I dick around all day at work, I watched YouTube video in the background, I still use paper notes so my cursor can be still for an hour sometimes, etc and I never received anything like that. That's over 4 employers since I went full time remote.
Not saying they're not "watching" me, but they don't seem to care.
Is there a typical profile for companies that go that far in the 1984 crazyness?
- prmoustache 3y agoBesides paper notes and brainstorming with my own self on my whiteboard, I sometimes disconnect from the vpn and put myself offline in MSTeams for several hours, telling my manager and direct teammates that they can use pagerduty to ping me if urgency calls for my immediate availability, when wanting to focus on a specific task/piece of code/resesrch/document/architecture decision. Context switches can really kill productivity. So much that sometimes I do much more work in a 2h window between 7am and 9am than the next 6-7 hours.
