Who left their full time job at an academia to be an “entrepreneur” here?

After several years of teaching college kids, I left my job and it was the best decision I've ever made. Last thing that made me decide to do so (in a nutshell) the department designed a small private class for four students, and came to me and asked me to teach it for free, and without taking my opinion. I was like you know what, FUCK YOU ALL, GO FIND WHO WOULD TEACH THIS CLASS AND THE OTHER THREE CLASSES OF MINE THIS SEMESTER, I'M OUT.

Where are my fellow time thieves at?

How many antiworkers here are time thieves? I currently work as a security guard making slightly above minimum wage. Even if I do all my patrols which takes me around 10 minutes to do I have 2 hours in between patrols where nothing is going on. I am not supposed to be on my phones or any other electronic devices. But I commit time theft anyway. What are some ways that you commit time theft?
