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.

funny thing, i used to work for these korean grocery owners. it was always more, more, more, more, faster, faster, faster. there was never a lack of work to do.

but you know, owners watch their businesses like hawks, unlike "managers" from some anonymous remote enterprise.
