Spoiler alert: 'Mint rubbing' in Romanian means 'thumb twiddling' in English, or in other words, wasting time to look busy for the management, a national sport perfected in comunist times and adapted to modern in-office work environments.

They print the Romanian term which you can look up.
The whole website is an example of the idea, it would ruin the joke to explain it.

Some might argue this is common practice at FAANG and other large corporations.
