There's nothing as effective as a good manager.
A good manager can often sense when someone is not doing their job, or has disconnected.
In one case, a good manager came to me and asked me to check the "bossware" software to see if a certain employee was working while "working from home".
...turns out they were not. So we terminated them.
Good manager + bossware = Efficient process.

- scoot_718 6y agoYeah, that's good management, only detect after the problem has gotten too big, and then deal with it in the most useless way possible. Go team.
- rbrtl 6y agoHow was the manager a good manager here? They didn't "sense" anything, they just asked you to show them some stats on a dashboard. They didn't approach the person for an explanation or conversation. This manager totally removed the human from the person struggling with their job. That makes them a good robot.
- kuzimoto 6y agoJust to give them the benefit of the doubt, we don't know if this is the first or tenth time this employee was slacking off, or what action (if any) had already taken place to improve things. I can additionally imagine that koheripbal was not privy to any information regarding that employee's performance besides that one thing.
