Americans would kill for those jobs. They were called the good old days here. Job security and no real work.

Sounds terrible to me. Spent the best years of my life doing long hours in the office, even working Saturdays. All that time spent with people that I hate,
now I'm so bitter. Covid what was the last straw for me, you can't hardly get fresh air in the office

Its not like you really work, you just basically hang out.
A funny Japanese story. There was a Japanese dude named Johnny i worked with who smoked. He was famous for falling asleep at his desk, in front of his
computer, while holding a cigarette. The big office joke was the keyboards with cigarette burns.
I mean sleep a bit in front of the computer, doze off in a meeting, pretend you care about the company. And be guaranteed a job for life. Many would take that
deal.
