Yea, I am retired as a long time cubicle dweller. I worked for supervisors whose idea of managing was making sure you clocked in and out on time and didn’t take more than an hour for lunch. They thought that hovering over your cubicle and yelling anytime you chatted with a fellow worker made you a better employee.
By the time I retired from the federal government, hours were flexible, you could work from home, most meetings were done on video conference. I used to travel around the country to attend meetings at remote locations.
If you worked from home, you were expected to still maintain the same output and availability.
If your supervisor is called because people can’t get ahold of you, emails are ignored, meetings are missed, your reports are late or poorly written…..then you are held accountable.
What difference does it make if you work wearing a t shirt and shorts, have the TV on or take a break to walk the dog
