"You know what I used to do in this same job 5 years ago? Listened to media (books, podcasts, youtube videos), workout during work, play ping pong, go to an hour lunch ever day, and hangout and talk with coworkers. "
It sounds like you are saying your employer doesn't really need you. Like they could let you go and one of your coworkers could pick up the slack without breaking a sweat. Am I reading this wrong?
