Some people work 40-100 hours per week. If you can quantify your productivity per hour of your work day (Like if a cashier at Mcdonalds can take 30 orders per hour; or if a pizza chef can make 5 pizzas per hour), how much productivity do YOU produce per hour for your company?

But the reason why I tough it out is because I'll get bored doing something else as much as I hate the stress.
