One of my co-workers came to me recently and asked me for advice. He said that the boss had approached him and explained that he doesn't seem to be working as hard as the rest of his co-workers, and he wants to see more from him.
To give you guys some background, there are about 100 of us that report to 1 guy who barely has time to talk to us except once every 2-3 months, so I have no idea how this guy collects his feedback or information, but somehow he does. My buddy knows that I have been with the company for 12 years and have mastered the art of looking busy, while also flying under the radar to not direct too much attention to myself.
I thought I would open this up for discussion, since I know there must be hundreds of fastlaners here who do enough not to get fired during their day jobs so they can focus their efforts on their side businesses and true passions.
How do you "look busy" at your job? Tips? Tricks?
