Bosses love to think that they know it all, but they operate on limited info like everybody else. This just shows how stupid it is to work hard for a job, when everything is based on impressions and not on any kind of objective measures.
I’ve seen unproductive people succeed simply because they show up early and leave late while doing less than average work. It’s all about appearances.
Sleeping for 10 hours in a closet would do enough damage to my body that i’d quit my job and get a disability pension
I once took a power nap in a walk-in fridge. I put a chair against the wall and just curled into a ball and slept. Twenty minutes of chilly, peaceful rest on the hottest day of the year. It was absolutely perfect.
I tried again a few months later on an uncomfortably warm, but not really hot day, and it fucked me up. Every muscle in my body was tight and angry and I was super overwhelmed going back into more normal temperatures.
I haven’t tried it again because the first one honestly seems like a fluke, but I remember it happily.
This is a plot point in The Caine Mutiny
