#Productivity #theater is when workers frequently update their status on #Slack or toggle their mouse to make sure the status light in #Microsoft #Teams is green. They say hello and goodbye, and they drop into different channels throughout the day to chitchat. They check in with #managers and just tell anyone what they’re working on. They even join #meetings they don’t need to be in (and there are many more meetings) and answer emails late into the night.
