Work is work they give me a paycheck to write code.

Rather write some code than deal with a chickenshit leader who wants 100 iterations of project plans for work we will never do or generating reports that no one will ever read.

Being paid to sit at a computer and not doing real work all day is more torturous than simply having actual tasks and work to do.

That's my view. Going to pointless Zoom meetings and updating associated spreadsheets is much worse than actually doing real work. Of course, much of the "real work" is also quite uninteresting, but that's life.
