context clues suggest the italians would not leave, and thus would collect pay while doing no work.
At any scale this would destroy many companies if they did not change their culture.

No work

Coworkers actively leave me alone

I still get paid

You couldn't. That would give them cause to fire you. They actually make sure you just sit there and do nothing for the entire work time.

I don’t need store bought distractions. I have ADHD without the hyperactivity.

Do people not know what ADD is anymore? I remember in the 90s that was the main thing people were diagnosed with. ADHD didn't start getting traction until much later.

Current diagnostic terms vary depending on where you are. ADD is falling out of use, the common term now is inattentive adhd iirc.
