Congrats Dutchman. You have won the rare " good boss". The boss is aware of your drop in productivity, and is assuming you need a vacation or something, but you are just doing less work instead. He sees that as a good thing.

I feel this! I’ve been working with American style startups for almost a decade and now recently moved to a Dutch scale-up. They made me take a month long vacation, telling me to do less, delegate more — and now they’re giving me a pretty substantial raise?? My American brain cannot comprehend what’s happening, I feel like I’ve been conditioned to take abuse and I’m having trouble accepting their compassion.

I managed to complete Starfield during my work hours with no complaints. It’s nice reaching the point in a job where you figure out how much you’re actually expected to do.
