I was way productive at home, but often times I felt work from home was actually too intense and it was easier to go into work.
But here was always my problem, it is really hard to differentiate between the smart slackers at home and the hard working ones. And more than once, I was burned by really smart people who wanted to use their super powers to slack off.
- tomohawk 2y agoManagers who don't know what their people are up to are the real problem. It's not hard, whether people are working remote or on site to track what they're doing. In my day job, we have lots of slackers who work full time on site. They rarely get anything done, but the remote workers get the scrutiny even though it's obvious they're producing.
- bigfatkitten 2y agoAt my last job we had many slackers who were masters at schmoozing. They were great at being seen around the office, but terrible at actually delivering anything. The promotion process in that place was primarily a popularity contest. It tended to reward that behaviour.
