Does anyone feel guilty at times about lying? I work using my own laptop doing project work and admin. No company laptops. They haven’t necessarily asked where I am, they simply assume I am in the region. I don’t correct them and generally just avoid the topic like local restaurants or news.
I know they would axe me immediately if they found out. The culture is intense lovey dovey (“we are all a family here type” and “you’re doing a great job but we don’t have the budget to increase pay but you’re making a big impact”). I see the red flags. So I am not saying much. Keeping my head down and working. I speak minimally in meetings and do my own thing. Though I do feel guilty about this disguise and all.
Still, there are no loyalties or job protection. Employers generally don’t care and everyone is disposable to them. Working is awful in general. I’d rather not do it. But since I must, I might as well travel (thankfully I have good health) and try to find some joy in the free time.
Anyone also flying under the radar and doing your own thing wherever in the world?
