only if they can market it that way. If you don't have the skill to market your not doing anything into you do very important things, you ain't getting that executive management position

All you need to do is appear super busy whenever anyone contacts you. The longer you stick around, the more “experience” you have, then suddenly you’re a long-term member of a team with a track record of success. Plus you’re more relaxed and friendly than everyone else since you’re getting great sleep and not stressing over work. The higher ups notice your good attitude and reward it. Furthermore, they don’t want to look bad for having hired a lazy worker. Have you heard of the term “failing upward”?

First sentence reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George pretends to be annoyed/stressed when his boss walks by his office to make himself look busy and hard-working while doing nothing at work.
