shrek

To pretend to be digitally present (green light) while away doing private business

During and most probably post-corona, millions of people work at home. Their employers keep track of them through software like skype for business, where a green light denotes a dutiful worker slaving away at the computer.

But everything can be manipulated and the light can shine green 24 h a day if you adjust the settings..

"Sadie has been a shrek all morning, I messaged her 2 hours ago and she still hasn't responded".
"I need to shrek out this afternoon, I have to go to the hairdresser and I'm out of comp time".
