That's a hobby. Photography is mine, it ain't work.
5 years after we leave our current jobs, we will all be replaced by someone who can do it as well regardless of what we think.
I'm self-employed, and I really cannot lose my job unless I hire someone to do my work.

It’s essentially the core antagonistic dynamic between management and labor.
Management is trying to get the most production they can while paying the least. And, by my Ken, it’s an unwise strategy. You’ll end up losing your best workers because a good worker knows his value, and if management listens to bean counters and squeezes the workers too much, they’ll just find a better gig.
In most things, you get what you pay for. Proof is in the pudding
I agree with you mostly. Management is generally pretty oppressive. Pay $10 an hour and work the workers like dogs.

I am the king of doing in a few hours what takes others all day, and nobody even knows it. I prefer to keep it that way.

Sure

That’s bad management though, or at least unwise management.
You pay $10 an hour (let’s just assume this is the bottom level of pay), you’re gonna get $10 an hour guys. Let’s say it takes 10 $10/hour guys 10 hours to do a job.
Or you could get the $20/hour guys, and it would only take 5 of them to complete the job in the same amount of time.
Or, option 3, you hire $25/hr guys, it takes 5 of them, but they can get it done in 8 hours.
Which would you pick?

A Lazy man with Ambition will always find the most efficient way to complete a task.

Every day all day. That’s the sweet spot.

Author of the German Manual on Military Unit Command Kurt von Hammerstein-Equord determined that being great requires you to be lazy.

Very interesting.
Would you say that someone who can convince others to do his work for him is lazy, or clever?

I hope that's the case. You can be very good at what you do yet sick and tired if it as well.

You have to know your strengths and weaknesses. And if you can entice or convince someone to accomplish a task for you that you know doesn’t suit your strengths, that’s a skill on its own.
But you don’t delegate that task to those you know aren’t capable of doing a proper job. You tackle the tasks you are best suited for with aplomb
Honestly, it’s all sales. You are selling yourself, the task, whatever. If you can convince them that doing the task is in their best interest, you’ve made the sale.
You just have to know when to use it and when to step in and use your skill set to make the whole thing come together

Almost every person I know who are excellent programmers or controls people are generally lazy to lazy AF specifically in regards to drudgery type things. What they are not is opposed to working long hours to meet deadlines do the specific things they are good at because that usually interests them.
