Fake Productivity in Today’s Workplace

This cartoon originally appeared on ClayandMilk.com.

The modern workplace is drunk on the assumption that more hours worked equals better output.

I’ve worked with individuals who put in 80 hours of “work” and produce nothing of value.

I’ve worked with others who quietly, efficiently complete their work on time, at their own pace.

✅ Manage your time effectively. ✅ Don’t respond to work emails during off hours. ✅ Don’t let coworkers waste your time. ✅ Say no to unnecessary meetings that don’t have a clear agenda. ✅ Reject the Cult of Busy.
