    take the george costanza advice: look annoyed and unapproachable.

    i usually open that one task i actually want to work on, and just spread it over the day. when the bossman gets in vision range i just continue doing my task.

    IT doesn’t know shit, i’m IT… i just use a different browser for slacking so i don’t have to worry about cleaning my history.

    other things: if your job requires it you can also look busy while scrolling lemmy. don’t try to hide it, that’s suspicious.

    pro tips: become a smoker (don’t)

    but in essence: always look focused and grumpy. - good luck. 3 years of doing the bare minimum and wasting 40hrs of my life every week for effectively 5hrs of work sucked out all the joy and purpose i had in life. i just exists and hope i get caught lacking so something changes…
