If I dont produce now, I dont get paid. If there is nothing to do, I dont work.

I've had jobs like that in the past. In many jobs people are just doing enough to not get fired. There was a job I had working for a pretty big tech company where they had goals for us to reach. Sometimes they were daily or weekly or monthly. They didn't care how you worked to get the goals met, just so long as it happened. So a lot of days we would take 90 minute lunches and stuff like that. They paid us for it all and just told us they didn't care that the knew the job was mentally taxing (it was the hardest job I have ever had) so some days you need some time to decompress and let your brain unlock. If we got what they needed done on time, they were as happy as could be.
There was one poor bastard at the job that spent 8-9 hours a day just filling out and maintaining spreadsheets. He hated it because it was so boring, that poor guy never got to leave early
But he earned his check that was for sure.
