I have a buddy working for redacted ultra mega corpo company, he works remote and regularly places 1st in all metrics they measure. He also finishes his whole work day in about 45 minutes. Getting good at your job can 100% mean you're doing the same amount of work as someone less skilled in half or less the time.

It is quite hard to get fired from a lot of corporate jobs. Mostly because they rely on metrics and don't actually pay attention to the people. As long as you're hitting the metrics they have no reason to look any deeper.

It's kind of depressing that they treat you like that but also sort of relieving.
