CASE STUDY: The Ethics of Looking Busy “Some bosses just like you to be there, whether you need be there or not. So Ihave come up with ways to look like workaholic,” Jane Nugent said. “Ican be off shopping or on a two-hour lunch, and everyone back at the office thinks I'm still there,” she noted, smiling. Jane then listed her strategies:  Before leaving, place a fresh, steaming cup of coffee on your desk; people will assume you'll be right back;  Always leave the lights on and the computer running;  Hang around the office until the last supervisor leaves - then go...  Arrive early and let them see you, your car, and your office up and running, and then leave for the morning;  Go in on Saturday and stay for a few hours – you don’t need to work , just make sure someone sees you;  If you leave early, call back in and ask someone to look something up in your office – they will assume you're at an out-of- office meeting;  If you must make personal calls, always have a pad in front of you, write on it frequently and speak firmly (the rest of the office will think you're negotiating)  Leave personal belongings (coat, jacket) in your office to give the impression that you are returning.
