I’m hired to spend the time I’ve been paid for building stuff.

If I only dedicate 2.5 hours every day to my work, I’m not meeting that obligation.

If I start accounting for my showers and commute as working hours, I’m being dishonest with both myself and my employer.

Working 2.5 hours per day is enough for me some days to meet expectations. If the person you work for is happy about your output, then should you care ?
If you’re okay working to such low expectations, and do not fear being replaced by automation, then that’s your prerogative.

I would not feel secure in the stability of such an easy job, nor proud of my accomplishments. I also expect that we work in very different stratums in both skill and renumeration.
