Managers who don't know how to manage are confused by being asked to manage.

Fucking idiot assholes. Even my most type-a micromanager boss in decades managed to keep tabs on me remotely.

Sure there are spyware tools that monitor everything you do on the computer. But it sure seems like a better use of time and money to just hire good people, trust them, and evaluate the quality and timeliness of work.

These idiot companies should spend some time training managers how to do their goddamn jobs effectively.

They don’t know much about spyware then

I spent about a year fully remote, and have been hybrid since the pandemic. I am happy!

I'm pretty sure nearly everyone who was WFH in my area had to return to the office because my morning commute went from 25-30m to 35-40m. Doesn't sound like much but the traffic has gotten so busy the long way is faster most mornings.

Breaking: Bosses' number 1 problem with remote work is actually the best part

[–] Endorkend@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Translated: Bosses don't know how to pretend to add any actual value to the workflow of their employees when they aren't constantly looming over them.

More like how do they justify their jobs. Supervisors can't afford for employees to be judged on results. They need to have a system where they can look over shoulders else what good are the supervisors.

I’m just glad that so far my job has held at 2 days in office. It still sucks and I’m way less productive in office than I was when I was WFH full time, but it could be worse.

I think this issue does reflect on bad management. They don’t know how to monitor their team’s output, justify their existence or curb bad employees without being in the same room. That’s on them, not WFH.

I work so much more efficiently at home. I'm mostly remote. Come in a couple days a month. The days I go in are trying to zone out all the office distractions. Also I have to use a hotel docking station setup that I will always have an problem with at least something about it. A sizeable portion of my day is just getting setup and into a work state. I work in software development with cloud platforms. Going into the office I know I'm gonna get fuck all done. Also the Internet is way worse on site.

However there is a few people on my team that do fuck all everyday. I keep hearing rumors that they are gonna make us come back. It's frustrating because you know the few ones that are taking advantage are gonna be an easy excuse for management to call us in.

Hey Boss -

Ever since TV remote was invented, you don't even walk up to the TV to change the channel - why the fuck you need to call us back to the office and breath over our necks? Unless you are a pervert (a lot of you indeed are) - you don't need to stare at our faces (or our asses) to assess our work, learn to embrace the zoom age !

You reportee (who is still hanging around because the pay is okay, I can work from home, and don't have to bear your shitface every morning)

If the work gets done, then congrats there are no problems
