This WFH situation is worse than WFO!
The structure and schedule are a mess. My manager just informed us that if we're not directly engaging with clients, we have to be logged into a Teams meeting and have our cameras on so the President can drop in at any time and check if we're working. I'd much rather be in the office than deal with a 9 hour Teams call just so they can monitor us. It's ridiculous.

Ugh, I feel you...This whole 'monitoring' mentality is toxic. It’s not about the quality of work, but rather just making sure you’re physically present in a meeting for hours. Personally, I’m all for remote work, but this constant surveillance is making it worse. W... see more

Honestly, this is one of the reasons I’m starting to hate WFH. The idea of being constantly monitored is not only demotivating, it feels like they don’t trust us to get our work done. The fact that your President can just drop in at any time makes it feel like we'r... see more

It’s not about having your camera on for 9 hours, it’s about delivering results and trusting your employees. This constant micromanaging doesn’t breed productivity...it breeds frustration. If you were in the office, you'd have more autonomy. It’s time to push back ... see more

The whole point of working from home is to have a bit more flexibility, not to be shackled to a Teams meeting for hours. If anything, it sounds like they’re not giving you the freedom to actually focus on your work. It’s like they’re making the office worse, but wi... see more

The idea that someone could randomly pop into your call or check in at any time makes you feel like you’re on high alert all day. Being constantly 'on' isn’t sustainable, and it’s a productivity killer. I’m all for staying connected and having meetings, but this co... see more

Having to sit through a 9 hour Teams call with cameras on sounds absolutely draining. I totally understand your frustration. WFH should be about focusing on your work in a comfortable environment, not about pretending to be 'active' by sitting in a video call all d... see more

I trained my manager and now she no longer needs me.
I’ve been working at a small startup for the past 3 years, with just 3 other employees and my boss. I sit right in front of her, and over time, we became close, almost like siblings. I automated a lot of my tasks, so my ... read more

Sure, you have people around, flatmates, coworkers, friends....and family is just a call away. But still, it can get incredibly quiet, and sometimes the noise i... read more
