[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think anything you listed is totally unreasonable, but some of it is verging on it.  I get a kick out of managers who think it's their job to watch Skype all day and monitor how long a person is listed as "away."  A manager should have far more important things to do with their day than watching for screen icons going from green to yellow.  Plus, ever heard of printing documents and reading them?  My Skype says I'm away all the time because I'm sitting at my desk reading hard-copies.  [/quote]

Yes- I don't understand the Skype thing. Do they want you to be moving your mouse to make look like you're on your computer when you're reading or on a call? That's ridiculous. I pace around while I'm on the phone because I get distracted by my computer. [b]Do they call you out when you go idle?[/b][/quote]

Actually, yes! I typically get to the office by 8 and one morning I got coffee upstairs and ran into a co worker at the cafe. This turned into a 30 minute conversation (about work) and I got back to my desk around 8:45. I heard later that day that my client told my boss that I was 'unavailable' as I'd been idle for almost an hour. I've now started brining my laptop with me so that I can appear 'available' even if I'm not at my desk. It's ridiculous![/quote]
