> Second, there is a fear that employees are goofing off. I've found I generally work harder remote, to ensure I am visibly being productive. The belief in many managers though is that if you're not 'butt in seat' at the office then they can't look over what you are doing.
It's easy, just look at the pull requests!
If your manager can't look at a PR and figure out what's going on, that's a red flag.
If goofing off is a big concern, you are hiring wrong.
- Communitivity 5y agoFor junior coders, sure. As you become a senior engineer, your job is going trending to be more about design and communication, and less about coding. If you are at a place where the entire team can write their documentation in Markdown, LATEX, etc and design in PlantUML or other markup, then that's all in the repos, but most shops are (cringe) MS Word, Magic Draw, etc. There are artifacts, but they aren't as clear cut as a PR.
