How to handle the guilt of not disclosing to my employer/supervisor I am DNing? (alien.top)

Does anyone feel guilty at times about lying? I work from my own laptop doing project work and admin. No company or org laptops. They haven’t necessarily asked where I am, they simply assume I am in the region. I don’t correct them and generally just avoid the topic like local restaurants or news.

I know they would axe me immediately if they found out. The culture is very excessive lovey dovey (initially anyways - we are all a family here type stuff) but overtime I see the red flags. So I am not saying much. Keeping my head idown and working. Though I do feel guilty about this disguise and all. Anyone too?

"We are a family" is the biggest red flag -

this is so true. my company started including this message in all communications with employees. It's so transparent and cringey, especially considering they are in the process of trying to force everyone back to the office and if you don't like it you're offered the option of leaving. But, but I thought we were a family!!
