    Turns out as long as you have your browser and inbox open and frown at your screen when your boss walks by, most people won’t question it any further

      Sometimes, I’ll lean back, look at the ceiling and let out a loud “hmmmm” so it’s clear I’m thinking and doing a difficult task.

      Bonus points if the browser has loaded a webpage, preferably one showing graphs that automagically update?

          As someone who builds a ton of dashboards for executives they absolutely do! It’s also very obvious when an executive finally gets replaced who hasn’t been pulling their weight because I’ll suddenly learn that 3 of the dashboards we made for them have been broken for multiple years without anyone noticing

            Accurate haha. It’s funny but also sad to open a website you’ve built and realize a feature has been broken for years and nobody noticed.

          I think it makes them feel important, like they are somehow contributing something (which justifies their salary)?😁
