[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does assigned work get done? If yes, then this bullshit about Teams showing away is meaningless. If no, then address the actual behavior - not getting work done. Your fixation on whether Teams or Outlook is showing someone as present or away is indicative of your inability to manage and lead workers. It's a crutch for your inability to measure the actual work being done (ie, deliverables being timely and of expected quality) and an inability to focus on the actual problems. Learn to do your job well or go back to being an individual contributor. [/quote]

This is a little simplistic.  I have a couple of employees who are not getting work done in anything like a reasonable amount of time.  It really does make a difference (at least in the short term) if they are just not working, or if they are working inefficiently.  I am trying to figure out how it is taking them so long to do simple tasks but right now I am wasting a ton of my own time giving them additional support and training.  If the truth is that rhet are sleeping in and gojng to the movies, I’d be pretty pissed.  It does seem like this is an increasing problem — I don’t know if it’s due to remote work or because the younger employees grew up in an educational culture with soft deadlines and lower expectations.

This.

The extra time supervisors invest in providing additional training, support, and oversight is exhausting and irritating.

I shouldn’t need to track everything I’m assigning and gauge progress in real time because you aren’t actually working. But I’m labeled as unreasonable if I set realistic timelines that you can’t meet because…you aren’t actually working.
