There’s an unspoken expectation to always appear busy, even when work is under control. You always need to show activity. Like they want us to be constantly stressed. Sadly, these days, productivity is all about perception rather than actual results. How low this place has fallen.

Would micromanaging be considered "appearing busy"?
It seems to have ramped up in some departments to the point it distracts and annoys everyone.
I think some of these middle managers are worried about something and are trying to justify their own time. We have one that claims we are overstaffed but also understaffed at the same time. I just chalk it up to being incredibly ignorant and not knowing the job or functions of the department which funny enough, is the bare minimum requirement for his position lol
Or maybe be “BE productive” instead of “appear busy”?
@e8 lol so accurate
works every time

@aq A hit dog will holler every time.
@a8 Easy there comrade.
@OP Honestly, that’s the problem. Half of Truist doesn't have work to do, while the other half is overworked. That underworked half is almost always middle management, enjoying the ride of free time and bonuses. If people have to 'pretend' to be busy, something is wrong. Truist really needs to conduct an audit to see who truly has work and who doesn't, and then carry out layoffs accordingly.
