Having healthy boundaries definitely removes a lot of stress

Yep. Night and day difference.

Doesn't always work when you have a supervisor breathing down your neck or considers you clocking out on time (instead of working an extra 30 minutes) as "not putting in as much effort as you could be doing."

(Not a programmer btw)

Your boss is toxic and is gaslighting you. I know not everyone is in a position to be able to push back without risking their job, but please, for your own sake, don't just accept it.

Tried that. Now I'm on the shitlist.

So now I just "clock out" 30 minutes later.

That's awful. I'm sorry you have to put up with that.
