There is no better way to destroy employee morale than to spy on them. If only managers would set goals, and let workers achieve them as best they can.

- browningstreet 3y agoTeam goals and dev estimates have the same problems. Managers don’t know how to set goals, and if they set goals, their managers might change or disavow or ignore the previously set goals. I once argued with a toxic founder and he yelled, “You don’t even work 40 hours/week!” So I walked him through it — I arrived before he did, and he saw me leave because he seated himself at the exit. When he had to grant me that I worked plenty of hours, then he yelled, “But you’re not ENGAGED!” And on and on it goes. Same shit, different script.
