I do know people who use mouse movers because their employers judge their efficacy on business hour observance rather than productivity.

Not to say I enjoy retyping a complex 15-character password for having answered a phone call or refilled my mug.

What do you mean by only purpose? Your room and board are covered? No debts? Nothing regular like prescriptions to pay for?

If you have no other need for the money, I don’t think it’s an issue of morality but rather efficiency. Don’t take the job - better to spend time improving the startup and finding investors.

And if you do have non-startup expenses well then this conversation is a non-starter. You need money to live. Doesn’t matter if you treat the job as only temporary.

A walk outside in the cold fresh air followed by a big bowl of miso soup. Won’t cure it but facilitates the recovery process, especially if you’re a puker, like I am.
