Was catching up with a friend who hast some IT work in a trading company.
He says their computers will be locked down after a period of inactivity. And their work is measured by how active they are.

So there are these devices on Amazon that move the mouse for you so the inactivity algorithm breaks and you're always online and active!
As a very hard working person I sometimes feel like an idiot.

- titanomachy 5y agoSlacking off doesn’t really make you happy, it kind of just saps your energy. In my experience as a reforming slacker.
- Shugarl 5y agoThere's a difference between slacking off and being forced to always be "productive"
- sascha_sl 5y agoHaving (untreated) ADHD and spending 8 hours in an office is quite literally torture. Even being able to only spend 2 hours max on actual work I was still seen as one of the more productive people in the company, ironically. But those 6 hours of either doing nothing or trying really hard to force your attention to come together are the actual work. I'm very happy with remote work. I can actually find things to do in between that would definitely not be considered working that lets me spend more time being productive overall.
