Management != monitoring presence of butt in the seat.
You bring up very good points and that’s exactly what management is supposed to be about. Enable everyone to perform at their best as best as possible. It’s just that it’s hard and people resort to indirect markers. “Does she come to office on time?” “Does she spend enough time at work?“
Not many managers try to find out - “is she doing the best she can?” “What’s preventing her from that?” “How can I help her?”
How many managers have a real good relationship with their team that the team shares their real issues preventing them? How many team members feel judged or not heard?
All these have nothing to do with working from home or remote btw.
- grogenaut 6y agoI do think plenty of managers who have to manage out someone like the guy who will not stop doing the side hustle get a ton of shit on forums like these. Hell as a pair I had to send a coworker home because he was so embroiled in day trading. At one point I closed his laptop and said "your either here to work or you can go home and panic about the markets". He got real huffy and then went home. He apologized a week later (he was relatively introspective it just took him a day or so)
