I watched 🎥 Matchbox the Movie so you don’t have to. If you must - go for it. But please - don’t do it for me.
Work the exact hours, do precisely what’s asked, don’t ask questions and focus on what the boss wants.
We modeled ‘good worker’ behavior in school. “Will this be on the test?” was the key question for 100 years. Do what the teacher asks for, and don’t overthink it.
