    There is a great way to monitor employee’s performance. This one weird trick will save you losing your best employees!

    Are their tasks getting done on time and with quality work?

    Congrats! You just learned how to treat your employees like adults.

    Now kindly fuck off and let me continue to work in my underwear.

      Thats the thing… boses are basically saying that they cant do that. They cant actually measure how productive people are so they fall back on watching them like a hawk

      You’re overlooking that most managers don’t actually do anything, so they need desperately to justify their positions. I have a manager who has seven hours of meetings every day, five days a week. We make a fucking app. It barely changes month to month. What on earth are you spending 35 hours a week talking about?

      The manager has so little to do they just micromanage everyone, and cause a massive backlog of work that doesn’t have to exist.

      I always thought that Office Space was satire, but it really is like that in a lot of companies. I spent more time updating managers than doing actual work since I started this position.
