I'm not sure how this would even work as most cars have Chinese links in some form.

Under this logic popular car brands that would be removed are Volvo, Polestar, Zeek, Lotus, MG, BYD, Smart, LDV, Chery, GWM, Jaecoo/Omoda, Leapmotor, Xpeng, etc - these are only off the top of my head.

How would it even work with Tesla (America's golden child) - a large amount of their cars are built in China with strong links to the Chinese?

Some people like myself work in places where there are still some clients that ask for IE6 compatibility and have to comply with WCAG 2.0 accessibility standards.

It's all about managing expectations. If your boss gives you a task and budgets 5 days to it, then do it within the 5 days. If you know up front that there is not enough time budgeted for it, then raise that. Your manager will like you better for it. If you finish early that's good, get started on your next task or learn something but don't tell anyone. Better yet, if it is a repetitive task figure out how to make that task more efficient. If you are a programmer - write a script, if you are a lawyer/accountant - develop a pre-filled template, etc. Doing this will set expectations from your boss, manager of what you can and can't achieve in the timeframe given, and whether more resources are needed. I can't speak for Americans, but Australia has a contract for specific hours - around 37.5 hours in a week is the government standard. To that end we can be upfront with managers/bosses about expectations and resources and usually it is dealt with.
