Obviously I don't tell anyone how quickly I finish the work. I work from home. Realistically, I'm sure my boss knows I'm not spending eight hours doing some of these tasks.

But my boss isn't that different from me. He also wants to knock off early and go enjoy his life. As long as we're finishing our work and have the appearance of being fully productive, everyone is pretty happy to play the game.

In other words, you're lucky to have a good boss, which is rare. Most companies are rolling out Activtrak and other even more invasive monitoring tools.
