The Laptop Strategy: A Creative Approach to Office Attendance
This post outlines a unconventional workplace strategy involving the use of a laptop to manage perceptions of one's office hours. By carrying only a laptop and a water bottle rather than a backpack, the individual aims to appear as though they are simply transitioning between meetings or moving around the office. The goal is to avoid drawing attention to their actual arrival and departure times, allowing them to leave the premises early without colleagues questioning their whereabouts. This method relies on the assumption that coworkers will interpret the presence of a laptop as a sign of being in the middle of a workday task, rather than heading to the parking lot to leave for the day.
you weakness disgusts me. when i leave at noon i will say bye to each and everyone of my colleagues and boss.
me as a freelancer
Just bring an extra set of keys to leave on your desk. People will assume you're around somewhere.
I used to walk around with a clipboard looking pissed.
Number one rule of fight club you moron
This is why moust offices around here have the parking lot right under the direct field of viev of the office windows, and the boss right at the corner to the entrance of the lot
Damn that's crazy. I come with a backpack and the laptop in it, and get this, I leave when I want and tell the people in the office I'm heading out, enjoy your day. Nobody's gonna act like my mom and dad, I'm free to come and go as I please.
People don't care and don't think about you.
If the work is done, why not.
access cards are there for a reason...
