I know Lemmy is gonna say “stop being addicted to your phone” but like I’m asking this question with more of a like “fuck corporate” attitude. I mean like, just a quick peak at an internet thread, wikipedia, news, memes, etc. Maybe messages or group chats… Just an occasion glance every like 15 minutes or so to keep yourself sane, like a little drip of dopamine to get you through the day, you know.
Or is a smartwatch hidden under long sleeves better?
Or like… is text to voice better? (Like with a hidden earbud hidden under some wigs to listen to the text, while the other ear can still can have awareness of surroundings?)
#1 mobile data only. No wifi.
#2 have some sort of cover to look busy / stressed. Have an act ready so people don’t question what you do with your time. Keep an unfinished task on hand that you can pick up at a seconds notice.
#3 Hide in plain sight. If someone approaches your work area make it look like you were splitting your attention between the task and the phone, than without looking put your phone down/away and work on the task.
It blows my mind that anyone would connect a personal device to their employer’s Wifi.
Wait. Are you telling me that it’s not normal to constantly have 5 unfinished tasks at any given time?
Ah! Looks like you made the mistake of “getting things done” which has now caused you to have extra work for the same amount of pay…
You’re going to have to cut your losses and find a new job to fix that one.
