With all of the accusations of posts being bots, I began to think of my over posting and decided to just group together stuff I found that correlate with each other. I've mostly run into stuff about jobs and remote work, so here we go.
First up, managers believe people who work in an office work better because they are being monitored.
This follows up with the second article, people seeking jobs and jobs being offered have shown a decline in remote work. It doesn't really show much because the remote workers want a desk at random times away from their house.
However, the third article shows that the bosses and workers may just be using weaponized incompetence. This is where someone feigns incompetence so others will do their work. Bosses use that to have underlings work harder.
At the same time, AI and automation is taking away jobs quickly. If there are no workers there is no need for a boss. All we need now is a brain computer, which is my last article.
Some people simply don't do their jobs when they're not watched. My girlfriend's company has been working from home since COVID and she always has problems with people blowing deadlines now because they're too busy jerking off and watching anime instead of doing their jobs since nobody is watching them. They tell themselves that they'll just cram at the last minute and when they fuck that part of the plan up "oopsie" deadline blown.
Anyone who thinks differently simply isn't occupying the same world and reality that I am. You can't trust people to behave when there isn't accountability. In fact, it's the opposite: you can trust that people will NOT behave, and over time, their odds of not behaving will increase as they test boundaries and find none.
You’re definitely not wrong but It’s a weird balance though. I’m definitely guilty of being distracted at home, but I’ve also put in a lot of like 12 hour days that I would’ve never let happen in office
