> controlling the quantity of work and how long people are in the chair/at the screen. I see where you're coming from, but I think there's a categorical difference between those two. The first you want to maximize, the second is a (blunt) tool to achieve the first. If people prefer to work 4 hours in the morning and 3 in the night, vs 8 hours in one go, vs 10 hours of low focus vs 5 hours of hyperfocus, it should be up to them, provided they deliver. As a manager, it's your job to suggest something, but also to understand not everyone works the same way.
