English term or phrase: goldbricking
Definition from TapRun.com:
Producing less value than one is capable, while simultaneously appearing as though one is working diligently

Example sentence(s):
  • In today’s era, when almost every work is done online, goldbricking is also known as cyber-slacking. It can be tough for the organisation and its HR to tackle such counter-productive work behaviour (CPWB). Fortunately, there are ways to manage productivity in such situations. HR Katha
  • Goldbricking has become such a serious issue that it is impacting labor and societal dynamics. In 2013 Forbes reported Yahoo announced it would prohibit telecommuting citing productivity issues as it found remote employees were not logging into the company servers as often as office-based workers. Investopedia
  • These tools not only improve productivity but also avoid goldbricking in the online and offline premises. Medium

No  Mira Stepanovic: Neophodno je da i definicija i "example sentences" budu na srpskom jeziku što ovde nije slučaj. / U svakom slučaju vaš odgovor ne ispunjava zadate kriterijume pa ne vidim svrhu davanja ovakvog odgovora.

  -> Rečenica koju sam dala kao primer, tačnije njen prevod, preuzeta je direktno sa sajta. Što se tiče definicije, slažem se, treba i to da bude na srpskom, ali u ovom slučaju nisam je našla.
