This is how, in-office, you get employees showing up at 6am to drink coffee and chat. It is also how, at home, you get employees to install a mouse-wiggling script and never close their laptop. Your problem is unproductive employees - the ones who are going to get you business results are not going to appreciate being spied on and nickel-and-dimed for their time, and the ones who are not going to do so will not be suddenly transformed by you checking how long their laptop is open for. And it just reeks of control freak. Also, I always like to flip it around. What do managers even do? Those layabouts, I bet they're watching netflix and eating hot dogs while sending superficial emails all day while I'm here coding and actually producing value. "I know checking “results” is what should be happening, but guess what? That’s actually pretty difficult and open to all kinds of debate" "It’s not some small marginal group taking advantage every way they can every chance they get, it’s nearly everyone I know." You might be running a bad business.
