My simplified equation for stress is:
```
(workload) * (giving a shit)
```
Workload is set by company, giving a shit is set by you. You may not last long, but nothing is stopping you from letting those Jira tickets pile up. It's especially a promising strat if layoffs are market-based instead of performance-based.
Of course I imagine most engineers enjoy feeling productive, and wasting everyone's time does take a psychological toll.
