>Time theft is an interesting concept to me because it implies you're being paid for the time rather than for the utility of your labor. Why do you think time theft is important in your job?
It kind of goes both ways though, if you had a less productive day would you be expected to stay late to make up for it? Most of the time you would just leave at the normal time and it wouldn't matter too much as long as you look like you are trying your best.
- ameister14 6y ago>if you had a less productive day would you be expected to stay late to make up for it? Not necessarily, no. If your KPI's and bonus are properly lined up, that could be something for your manager to keep an eye on but you can't expect every day to be peak productivity.
- canofbars 6y agoSo on the same logic, if you had a more productive day you shouldn't expect to leave early. I'd say its fair to say your results are more important than time but it goes both ways.
- ameister14 6y agoThere are a few problems with your logic. First, it only works if you're measured day by day and paid day by day. I don't get paid daily, I think it's most common to be paid bi-weekly. Second, you still wouldn't be expected to stay late or leave early - you'd simply be paid less. There's a simple way to set that up. If you performed above the minimum set for you, you wouldn't be fired or warned. If you consistently performed at peak productivity, you'll get a bonus based on how much you produce. We already do this. >I'd say its fair to say your results are more important than time but it goes both ways. Why? What does the company gain by having you in your seat for more hours?
