Bad advice - how to create the appearance of hectic activity. How to create the appearance of work and not get caught by the boss

To create the appearance of hectic activity, some employees resort to very clever tricks. Other loafers manage to stay in good standing with their bosses for years and even grow up the career ladder without really doing anything. How can such a person be exposed? The most effective ways to simulate work are discussed by users of the Quora discussion service, which is popular among Silicon Valley residents. We have translated the most interesting statements.

Night letters

Bernard Yu, co-founder of Bombfell.com

These idle skills have been honed by analysts at one bank for several years. To look busy, they walked the corridors quickly and swiftly, as if they had some purpose, almost crashing into corners. So they created the appearance that they did not even have time to calmly turn.

They also used Outlook, which sent out letters on their behalf at 4 am. They tried to make these messages meaningful, not just links to interesting articles: no one will believe that you read Bloomberg all night long.

They often sighed tiredly, puffing out their cheeks, carried a pen behind their ear, supposedly because they did not have time to run to the table. And so that no one noticed that they were aimlessly surfing the Internet, they typed some kind of gibberish while surfing online.

Tablet in hand

Russ Davis

Once, when I was a doctor in the army in the 70s, I was transferred to another base. I was assigned to one of the artillery units. There was another medic who liked to imitate violent activities. For example, he never walked the corridors without a tablet with several sheets of paper on it. He explained this by the fact that when you have something in your hands, it seems that you are busy with something. And it really worked: when we walked around the base, he was with a tablet, I - without, everyone gave me tasks, and he just walked by with a busy look.

At my previous place of work, I used working hours to write term papers, since I was still a student at that time. To hide the true nature of my studies, I never laid out books that were not related to work on the table, but read all the necessary literature in PDF. Since I also needed him for work, I did not arouse the suspicions of my superiors. Moreover, they praised me for my diligent work - despite the fact that I was doing the wrong things for 10-20 hours a week.

Serious look

John Mixon

When I talk to someone at work, I never smile. And it’s not that I’m very preoccupied with business. When you smile, people think you have nothing to do.

Paper

Ajay Murali

To create the appearance of work, an employee can put a piece of paper on the table and constantly write something on it, staring intently at the computer screen. In fact, there are some scribbles.

Lunch at the workplace

Kim Moser

If before answering the call, tell the couple business phrases ostensibly to someone in the office and only after that say hello, the person on the other end of the line will think that you are terribly busy.

The imitation of activity is also facilitated by the absence of a screensaver on the computer: people around them see some documents on the screen all the time and think that someone is working hard. Loafers can also eat at their desks, giving the appearance that they don't even have time to go to the cafeteria.

Knock of keys

I wrote a novel at work one day. No one suspected me of a bum, but all because I was constantly tapping on the keyboard, and everyone thought that I was very busy.

The phenomenon of any office work is that in the end the employee himself calculates his own time resource. Not a boss, not a director, not a leader, but only ourselves. The formula is simple - we have a task and a specific deadline. How you spend this time is really nobody's business. The main thing is that the task is solved on time. However, the first rule of the office plankton code says - do not fall. And this is the very skill that needs to be learned. It must be remembered that out of a large number of your colleagues there will always be one Sherlock Holmes who, by deductive or any other method, will calculate the illusory nature of your work. With the help of the following tips, you can avoid these kinds of troubles, or at least learn to leave less evidence to expose and more room to excuse.

1st tip. The image of a busy person is created from a visual representation of his workplace. Many people advise to fill up the office desk with piles of documents, folders and other waste paper. The option is good, if not for one "but". The boss may get the impression that you are unable to organize your personal space and, as a result, adequately cope with the project. And this can lead to very sad consequences. So we advise you to keep the table in order and cleanliness, transferring the "visualization" of the workflow to things specially invented for this. Keep a whiteboard on the wall - this is a fantastic artifact that will help surround you with a halo of wisdom and Great Knowledge. All you have to do is draw a meaningless but intricate graph on it using the pictograms you only know, and your colleagues will truly respect your experience. You can also add a couple of sharp motivational posters and paste over the monitor with a bunch of paper stickers with cryptic notes: "Somov in two!" or "Grigorovich on Thursday". 2nd tip. A computer in an office is like a dashboard for an astronaut. You can't do without it. The longer they see you, the less you want to be distracted. However, in modern offices, the bosses closely monitor what each employee is doing at his computer, monitoring Internet traffic, the content of network folders and the presence of suspicious software. The utmost care must be taken in this regard. Making the appearance of work, do not get carried away with social networks - for free communication it is better to use your smartphone or laptop. But you should look into the computer more often - let your work mail, some kind of table and something like an organizer (with notes and clever thoughts) be always open there. You need to stuff your personal folder in the public domain with super important files, suggestions, auxiliary material and periodically add something new there. Do not forget about the names of the files. Use universal terms in them that are suitable for almost any activity: "report", "monitoring", "direct", "forms", "cases". Anyway, no one will understand anything, and opening is boring ...


