I used to work with a stocktaking company that was pretty horrible. Extremely petty supervisors that would follow you around like and treat you like a child. Literally every second there was tracked by a gun you carried down and you were constantly prompted to be more efficient. After working for 5 hours I asked when we were getting a break and was told "we legally only have to give you a break after 6 hours". When I decided that I no longer wanted to work there I started deliberately counting everything wrong, knowing that (and hoping) they can be penalised as a company for severe miscounts. I'd count as much as 50% less or more of most things. They didn't realise what I was doing for three weeks, at which point I was fired.
The grind mindset there was insane. People were obsessed with getting their efficiency score up when it was clear that the bar was set deliberately high to the point that it was virtually unattainable. No one ever met a single efficiency target while I was there, even the people who were obsessed and had been there for a while, yet people would constantly try to beat each other and brag about being 4.7% more efficient than the last guy. It felt like a cult.
I actually became one of the more "efficient" people there while I was miscounting, because it turns out you can count faster when you're just pressing random numbers.
