This Remote Worker Found The Ultimate Way To Take A Nap While On The Job And Not Get Fired For Not Working
Since COVID-19 and just the change in how things are, people have been actively seeking out work-from-home and remote jobs regularly. Many people have found themselves working from home for a long time now, and in that time, they've also found out some tricks.
One thing is that people think it's easy to work from home, but really the boss can still track if you're actually working, so you do have to be actively working. However, that is until this viral TikTok went around after this guy's girlfriend exposed him for his little trick.
I think all of us will probably be using this hack if we work from home or have the opportunity to do this. We thought it would be fun to dive in and talk about this viral TikTok, especially since some of the comments left on it definitely gave even more tips to those of you who work from home.
With this being said, if you want to know what the infamous trick is and see the original video, then you'll need to keep on reading. We're going to dive into this and show some of the videos while also showing some awesome comments left on it.
The guy's girlfriend is actually the one that posted the video on her TikTok showing her boyfriend sleeping on the job.
@poquitamaestritaI think that many of us are thankful she even showed the hack instead of keeping it to themselves.
You can see her in the video showing her boyfriend laying down and telling us that he uses an alarm to let him know when he should go jiggle the mouse so that his boss thinks he is actually working.
@poquitamaestritaTurns out that he's not the first one to think about this and they actually have devices to help with this.
There's even something called a mouse jiggler that will move your mouse every few minutes in order to make it as if you're working.

Some people even were saying that they have software that can do this for you and other gadgets that help you to move your mouse even when you're not by it.
Remote work has become very popular, and we don't see it going away anytime soon. “The pandemic has started a revolution in how we work, and our research shows working from home can make firms more productive and employees happier,” Nicholas Bloom, an economist at Stanford University, wrote in a paper.

BenIt seems like over the last couple years people have been trying all types of ways to make them appear online even when they're not.

This seriously was such a good TikTok that let us know that remote workers are on a whole new level than the rest of us are. I definitely was surprised to see all the different hacks people had in the comments of their video also.
Have you ever tried a hack like this before?