3rd tip. Do not leave the premises for no reason. If you need to leave the office, pretend that they are calling you on your mobile phone, act out a short business conversation. Like: “Alexander Vadimovich, good afternoon! Yes, everything is ready. Yes, of course I remember. Oh, this is a very important point, I will now tell you in detail ... ”And running. But if such drama does not suit you and your acting skills suffer a little, then just take some folders, papers, notebooks with you - this will give the impression that you are going to communicate at work or just brainwash over something very important.

4th tip. Let's connect psychology. Some characters will have to act out. For example, to permanently cement your status as an extremely busy person, resort to emotions such as nervousness and irritability. Answer the questions quickly, briefly, and slightly boldly. Such intonations will easily get away with you, since you will really make gentle colleagues believe in the enormous responsibility that rests on your shoulders. And the manner of communication is just an annoying necessity caused by such a huge amount of work.


5th tip. Knowing a certain number of buzzwords is pretty helpful. Of course, as a specialist, you know professional terminology well (at least we hope). But some percentage of your vocabulary should consist of more abstract, streamlined expressions: “this is a too speculative method”, “it is necessary to expand the boundaries more conceptually”, “this format does not imply plastic variability”. And stuff like that. Just by saying aloud a couple of such airy phrases, you add up the style of your own interested speech.

The next tips are blitz.

6th tip. The more calls to your mobile, the better. Naturally, this does not imply a half-hour conversation with mom and discussion of a new steamer in the presence of colleagues. This tip also includes a recommendation for work mail. Send letters! A lot of mail. For any reason, every little thing and every detail. This will not ruin your reputation (on the contrary, you will be remembered as a person who scrupulously studies every element of his work), but the amount of visible activity will only increase.

7th tip. Classic and win-win. Get yourself an office jacket. To always hang on the back of the chair. You came out - and it hangs. And, as it were, it reminds you that you are, alive, healthy, and are about to be back.


8th tip. Stay at work for a few days. For a short time, about 40 minutes. This is quite enough for most of the colleagues to scatter home, and the rest would feel sorry for you unfortunate, and over morning work coffee and the rest would tell. How does he work! Plows for three - will not get home!

9th tip. It would be nice to have a beautiful presentation on hand. And preferably on the topic of the project, of course. A couple of suggestions, a few nice pictures, a good background - and you have a recipe for how to distract your boss from unnecessary questions.

10th tip. But you should still communicate with your boss more often. Just because he is the boss. He needs to see your work. The more questions and clarifications to it, the better the effect. Get him out with questions, suggestions, project details and remember the word "stage". You should always know at what "stage" your project is.


All of the above tips can only be considered harmful if you completely refuse to meet deadlines, solve problems and do good. Otherwise, with their help, a competent employee can easily find a few hours a day to "breathe". Everything else, of course, is already on your conscience ...

Create visibility of active work not difficult. Recommended create the appearance of active work before the eyes of the boss and do it, sincerely believing in the usefulness of your occupation.

There should always be some kind of business paper in your hands.

An employee with such paper gives the impression of a hardworking and dedicated employee rushing to an important meeting. The empty-handed employee leaves the impression of a bum. In addition, when leaving home at the end of the working day, it is worth taking more papers with you in order to supposedly work at night, this will create the deceptive impression that she works more than she actually does.

The computer will help create the appearance of active work

If you use a computer, the casual observer will get the impression that you are working. You can exchange personal messages by e-mail, chatting, and at the same time looking very busy, even if such an activity is not remotely related to work. When you are caught by the boss, you can justify yourself by the fact that you were busy with self-training, independently mastering new software and thus saving a significant part of the company's funds spent on training employees.

The mess on the desktop

Senior executives can afford to leave, leaving behind a clean desk. For us, this is impermissible, as it creates the impression that we are not working at full capacity. Cover your workplace with piles of papers from all sides. For a casual observer, last year's securities look exactly the same as today's ones, the main thing is the quantity. Make the piles of papers taller and wider. If someone has to come up to you for something, stuff the paper you need in the middle of a bale and pretend you're looking for it when he (or she) comes up.

Restless appearance

A conscientious and hardworking employee should always have a restless appearance so that her superiors feel like she is busy all the time.

Staying at work after the end of the day

Always stay late at the office, especially if the boss hasn't left yet. You can flip through magazines or books that you always wanted to read and for which there was never enough time, while sitting up late. When leaving the office, be sure to pass by the chief's office.

Tragic sighs of weariness

You need to sigh as loudly and tragically as possible, especially when there are many other employees nearby, to show that you are experiencing the greatest stress.

As many books as possible

It is not enough just to fill the work table with stacks of paper. It is also necessary to pile more books on the floor.

Clever words

Find more technical terms in a computer magazine and memorize them. Use these terms freely when talking to your boss. Remember that he will hardly understand what you are saying, but the desired effect will certainly be achieved.

Last but not least, don't let your boss read these guidelines.
