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.

As Thousands of New Therapists Enter Practice, INsightium Launches Platform to Strengthen Clinician Growth, Supervision, and Retention

Published

on

By

NEWARK, N.J., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Built by experienced behavioral health clinicians, agency leaders, and healthcare innovators, INsightium transforms everyday clinical work into continuous professional growth. The digital platform combines intelligent documentation, session-based clinical insights, supervision support, continuing education, and workforce analytics into a single system, designed to help organizations develop, support, and retain clinicians at scale.

The launch comes as behavioral health organizations face mounting workforce pressures, including turnover, burnout, and supervision constraints, as thousands of newly licensed therapists enter practice requiring additional support and development. For many organizations, the challenge is no longer hiring clinicians. It is developing them into confident practitioners and retaining them long enough to make an impact and stay within agencies.

“Behavioral health agencies are losing talented clinicians faster than they can replace them,” said Dr. Marlon Gray, Co-Founder of INsightium and founder of an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing behavioral health organization. “Most technology solutions focus on operational efficiency. We built INsightium to address the workforce challenge itself by reducing administrative burden, strengthening clinical development, and helping clinicians feel more supported in their work.”

Unlike traditional professional development programs that occur outside of practice, INsightium integrates directly into the clinical workflow. By connecting professional development to actual client work, INsightium creates a continuous learning environment where clinicians receive meaningful support between supervision sessions, while organizations gain visibility into workforce engagement, development, and retention risk.

The result is a scalable approach to clinician growth that helps organizations strengthen supervision, improve workforce engagement, and reduce costly turnover without adding additional administrative demands on clinicians or leadership teams.

“We cannot solve a mental health crisis with a burned-out and unsupported workforce,” said Dr. Juan Rios, LCSW, Co-Founder of INsightium and Robert Wood Johnson Health Policy Fellow at the National Academy of Medicine “INsightium helps clinicians continue to grow, feel supported, and stay in the profession longer.”

As behavioral health organizations seek sustainable solutions to workforce instability, INsightium offers a new model: transforming every clinical interaction into an opportunity for learning, growth, and professional support.

Lingokids Serves Up a Summer of Interactive Inspiration for Kids — Starting with Soccer

Published

By

LOS ANGELES, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Schools across the U.S. are letting out for the summer as weather warms up and players and fans from throughout the world come together for the greatest soccer competition on the planet. Lingokids, the No. 1 online entertainment platform for young children, has created two sets of interactive content to help kids 8 and under learn more about soccer and engage in safe summer fun.

Kids ready to discover what exceptional soccer players do to build teamwork and maintain healthy habits can explore and play the collection of lessons and games Lingokids created to coincide with the celebration of global soccer. In all, Lingokids has assembled a dozen soccer-themed puzzles, problem-solving games and skill-building activities for kids to enjoy during their online playtime.

Lingokids’ wide range of soccer-focused activities includes games that encourage kids to solve puzzles and gain spatial awareness, as well as help improve speaking and collaboration skills. The platform has also added “I Can Be a Soccer Player” to its Career Lesson series, which kicked off with a collaboration with NASA earlier this year and helps kids learn more about popular career paths.

“When children engage with a topic across multiple settings, it can spark a lasting passion,” says child psychologist Dr. Diana Barrett. “With soccer taking center stage this summer, screen time can become an opportunity to deepen kids’ connection to the game.

“Soccer themed puzzles, problem-solving challenges, and interactive activities not only build knowledge and enthusiasm for soccer culture, but also strengthen important skills that support performance on the field in-including visual attention, processing speed, spatial awareness, following directions, divided attention, communication, and collaboration,” Barrett continues. “By connecting learning and play, children can develop both a love of the game and the foundational skills that help them succeed as players.”

In July, Lingokids is also launching a collection of dozens of seasonal games and activities that help bring summertime fun to life and inspire kids to get outside and explore, create and try new things. Kids will find fun ways to try new foods, stay hydrated, learn what to do on a picnic, discover inspiration for building sandcastles and ways to enjoy long trips in cars or planes.

According to Lingokids’ recently released Kids Interactive Entertainment Report, 71 percent of parents say screentime can be enriching, and 82 percent say their child has learned from time using screens. And, approximately one-third of parents rely on screentime for ease of summer travel.

“We are all about quality screentime that kids enjoy and adults feel good about,” says Lingokids Global VP of Brand Maud Cariddi. “A key part of that is inspiring kids to explore the world around them after learning something new on our platform. Our goal is to entertain kids this summer, while kicking some personal development into the net as well.”

Find the Lingokids “Soccer Cup” in the “Worlds to Explore” section of the app, and watch for “Camp Lingokids” in July.
