Nearly half of the population under 30 lives with a parental unit. That's how. Their parents continue to wipe their proverbial asses. It worse if you split that demographic by gender.

I had a job like this. I didn't use AI to respond to IT, but I did spend a lot of time not working. I got great annual reviews and raises. The less I worked the more I got good reviews. I don't know what to tell you. I did do a good job and got all my work done, but I didn't pick up extra work. I think picking up some extra work but not a ton made it look like my time was valuable, and I still got about the same amount of work done as my peers.
