ResumeTemplates.com Survey: 1 in 8 Workers Say Honestly Answering “What Did You Do Last Week?” Could Get Them Fired

Published

Workers admit to stretching tasks, keeping work apps open for appearances, and even lying about their productivity

SEATTLE, March 13, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — ResumeTemplates.com, the leading platform for free professional resume templates and examples, a March 2025 survey examining how employees would respond if required to submit a detailed report of their weekly work activities. The survey of 1,200 full-time U.S. workers found that one in eight believe they would face consequences if they were completely honest about their productivity, and many would lie to avoid potential repercussions.

“Gen Zers in particular tend to do what’s required of them but aren’t willing to overextend themselves unless it’s going to lead to a promotion.”

Among workers surveyed, 17% admit they work fewer than 30 hours per week despite being employed full-time, with Gen Z workers the most likely to underwork. Nearly one-third (32%) of Gen Zers say they work 30 hours or less, and 10% acknowledge working 20 hours or fewer. Millennials (20%) are also more likely to report a reduced workload compared to just 13% of workers aged 45 and older.

Many employees who aren’t putting in full-time hours actively try to appear busy. The most common tactics include stretching tasks throughout the day rather than completing them quickly (71%) and keeping work apps open while handling personal tasks (47%). Additionally, 26% delay task submissions until the deadline, 21% send emails or Slack messages outside work hours to create the illusion of productivity, and 17% attend unnecessary meetings to seem engaged.

Concerns over transparency are particularly pronounced among younger employees. Among Gen Zers, 19% say they would worry about facing consequences if they had to submit a completely honest, detailed report of their weekly activities. Within the group of Gen Z employees working 30 hours or less per week, this figure rises to 29%. Furthermore, 13% of Gen Zers admit they would lie on such a report.

“Workload depends on the role, industry, and level, but early-career workers often complete tasks quickly, leaving downtime,” says ResumeTemplates’ Chief Career Strategist Julia Toothacre. “Gen Zers in particular tend to do what’s required of them but aren’t willing to overextend themselves unless it’s going to lead to a promotion.”

This survey, conducted in February 2025 via Pollfish, included 1,200 U.S. full-time workers. Participants were selected based on demographic criteria and screening questions.

Endless Access and Ink & Switch Launch Backstitch, a Real-Time Collaboration Plugin That Goes Beyond Git for Godot

Published

on

By

The new open-source tool brings Google Docs–style collaboration to the Godot editor for artists, programmers, jam teams, indie studios, and classrooms alike.

WILMINGTON, Del., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Backstitch is now in public alpha. The plugin, developed by Ink & Switch under a brief commissioned by Endless Access and funded by the Endless Foundation, brings real-time version control and collaboration to the Godot game engine. You can try it today at backstitch.dev.

Git wasn’t built for games

Version control has long been a friction point in Godot development. Artists hit merge conflicts that break scenes. Programmers spend their time fixing teammates’ Git issues instead of writing code. Less-technical contributors get locked out of projects entirely. Git was built for code, but games are far more than code.

Backstitch brings real-time, Google Docs-style collaboration directly into the Godot editor, whenever you save, your changes are automatically shared with your team, with intelligent automatic merging so you’re never stuck with a broken scene. Teams can view a full history with visual diffs, revert to older versions, and create and merge branches, all without leaving Godot or touching a terminal.

“Version control is something anyone should have access to, not just programmers,” said Paul, researcher at Ink & Switch. “Students don’t care about version control. They want to build a game and collaborate quickly. That’s exactly the right demand: get out of the way and enable creative work.”

Currently in alpha, with real-world testing underway

Backstitch is in alpha, and the current focus is gathering feedback from real-world use. Endless Access is testing the plugin with students in an upcoming game jam and across its learning programs, while Ink & Switch is engaging Godot developers and indie teams to try it in their own workflows. Early use within Endless Access, including prototyping work on Threadbare (the open-source game with a Best of GDC mention), has helped shape the tool.

Backstitch supports both online sync and fully offline workflows. It is free and open-source, and was recently presented at GodotCon Amsterdam in the session Beyond Git: Real-Time Version Control for Godot.

Genesis Computing Announced as Validated Technology Partner of Databricks

Published

By

NEW YORK, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Genesis Computing, the agentic data engineering platform, today announced it has become a Validated Technology Partner of Databricks, the Data and AI company.

Through the partnership, Genesis’s pretrained autonomous agents can now deploy directly within Databricks environments, enabling enterprises to automate complex data engineering workflows securely inside their own infrastructure.

Genesis provides autonomous agents purpose-built for enterprise data engineering. Powered by the Genesis Context Graph, the platform gives agents contextual awareness of enterprise systems, workflows, governance policies, and business context by continuously learning from an organization’s existing data estate.

Deployed directly within customers’ own environment, including Databricks, and other major cloud and data platforms, Genesis transforms fragmented institutional knowledge into operational assets that agents can act on autonomously.

Why This Matters for Databricks Customers

For Databricks customers, Genesis agents automate data engineering tasks such as complex migrations, data pipeline RCAs and customer data onboarding directly within the Databricks platform while understanding Delta Lake assets, respecting Unity Catalog governance, and executing workflows using existing enterprise tools.

Data never leaves their Databricks account.

Governance is enforced by design which means Databricks customers can automate pipeline development, legacy migrations, data catalog management, testing, and documentation while maintaining compliance and data residency requirements—all natively within their trusted Databricks platform built on lakehouse architecture.

Customer Results

Genesis delivers outcomes, not just co-pilot suggestions, through autonomous agents that execute end-to-end data engineering work, embedding semantic understanding in agent workflows, and natively handling structured and unstructured data preparation.

Real results: Healthcare data platform Abacus Insights, deployed Genesis agents within Databricks to automate customer data mapping and pipeline creation, reducing deployment timelines from months to weeks, accelerating discovery and mapping from weeks to days, cutting pipeline engineering effort by more than 50%.

About Genesis Computing

Founded in 2024 by data and financial industry luminaries, Matt Glickman and Justin Langseth, Genesis Computing is the autonomous data engineering platform built from the ground up to address the growing complexity of enterprise data engineering and the industry-wide data labor shortage. Genesis deploys AI agents securely within enterprise environments to deliver end-to-end data engineering outcomes and transform institutional knowledge into operational intelligence.
