The Creativity People Put Into Avoiding Work
I'll always be amazed by the creativity and effort that people put into pretending to work 😅
→ Playing pre-recorded Teams meetings playing on your screen at the office
→ Using mouse jigglers (USB devices or apps)
→ Putting a small object on a key of your keyboard to keep your Teams status green
→ Working camera off and pretending you had issues to unmute
→ Planning fake meetings
→ Scheduling e-mails (and Teams messages) to be sent throughout the day
When people try so hard to avoid doing anything productive, does it say more about them or the company they work for?
