If someone doesn’t work at all and you are worried about not noticing I think there is some organizational issue.
What in this scenario makes it easier to know if this person is working when they are in the office?
- earnesti 2y agoI didn't say about not noticing.
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoIt's much harder to get away with avoidant behavior in-person than remotely. I think you are twisting yourself into a knot to avoid admitting this point.
- alkonaut 2y agoI was only considering pure solo desk work like software development now. But anything with visible individual output should follow the same pattern for observability. Obviously in other lines of work it can be different. But if I wanted to not work (say, work 50% on my personal project during office hours) then I’d probably prefer trying that stunt in the office. Because in an office no one questions whether you work (people confuse ass-in-seat with work) while if I’m working from home I know I’m only measured on my output.
