- Interpersonal dynamics with colleagues and managers can be strained
- Productivity and output may fluctuate with fantasies symptoms

Boundaries: Clear work-life boundaries prevent fantasies from bleeding into recovery time.
Communication: Knowing when and how to disclose fantasies to a manager is nuanced — rights and options vary by employer and country.
