At my last company, we would walk around with our laptops. People would just assume we were looking for a meeting room or had something important to do.

I can’t quite remember what we did at our desks specifically. However, I do remember a guy I worked with used to browse Wikipedia and Tinder.

We used to play UNO. It started with 2-3 people and ended up with being 5-6 people playing and more watching. It was loads of fun
