These people are adults. You can trust them to do their jobs, and if for some reason you don't want to, there are hundreds of metrics you can track to see if people are getting their work done.

Just let people work where they are happiest.

These people are laborers setting the terms and conditions of their labor.

Yeah, just put software on all the machines that tracks mouse clicks or keyboard presses every 20 seconds. Watch hardware devices for mouse jigglers. You can track every time they take a shit.

Plus you get to layoff employees without calling it layoffs. Wall street loves that.

I mean, you could do that. Or you could just track the work they are doing by seeing it show up in whatever business tracking software you're already using to keep track of whatever KPMs you've deemed important.

Happy people stick up for themselves, know their worth, and buy less products to compensate for misery. porky-scared
