Missed the second part of your post: > It would be nice if some of the enterprise licensed tools gave some metrics like Outlook, intelliJ/VSCode, and Gitlab, all overlaid on a simple bar chart of activity. It would be pretty easy to see gaps and to piece together a work day. I realize that doesn't account for whiteboard time etc, but that stuff is explainable. 3-4 hours per day of activity + very low contributions is not explainable. Yeah, they don't make it easy. There are dedicated tools for desktop surveillance but that's too invasive for my tastes. I've been doing this job long enough that I've seen things I wish I hadn't. It's hard to measure "activity" in an app, but with Defender we can check if a process is even running in the first place. I don't have any canned queries for that since I can't anticipate the tools every random employee is going to use. You start looking for VSCode, j'accuse them after not finding it, and they counter with "but I use Pycharm/Eclipse/etc." > 3-4 hours per day of activity + very low contributions is not explainable. Every company is different, but that's pretty typical for ours. Half of everybody's day is meetings, and I don't have any way to easily verify whether a meeting existed or whether they attended, so it's not a standard I would personally hold anybody to. Maybe you're running a sweatshop though, in which case expectations are higher ;) We're both approaching this from a position of disadvantage...it's real easy to be made a fool of when it comes to accusations.
