#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.
One thing I love about my current position. I’m the guy that gets shit done, “does more work for the same pay” as you put it. But, thankfully, if I’m just not feeling it that day I just don’t, and I get no backlash. I just move slower, people see it and offer me help more than on days when I’m cruising by. No one ever asks me to do any extra work because “he’s probably already busy getting shit done”
