One of these workplace trends rising in popularity is called "quiet vacationing," which U.S. News & World Report defines as "employees pretending to be working while they're actually doing other things, like traveling or focusing on personal activities at home." According to a recent Harris Poll survey, 28% of American workers take time off without officially being out of the office and 31% "move their mouse" to maintain online status on their company's messaging systems.
Hushed hybrid is another popular trend emerging at hybrid and fully in-office workplaces. Hushed hybrid is when employees work from home more often than company policy allows, typically with the permission of their managers. It emerged as a way for managers to be more flexible with their direct reports. And while flexibility can boost morale and productivity, it can create issues among coworkers when applied unevenly.
