Efficient workers get more work if you're in the office. I work from home, and that allows me to work efficiently until my work is done, set up scheduled emails to go out at the time I would've otherwise been done, then do what I want until then.

It's a double edged sword. I was very efficient, and did get more work, which got me noticed and eventually promoted out of a doing position into a leading position

It's a nice change, the work is light, the people side of the work is easy. I have higher pay and much more free time

I see your work doesn't have invasive programs that check idle mouse and idle keyboard behaviors.

this is an old one but i can't help thinking, what if they installed it without my knowledge, after all, my work laptop was given to me already pre prepared by our IT department.

You you're writing up more time that it actually took you. That is fraud.

I'm not writing up anything. I clock in when my shift starts, I complete the work designated for me for that shift, send it out by the time it needs to be sent out, and clock out at the end of my shift.

Iโ€™m not writing up anything. I clock in

... same fucking thing, Einstein.

The non-fraudulant thing would be to clock out when you're done.

Nope. They pay me for my availability, not how much of it they utilize.

If that is clearly state in your contract that way, sure.
