I've been somewhere that did this, and it worked reasonably well.
This isn't always true. "On edge" might depend on how shitty the management/culture is. And I personally can enjoy my time doing simple labor tasks. It can be a great time to enjoy music, podcasts, or just think.
"Because the Undetectable Firearms Act makes illegal any firearm that cannot be detected by a metal detector, every firearm must contain some amount of metal. This means that a plastic 3D printed firearm must have a metal plate inserted into the printed body"
It's not comfortable to do, but I will jump in and veto his commitments right there if they are clearly not attainable.
The stakeholders tend to be accepting of the fact that things are more complex to implement than just: "make the software do X", but my (technical) manager always seems a bit baffled. In the long run, I know he values this about me, but it frustrates me to no end.
(And I won't even mention what is in the "similar items" on the page..)
Let's take "most" people to be 50% of the population. The Seattle Metro area had ~3.9 million people in 2017. The virus death rate is currently estimated at 2%.
So just accepting that 3.9m * 0.5 * 0.02 = 39,000 people will die in the the Seattle area alone seems a bit extreme
