This is standard practice in corporate america....

Well, this is true. I think I learned this lesson when I started working part-time as a college student. My first job was working in the men's department of an upscale department store. I'd get assigned the usual shit work in my shift, like folding sweaters, putting prices on things, etc., between helping customers. The manager would get tired of giving me new things to do because I'd get them done so fast. He never told me directly but I could see the exhaustion in his face as he tried to come up with more busy work for me. SO I slowed down, even left work for the next shift, and he started liking me much more.
