Fauxductivity: Are Workers Faking Productivity at Work? | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G
Workers are increasingly engaging in "fauxductivity," where they give the appearance of being productive without doing meaningful work. Nearly half of managers worry about this issue. This comes as the workplace evolves, birthing new business buzzwords and trends like "coffee badging", which means showing up briefly at the office. What’s behind the corporate jargon and its evolution?

Work is not a problem, it is the communication and mutual respect which misses out between manager and you

[@13sunitakarkik14]

😅 fauxductivity is best done by managers. thats y they get promoted, not only that they know how to show everyone's productivity as myductivity😅

[@shilpisingh266]

We are forced to do fauxductivity. If u complete your work early, you will get more work with no appreciation or benefit. So its better to show that you are overlaoded. This way you will good ratings and less work.

[@shubhamgattani5357]

This advice seems good for me as a fresher 😂

[@chendilkumar1137]

Probably most in journalism 😂

[@taurus50000]

hahaa good one- godi media

[@vsethuooo1]

I had no idea what she was trying to communicate in this video

[@DeepakPradhan-ABG]

Oh Lord! Thank You!!! This explains what real productivity is

[@navneet2649]

When people hate the very life they live - eat, sleep, work, sleep... and have to face toxicity each day to earn bread and butter, why do they breed? and make the future children go through the same! Strange beings. #Child_free

[@sadanandgote5544]

This has been happening in many Indian companies.

[@souvikroy135]

if that is the case than how come YoY corporate profits are all time high whereas lower and mid level salary are same since 3 decades

[@Nickoleen_0_1]

@Palki... Fauxductivity : is the perfect word for ( so called work) what you are doing sitting in the FirstPost office. God bless you!

I did it too

[@mr.anderson5077]

Program managers are best at doing it

[@kbalanandam]

Faking productivity is a burning issue in the corporate world, yet companies often can't afford to address it. The real problem arises when those responsible for tackling it are the very ones engaging in it. From endless, unnecessary meetings to excessive micromanagement and inflated reporting, inefficiencies thrive under the guise of 'busy work,' while real progress takes a backseat. Worse, regular employees-often afraid to take risks-end up bearing the consequences of their in-charges inefficient decisions. The absence of strong whistleblower policies only makes the situation worse, allowing these issues to persist unchecked. Cut the crap and you’ll find that people are waiting to do great work. They just need to be given the chance.

[@maheshadvani8311]

Many employees r not allowed to take any decision They need approval of their seniors for everything And many times seniors who r not capable of taking decisions r at the TOP policy paralysis

[@HardDrinkPeCharcha]

I think we need to seriously think to change the managers in organisation

[@PracheeKorday]

If they want 90 hrs work week at 49 hrs per week day, then this will happen...😂😂😂

[@AkshayMishra-t8p]

People are doing this because this life is to be lived not to be slayed at office

[@jatinmeniya805]

i was skeptical about all this manifestation stuff until i started seeing people in my life actually making it work. when i asked how, they all mentioned this ebook, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. after reading it, i get why so many people swear by it. it’s not about “thinking positive” or luck, it’s about tuning into the right energy. i wish i had found this sooner.

[@jeevandhareshwar1977]

With the number of trackers and accountability sheets floating around, there is very little scope for this kind of a term in corporates. At the time of the annual appraisal, suddenly somehow all trackers come alive to validate an employee's productivity

[@MadhaviT-t9x]

Most of the mid level MGMT and above! These guys usually are the first to come to office and leave last . Those who have heavy work load are forced to. Travel 3 hrs a day and still deliver

[@dhrutosh]

in Hindi we say, "Kaam karo ya na karo Kaam ki chinta zaroor karo" 😅😅😅

[@paris9332]

Government officials, politicians and Managers been doing this for decades. It’s not new 😅

[@shivanipde]

Short answer- Yes they are

[@RadeshyamkarwalRadeshyamkarwal]

i always thought manifestation was just about writing things down and hoping for the best. but after seeing real changes happen for a friend, i had to ask what they were doing differently. they sent me Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it explained everything i was missing. it’s not about wishing, it’s about understanding energy on a deeper level. ever since applying what’s in the ebook, things have started moving in my favor.

