[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mentioned this thread to DH who supervises a lot of people (lawyers and support staff), and he shrugged and told me he had an employee who was supposed to be WFH and found out that instead of actually doing any work during working hours, they were driving for Instacart.

Another person with no shame about admitting publicly what a terrible manager they are.

RTO is not a fix for bad managers, but clearly a lot of people seem think it is. [/quote]

Well, he's only been managing that section for several months, and they think the Instacart shenanigans have been going on since the middle of the pandemic and he's the one that figured it out, so I'm not going to blame him. But sure, there's a management issue there. There's also a WFH issue there that RTO would cure -- that particular employee wouldn't be driving for Instacart all day instead of doing their work if they were in the office.

RTO fixes plenty of the productivity issues that wouldn't exist but for WFH. [/quote]

Someone brazen enough to drive for Instacart during the middle of their workday isn’t going to suddenly shape up into some stellar, productive employee because they’re  in the office. This type of person will be online gambling on their phone or dipping out for long lunches. While I was working in an office we had employees caught doing things like studying for a real estate license, selling MLM, and even watching porn.

Making people RTO instead of actually managing people with set expectations around responsiveness and deadlines is lazy and risks losing your good employees who will feel they’re being punished for someone else’s bad actions. [/quote]
