[quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the VP of operations at a very large company I don’t understand the problem either. Since I’m the decider of all things operations, long before Covid I put in software and metrics that measure productivity, work load and utilization. Since I can actually see productivity, I couldn’t give a single Fu&k where you get your work done.  Everyone can also see their own personal metrics and they can absolutely avoid having their manager snooping in their business if they just keep their numbers within the acceptable range. Numbers are averaged over the untie month so it you need to screw around that’s fine, just work harder the next few days or the days leading up to screwing around and your numbers will remain good. They can also earn bonuses by figuring out ways to increase their productivity over the acceptable range.[/quote]

Except you don’t know who is doing work. [/quote]

Please do explain. Metrics are on individuals that then roll up to company metrics.  If I wanted to (which I never do because it’s really intrusive) I could look at anyone current screen and could back trace exactly what they did all day today. I could see their gmail, their Facebook , and every single word typed on DCUM along with their actual work. I can see who is visiting what websites and for how long. However I don’t need to  because I can see each individuals productivity. [/quote]

You are so funny Fred Flintstone. When I was working my multiple jobs I had three laptops open, a few monitors, my iPhone out, headphones plugged into various laptops at all time. I knew how to disable Zscaler etc and I had contractor help I hire freelancer websites. I was online 14 -16 hours a day. One job I disabled auto log out and was on line 24/7 six months. I also slowly parcel out data.

I am at one job now but for instance doing RFP at this place on major IT implementation involving RFP 3 vendors. I actually have contracts and RFPs and pricing all three vendors shared under NDA already from job just left.  Ever piece of documentation on roll out like 4,000 hours work. But I will share bits and pieces.

I don’t really think bosses care. JP Morgan Chase, NASDAQ, Goldman, Fannie Mae etc all got variations of work I did. Even when I do good work on my own it reappears. A good deck always comes back.
