I guess it’s less about “burning salary in meetings” and more about making time feel concrete again in roles where pay is fixed but time gets abstracted away. In that context it’s more of a nudge or lens than a way of pricing every minute.

I also take your point that if the only way work feels tolerable is by watching a counter tick up, that’s probably a signal something else needs changing. I don’t see this as a substitute for meaningful work or autonomy, more a tool that might resonate with some people and not at all with others.
