    The company should be able to determine that your productivity isn’t good enough by the work you produce. Not micromanaging the keystrokes per minute.

    If your work is really so unimportant that slacking off for 4+ hours a day isn’t noticed, they should be making you redundant. Not forcing spyware on every innocent employee

      Yeah I don’t get why people are acting like your output can’t be tracked without spying on you. I logged exactly 8h to my company’s time tracking platform last month (cause I keep forgetting we have a new platform for that) and I got no shit for it. Because my output is clearly visible in terms of all the PRs merged.

      Or moving to a four day week. I feel most jobs could be condensed into a 4 day work week with no loss of productivity. But no they want you in 5 days “because that’s how it’s always been done” so then you end up having to kill time.
