alternate income streams.

I am not a "quite quitter". I am a "looking out for myselfer".

We also do not make plans because they were already completed at the beginning of the year. Admin just pulls those plans. I am not sure where the guilt comes from with you all.
