The most productive workers "rest" almost two and a half hours during an 8-hour workday, study claims

No, you are just saying something completely bat **** crazy. You don't understand the tech industry if that's your take away. You just think you do and are claiming to be an arm chair expert based on what seems to be your own personal anecdotal experience which would not be admissible in court, thank goodness.

Complex tech jobs are generations if ever from being replaced by AI. AI cant even get t1 support correct. Good luck convincing others of your fallacy.

Where's the thumb down button?

What a load of crap.

A worker's ability to perform well depends on the job and the person in question. I personally excel at jobs that have little customer service interaction (because I'm an *** to stupid people and I don't like to chitchat) and require higher physical and/or mental work loads. I don't like being at work with nothing to do.

It all varies from person to person.

I work hybrid, 2 days/week in office. Those are by far the my least productive days. My work is highly scientific, technical, generalized and endless in quantity, people are a distraction and concentration breakers.

When I have a very complex technical problem that has me stumped, I get to a point where I could spend 8 hours straight troubleshooting and not figure it out.

I stop. I go to bed. I wake up in the morning and within 5-10 minutes, the problem is solved. This has happened to me so much I have recognized the pattern.

I have found solutions to complex problems by simply going to bed and thinking about it. I'll dose off and on and it sometimes just hits me. I keep paper and pen next to my bed, some of my best ideas seem to occur there....it's quite strange but well documented by many others too.

Furthermore: if your job can be done over the internet via computer, you are the most likely to lose your job to AI which could do your job 100 times over and run Crysis simultaneously.

I would not be so quick to make that generalized assortation. Impossible in my field of work and many others. I have zero fear of losing my job to AI. I use AI as a work tool daily, it can be useful and accurate for certain things but for others it is often completely wrong and has been misguided by faulty web data resulting in an incorrect or skewed result. Some things never change, good old GIGO still exists and will always exist.
