I generally suspect folks would be a lot happier if they'd had a few more crap jobs as a baseline!

Fully agree. I cleaned a potato processing plant at night. They had to stop production for a few hours so there was huge time pressure. Crawling under machines to drain waste water tanks (onto yourself as the plug was of course on the bottom), slippery potato-mash everywhere, reaching into and almost running over all kinds of machines and conveyor belts.

All while wearing a rubber suit in the heat of warm water pressure washers and the smell of industrial cleaning agents.

So yes, I'll happily take that 15 minute useless "strategy meeting" with you.
