It was embarrassing near the end her reign to dial in and zoom into in person meetings that were in person. when she did come, late, leaving early, calling out. In the end she tried to get at 15 hour in person work week. 5 hours a day three days and when she attempted that first 15 minutes were breakfast, then a 30 minute lunch and another 15 minute of coffee bathroom breaks. So really a 4 hour day. She kept fighting for 2021 and 100 percent remote.
More power to her I am sure she will find it at another place. But don’t try to bend a company to your will.
It is beyond creepy to me that you were micromanaging and spying on her time like this. You said yourself she was a good worker and smart and yet you spent time at your office obsessively watching your recording her? I’m betting she didn’t leave because of return to work.
Also, work has changed and unless she was doing data entry, it makes no sense to sit and bang a keyboard for hours on end. If you are a knowledge worker of course you need some time to disconnect your mind from the task… 20 minutes is about the average productivity time Most people can focus on something maybe stretching to 45 but otherwise you really need to get up and walk around and disconnect.
This is completely normal and appropriate behavior and I’m so glad this woman found a better fit.
