[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone else had this experience?

I spend at most, 2-3 hours per day working and the rest of the time listening to podcasts, making lists, planning travel for the year ahead, texting friends, reading the news, etc.

My productivity is down 90%. I’m slow walking EVERYTHING.

I work 9-5, take a 75 min lunch, and at least another 1-2 walks for 20-30 minutes each.

Plus I randomly chit chat with my one work friend at least 5 times a day.

I’m surprised nothing has happened. Nothing.

I’m starting to realize that my management has no idea what I do and they also don’t care. So long as my butt is in the seat, they are happy.

I guess I just thought that by working hard and producing a lot of deliverables every day, that I was a good employee. I was wrong.

Is anyone else having the same experience?[/quote]

Your activity is not a sign that employers are doing something wrong, it is a sign that you lack integrity. If you feel to work only if your feet are put to the fire, well that is on you--you are cheating your employer. You should be held accountable by your conscience. [/quote]

Op here. Well, there was zero holding of my feet to the fire when I WFH for almost 4 years and I crushed it for them then and was a top performer. [b]If they are going to arbitrarily decide that I need to zoom people all over the world from their designated location, then I’m going to reclaim some of the time lost to commuting and getting ready by doing things for myself at work.

That's not how work works.  You don't get credit for the commute and combing your hair and putting on pants.  Grow up[/quote]

Op here. I’m just as surprised as you are! Apparently this IS how my work works.[/quote]

Lots of things in the workplace are left unsaid. People in charge find it awkward to tell employees very obvious things, they do not want to embarrass the employee or they think gosh the person should know this obvious thing already, they see just choosing to flout it. Your bosses know you are not working hard. They will just begin to work around you and marginalize you.[/quote]
