Employee productivity is one of the biggest concerns for executives. But research shows that those at the top may be the most guilty of “fauxductivity,” or fake productivity.

A report from software company Workhuman found that nearly half of managers say that faking productivity is a problem on their team, but managers were actually more likely to admit to exaggerating their productivity compared to non-managers. C-suite execs were the most likely to admit to "performative productivity" among those surveyed.

The trend could be a symptom of the growing expectation to be “always on,” writes Forbes’ Maria Gracia Santillana Linares in this week’s Careers newsletter, which you can sign up for here.

Former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris debate in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump squared off in Tuesday night’s presidential debate, speaking on a range of issues including inflation, abortion and immigration.
