Study finds 80% of young workers are pretending to be productive at work 👀💻 A new study has found that 80% of Gen Z workers admit to faking productivity at work, more than any other generation. The research found many employees spend hours each week creating the appearance of being busy, despite having already finished their tasks. Common tactics include keeping unnecessary tabs open, delaying replies to messages and using software to keep their computer active. Across all age groups, 66% of workers admitted to pretending to be busy, while 73% of managers said they do the same. Researchers say the trend is often driven by workplace cultures that reward visibility rather than results. Many employees fear being judged, given extra work, or monitored too closely if they complete tasks too quickly. The findings have sparked debate online, with some arguing it reflects declining workplace engagement, while others say it highlights outdated expectations around productivity and office culture. #ThisIsMoney #Money #News #UK
