I got fired from a job because I had done this and they couldn't figure out how to keep me billable after that. Well, I got fired because I would "show up late" and "leave early" because there was nothing else for me to do (even though I was actually pulling a full 40 hours, they were expecting 60 out of people).
They could have given me more work, put me on new projects, etc., like I kept asking to be done, but instead they just wanted me to figure out some way to bill the client for 60 hours a week, and not call it "bug fixes" or "new features", because the client wasn't paying for it. That left data entry, which I had automated from a whole day to 10 minutes. They wanted me to go back to entering data by hand.
I would have quit then, but I didn't want to give them the pleasure. A flood had recently destroyed all of my stuff and I used the insurance check to get out of debt rather than replace the lost stuff, so I suddenly didn't need money for a LONG time. It's funny how easily debt can make you a compliant little slave towards people who want you to perform bullshit tasks.
I've been freelancing ever since, making twice what they paid me for only half a week's worth of work. And the flexibility of the freelancing enabled me to pursue a long-distance relationship that eventually lead to marriage. So I say getting fired was the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

The biggest balls of spaghetti code I've ever seen we're always OOP with design patterns. I've seen far more clean C codebases than Java or C++ ones.
