“Fauxductivity” is when you make it look like you’re being way more productive than you really are. One in three workers admit to it too!
Some people use a mouse-jiggling app while others just say they worked hours that they really didn’t.
Bosses are even more guilty of fauxductivity too! Or more of them just admit it. 37% of managers say they’re guilty, while 32% non-managers hone up to it.
So why do we do it? Top reasons given are for a better work-life balance, feeling burnt out, not having enough work to do, unrealistic expectations, and wanting to make management happy.
