And keep the job you want by doing it well, not being useless to everyone around you.

Who said that you should be useless? The opposite in fact. People should value and respect your contribution. Not just dump shit on your desk to the point where you have a system for accepting it

Sounds like you aren't making a contribution if your philosophy is intentional inefficiency. Perhaps you're confusing respect with relief you weren't complete dead weight.

Quite the opposite. I'm good at my job. Very good. I'm also not going to carry anyone, because that's not what I'm employed to do.

Your "pro-tip" invites people to walk over you. It's at best obvious, and at worst just plain bad.

Anyhoo. I'm sure you have lots of other people's work to do before the weekend, so have a good one.
