[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have always been slackers. It’s easy to do when you are in your 20s with few responsibilities or are otherwise unencumbered.

Think bohemians. Hippies. Etc etc.

Then biology takes over and you want to procreate and then you step it up with work. [/quote]

You could not be more wrong. Most people in their twenties have grown up in an era of surveillance. Keystroke loggers and algorithms to measure productivity and rubrics and metrics. Hard to get away with much. It is you old folks who get away with slacking.

But the problem with all the metrics is if people find out what the specific minimum is that you have to do to not get fired or get promoted or whatever then that becomes the standard. If you must respond to emails within 24 hours then that means you don’t have to reply immediately, etc.[/quote]

Not at professional jobs, snookums. Sorry you got undereducated and work in an Amazon warehouse [/quote]

Some engineers working for DoT have surveillance software on their gov't laptops, logging all kinds of productivity metrics. Of this I am 100% certain.

Are engineers "professional" in your estimation, Hunny Bunny?

This small cohort, DoT engineers, cannot be the only one in America subjected to productivity surveillance. I'm also familiar with a telehealth NP -- employed for a VERY large company you all know -- who is watched by the corporation. Is her 6 years of higher ed "professional" enough for you, Cupcake?[/quote]
