    ⚠️ Productivity illusion: “Ghostworking” is now standard operating procedure in many offices 🧑‍💻🕵️‍♂️

    Fast Company reports:
    📊 58% of U.S. employees say they regularly pretend to work
    📞 15% have faked phone calls
    📅 12% schedule fake meetings
    🎹 22% use keyboards like musical props

    Why?
    💼 Fear of layoffs
    🤖 Unclear expectations post-AI
    🔍 Pressure to “look busy” > deliver impact

    Ghostworking isn’t about disengagement — it’s about performing productivity in workplaces where clarity, trust, and job security are eroding.

    🔒 Surveillance won’t fix it. In fact, it makes it worse.
    🧠 The solution? Leadership that focuses on outcomes, not optics.
    🤝 Trust, flexibility, and alignment create real engagement — not performative behavior.
