The notion of 'fake work' or coasting in the tech industry has a long history, but experts say it's just an 'excuse for bad management'
Eric Nitzberg, a CEO coach who has worked with hundreds of leaders in tech, said the issue of fake work has never come up in his conversations with executives.
Still, there may be some benefit to companies with larger benches as productivity in companies ebbs and flows, some experts said. Latham of the University of Massachusetts Lowell said temporarily placing an employee on the bench between projects can help curb the high cost of hiring and training new staff.In the 1999 film"Office Space," a worker at a software company charmed a pair of corporate consultants when he refused to take his work seriously.
"I think these 'fake work' people are just people who haven't been properly managed," Latham said."I would put the blame squarely on the managers, not the workers. Most workers want to come to work. They want to show up and give a fair eight hours of work. Their identity is tied up in the work they do."
