Serfing

[Marquetta]

Pretending to work. Covertly engaging in fun activities instead of work, but still appearing as a motivated employee.

Three reasons for the origin of this word:

1. A [serf] was a form of slave required to work a [masters] land. Lower-level employees in a modern business can also feel like slaves.
2. [Surfing the internet] is a common activity undertaken instead of working
3. Surfer culture is traditionally laid back and does not value working
