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.

you became a good worker....
People always talk shit about menial laborers "wasting time" and "slacking" on construction jobs or working street repair etc., but the institutionalized slacking essentially mandated by corporate america is far more damaging...
