When it comes to work, we don't want to have anything to do with it. And even if we have to do it, we usually think about a little break that we're going to catch in a minute or two. But this type of thinking won't get anyone a promotion, we simply need to look like we're busy!

When it comes to work, we don't want to have anything to do with it. And even if we have to do it, we usually think about a little break that we're going to catch in a minute or two. But this type of thinking won't get anyone a promotion, we simply need to look like we're busy! So this Imgur user TheGhostofElizabethShue made a little tutorial that shows what we all need to do to look like we're working as hard as we can. But that's not all, the images of Obama and Trump were used as clear examples of how it's supposed to be done (and also, what you definitely should avoid doing). Scroll down to get the most important lesson in your life!

"Number one: Get on the phone. Hard working people make calls, probably? All you've got to do is act like you're really making a call, and boom, done in one!" (Image credits: Reuters / Pete Souza)
"Jesus Christ. OK, so maybe try not to look at the camera like it owes you money? Let's try something else" (Image credits: White House / Pete Souza)
"Number two: arms out on the desk, classic power pose, you're working hard and being strong doing it. Nice" (Image credits: The New York Times / George Tames)
"F*ckin... god dammit just stop looking at me. This isn't House of Cards" (Image credits: AP / Andrew Harnik)
"OK, OK, arms out yes, not looking into the lens, nice. Still on the phone... little awkward but OK. Feel free to mix it up but sometimes less is more" (Image credits: White House / Pete Souza)
"Good try, buddy" (Image credits: The New York Times / Harry Benson)
"Number three: Look relaxed. Working hard doesn't mean you can't make it look easy. You got this" (Image credits: White House / Eric Draper)
"...OK. Hey, you're not looking at the camera. Good job" (Image credits: Reuters / Jonathan Ernst)
"Alright this is a little too relaxed, get your foot off the desk man you're not a rowdy teen. You brought a friend though, that's pretty good. Working hard means having meetings" (Image credits: White House / Pete Souza)
"Erm. OK, good practice, and not looking at the camera! Alright, we're getting somewhere! You're actually gonna need a real friend though, or people might think you don't have any" (Image credits: Reuters / Jonathan Ernst)
"Ohh. Er. Maybe other friends?" (Image credits: Reuters / Jonathan Ernst)
"Umm... Do you know what a friend is? Someone you haven't personally and professionally insulted for years, maybe?" (Image credits: Reuters / Kevin Lamarque)
"F*ck me. Alright, you're just gonna be alone from now on. No shame in that, everyone knows it's lonely at the top. Yeah, let's go with that. OK OK, focus on the positive: not looking at the camera, that's good, looking relaxed... like... *really* relaxed... like this is the first time you've been able to relax in months or something. Let's just move on" (Image credits: Getty Images/ Alexander Shcherbak)
"Alright, guys if you're not gonna take this seriously..." (Image credits: White House / Pete Souza)
"OK, you're officially going backwards. You look like a police sketch artist working out of a Moroccan harem. Who's your decorator? Colonel Gaddafi? I dunno, try getting some stuff on the desk" (Image credits: Donald Trump )
"Woah. Alright. Feels a little... sarcastic? Like is that really how you work?" (Image credits: AP/ Richard Drew)
"OK, you're just taking the piss now. Have you ever seen anyone read in your entire life? And I'm gonna say it, this is too much stuff, there's a line between busy and hoarder" (Image credits: The New York Times / Josh Haner)
"ARE YOU TWEETING? F*ck it. I give up" (Image credits: The New York Times / Josh Haner)
