Venturing OT here, but do you watch your workers that closely that you can identify hustle vs looking busy? What about results?. When I was in product development and formulation I used to sit with my feet up on my desk looking at data reading texts and doodling. I used to wander around the factory just looking at processes over and over. People who didn't know me thought I was dogging it. Later on when I formulated products that saved $20,000 here and 100,000 there or doubled profits, or led to patents, they understood that appearances can be deceiving.

I understand visible hustle on the Baseball field but it has little connection to any type of work that requires long term thinking and experimentation. Working smart is way more important. Results are absolutely important.

I'm glad I don't work in your office.
