Workplace “cheating” is on the rise — 95% of Gen Z and millennial workers say sleeping on the job, sneaking vacation time and using AI at work is OK

This is the workforce that is going to take up the slack that tariffs leave hanging?

Cutting corners at work is not exactly a new concept, but technology and hybrid schedules have certainly introduced some new ways to go about it.
Take the admission this one Reddit user shared on a subreddit dedicated to computer system administration, for example. In a posting titled Closet ChatGPT user at work, the Reddit user admits to using artificial intelligence (AI) on the job and attempts to find solace with other CSA professionals.
“Just wondering how many of you secretly use ChatGPT at work and what you use it for?” wrote the Reddit user, who goes on to explain that their employer seems to be thrilled with the results. “I just let work think I'm a genius, but the topic of ChatGPT has never come up, lol.”
Hundreds of comments from systems administrators confirmed that they, too, use ChatGPT for generating code, as well as ideas on how to fix other problems at work. But, as it turns out, using AI on the job is just one of the many ways Gen Z and millennial employees are "cheating" at work.

I started seeing it more and more before I retired. I'd see 20 somethings chirping away about stupid shit all morning in their cubes.

ChatGPT is just a tool available
Is Google, spellcheck and Wiki cheating?

Taking a 2-hour sleep break in the middle of the work day especially in a high stress job is probably a good idea. Japan does it..... Italy does it..... I think Mexico does it.