[@SelvaM-u1d]

It is the employers who were fauxducting not the employees, Once when you show your maximum potential in any urgent kind of work they want the employees to show the same output even in the normal course of work, In India it is worst and nobody even speaks about this and even media like you are easily tradeable to speak such lies

[@voranartsirisubsoontorn]

As far as I know workers are from time to time doing the fake hard working.😊

[@tkdevlop]

Minimum amount of work for the maximum amount of pay 😊

[@kevinalleyne361]

Ok yes, I re-read emails and click around aimlessly in a spreadsheet on early Monday mornings and late Friday afternoons. I'm out of it within those time frames.

[@satyaambler]

I know an employee who indulges in coffee badging. What works for the persons advantage is his boss is stationed in a different city, he is unable to monitor exactly how many hours the employee stays in office. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@khyatikothari4492]

Why do you need someone to you for monitor 9 hrs … there are several ways to know if person is away for extended hours …. 😮😮😮

[@striker44]

Why manage employee's time in tge office. Manage his/her performance using measured meaning results, outcomes, impact, value-add with clear well written, purpose, objectives, and goals. If the employee does not meet their goals, time to take action. The same is managed at each grade level, which includes the CEO and the board. This way, you get ownership and accountability. Many people are waiting in line for jobs. The manager needs evaluation on his/her performance management in the case you are mentioning.

[@satyaambler]

@@khyatikothari4492 the manager is not utilizing the other options to monitor as far as I know.

[@Iambinge]

I am sure you are from South Indian IT culture . Wants to monitor, jokers

[@satyaambler]

@Iambinge 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

[@AJAYAKUMARTRIPATHY-t8b]

Yes it's true.... I am in the IT industry since last 10 years...... Most are faking

[@abhijitgupta9031]

The opposite of Being Productive is Being Jobless. And in todays scenario once Job goes it will be months or even years one gets a job of similar salary. BEWARE.

[@Bhairavvvv]

From politicians to journalists everyone does that

[@taruntejakurmala8289]

yes its a burning issue,what my sister works some times they will tell I was senior I was guided how to do and I was done it. new candidate none. like that it works.its everywhere who to discuss right now. world is evil.

[@innerpower1046]

70 hours work week and 90 hours work week, also is one recent buzz word, that will make people not to work much, these very thoughts will burn up the motivation of many, along with less hike in salary.

[@InevitableGhost]

Was people not doing these things before pandemic also and even before that. What’s new in this. This has been in private and public jobs for ages.

[@calipdis2]

faking you do work is a work in itself so its net positive productivity

[@GeneralAIIndia]

Oh so it's not only me.

[@hansja622]

Didn't come up really well...a confusing and fauxductive episode

[@SharonY515]

I call BS.

[@Iambinge]

Faking productivity is very common in India particular in IT sector . All day they use social media , office politics and starts sending emails after office hours . This culture is very common in Chennai , Hyderabad and Bangalore based employees. This is one reason why US companies have backend type of work in India Center’s .

[@TheGoat_LionelMessi]

Yes Indians for sure what I see

[@anuk273]

Come to UK . And you will know it’s only fauxductivity that matters 😂

[@Multifire910]

All awardees are fake 😢

[@Quantum327]

Is productivity more essential than timely work delivery?

[@striker44]

Both are.

[@thethirdinsight]

Tit for tat... You get what you pay

[@maheshadvani8311]

Look BUSY do NOTHING

[@rmukherjee1586]

WORST video by Vantage

[@cruelworld9825]

Yeh to dhoti khulwayegi

[@finbrave]

lbdn - look busy do nothing

[@striker44]

If the results amount to nothing, you are out. At the end of the day, it all boils down to results.

[@adityajha6196]

Baap re ye to dhoti khol Rahi hai

[@striker44]

Your manager already knows, except he is a leader.

[@hanfucolorful9656]

Just use the old word -------------- Scammer (of India), people will know what it means

[@striker44]

Chinexe = scammer.

[@JaveedShaik-ry5yu]

one night i was scrolling, feeling stuck. life felt like it was passing me by, while others seemed to effortlessly attract success. then i kept seeing people mention this ebook, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane. i didn’t expect much, but after reading it, something shifted. it wasn’t about wishful thinking-it showed me how to align my energy with what i actually wanted. two weeks in, things started falling into place in ways i never imagined.

[@beardguy861]

Corporate climbers are master at this. They do it and take credit and throw others under the bus.

[@priyaiyer2007]

My internal audit manager gupta in nirmal lifestyle construction forced we staff to fake productivity by sitting overtime to showoff to HR tht audit dept is the most efficient...instead we had just 10 bills n 8 hrs to waste 😂😂
