[quote=Anonymous]As a fed manager, some of my staff work well from home. But half do not. They don’t actively make connections at work and instead rely on me as their manager to basically do their secretarial work for them. They don’t learn about the divisions that we work closely with. They think their entire job is just producing the tasks I assign them rather than running a program (which involves multiple tasks). I don’t want the level of babysitting that some of them need. They need for me to micromanage their work product thus that I assign each tiny task. And if I don’t assign a tiny task, they stop working and turn on Netflix. I even put in their performance appraisals “independently completes work and seeks out additional work needed on the project.”

I know lots of managers are putting more people on PIPs than ever before. Some people just cannot independent manage their time at home and it wasn’t a problem in the office. Private sector jobs have team building activities, happy hours together or they fly people to work conferences but fed jobs have none of that.

Some of you reading will think I don’t know how to manage, but no that’s not the case. I am unprepared however to micromanage every minute of my 40-60 years olds days. Hybrid does work but only if we’re all in on the same days[/quote]
