    A third of their job is “fostering business connections,” with the other third being “understanding the company and workforce,” followed by “actually making decisions.”

    I do 40 hour weeks. I certainly do less difficult work than a construction worker, but it’s still considered work. Work is work, whether you’re being paid to sit on your ass and draw stick figures or actually doing continuous manual labor.

    All I’m saying is just because you don’t consider it work doesn’t mean it isn’t being done entirely for business reasons, for the business, during work hours, which they are only doing because it’s their job. It is therefore definitely work. Not “hard” work but still work
