> Moreover, he championed Microsoft's worrying new Virtual Commute feature, which asks participants to consider what they want to accomplish that day. And then asks them to fill out a questionnaire at the end of the day. (A little tiresome, surely.)
This is a terrible way to measure loss of productivity if you weren't doing this before the pandemic. Numerous times I've missed my day's targets because something came up or one of the task was more difficult than I expected is too high to count, remote and in office.
I know I'm being pessimistic, but this sounds like a way to micromanage your employees and build plausible deniability to fire whoever you want whenever you feel like it.

There are so many days where I've uttered the phrase "So this is what I'm doing today" destroying what ever you originally had planned. Whether that's from some emergency/important email, a newly found bug that is critical, or just one of those comment/requests from a senior manager that sounds like it's made on the whim but comes with the un-said "by end of day".
- stallmanite 6y agoWow Nadella just passed Ballmer as my least favorite Microsoft CEO. Who could possibly endorse this idea in good faith? It sounds like something you’d use to keep 10-13 year olds accountable for schoolwork not something fitting for adults in a dynamic working environment.
