It is hard for the "puffer" people too.

When they are on the clock, people generally want to be at least a little bit useful, at least do something that will be of value to someone. Sitting there doing nothing is not fun.

I think you don't know people them.

There are lots of people who would love to just get their salary and date people online + do their private stuff all the time, and I think it's totally fine that not everybody wants to work hard.

The problem here is of course that it's not good for people who are working hard.

Sama is super proud that there are only 250 people in OpenAI, he understands that slackers destroy companies.

Pushing underperforming people to do something, anything of value is way more pressure and stress on the performers pushing them than the underperforming.
I volunteer as tribute.
