Want to sell the appearance that you're walking to the conference room for an important meeting and definitely not slipping out the backdoor to go home at 2 pm? Well, keep reading, because this thread is for you.
This self-report from a worker on how they manage to slip in and out of the office with ease has been circulating the internet and, of course, others have shared their own tips, tricks, and accounts in the comments.
The original poster reported that they used to bring a backpack into the office but found that this made it too easy for people to recognize when they arrived and left work. This resulted in unnecessary judgments being made that didn't necessarily have any bearing on their actual performance. They solved this issue by only bringing their laptop to and from the office. That way, if they got up to leave their station it was impossible to tell if they were going to a meeting or leaving the building altogether.
The original post made its way around Twitter before being eventually crossposted to Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit. There others shared their similar stories, which shows just how surprisingly pervasive techniques like this are amongst workers.
