> Great, so you have to pretend 40 hours a week

I think this is an important realization - you are in a sense being paid to play a role at work, and there is a script for that role that everyone expects you to follow.

One of the benefits of having such a script is that it standardizes how to interact with people in a particular role, and reduces the friction of having to change workflow based on a specific person.
