I am aware of software program, where it clicks your mouse randomly like a real person would.
This shouldn’t be too hard. Employers should measure outcomes and leave the employees figure out how to ensure acceptable outcomes on their own time. If I am prepared to work once a week for 36 hours straight, that’s how I choose to organize my time.
The current Federal Government has these “workers” in spades- and they are needing to be ordered back into an office where they can be physically seen to be working— not artificially intelligence confirmed but ACTUAL intelligence confirmed.
Under the coming house cleaning- they will be removed on the basis of this “fake work”.... to our ever thankful populace paying billions for compu-crapola as policy. Devoid of humanity and reason.
What the heck is "quiet cutting"?? Is that like sneaking out a silent fart in your workspace?
I am very thankful that I started working for myself at 26 and never looked back. My wife had some decent bosses and some bad ones. I let her retire at 53, she had put up with enough.
Boy is that the truth.
I’ll say though, it don’t matter if they are at work under observation or not. And I think it is worse now than it has ever been. It’s always been a joke, and true to a degree. Now the degree is absurd.
Not sure there will be a house-cleaning though.
I am convinced this is entirely by design.
Huh. Move that guy’s office away from the AC intake.
I became self employed doing books for small businesses 44 years ago.
I cannot imagine faking any of that.
The practice of “quiet cutting” is an old practice with a new name. It involves employers reassigning workers to new roles in hopes they will eventually quit so the company saves the cost of severance.
You are right. Some people can get 40 hours done in 30. And others take 50 to do the same thing. If you want to get ahead you know everything about a subject before anyone else. And you become important to someone. Doing a good job, means you will be let go as soon as the job is not needed anymore.
Lives of quiet desperation, then retirement, a secure, safe retirement of people who lived safe, secure lives, they serve an important part of life and of a people’s survival but it doesn’t suit us all.
Ninety percent of those slackers are democrats (especially if they are government employees). They are the worst of the worst.
Boy is that the truth.
We called them drones when I was a supervisor.
The “can’t be fired” aspect of the old Civil Service carryover policies-— are no more. This is the same way in private corporations when profitability is threatened (in this case taxes are not enough to fund government, ever expanding by political fiat)- the first thing to improve the bottom line is removal of labor costs. Human resources/personnel are always under the direction of corporate finance.
So, removal/elimination of 100s of thousands of 100k a year fedgov employees would reset the trillions in unfunded liablities immediately. They would have to find other work- which their current work was hampering private sector in the first place. This is something a political leader is incapable of doing vs. doling out .... gibs me dats and jobs to distribute the “dats”. So bottom line managers will have to do the job— hopefully with pleasure.
What I discovered as a manager was that if the company mandated overtime, the same amount of work got done but cost the amount of the overtime. Knowing they’re going to be there the workers just slowed down. There is no gain from working overtime.
Also, when I discovered workers spending absurd hours I’d investigate and, in every case I can remember, the worker had a problem at home. I told them, I don’t want you here after 40 hours. If there’s really that much work, then it’s my job to increase the staff.
Change to “piece work” style payments.
I have made a business off lazy employees. What it shows is that 75% or more employees are liabilities and completely useless to companies.
Has anyone ever tried Quiet Quitting on a production line?
I believe industrial management calls that Immediate Termination.
How can anyone Quiet Quit unless their job has no quantifiable production goals?
My own sense of integrity kept me from doing any of that stuff (I was a Marine, recently returned from Vietnam) and I was grateful for my $17/hour job, but it went on and on around me. Needless to say, we were all union members (closed shop) but the management never caught on and the union didn't care a whit. Our L-1011 airliners were more expensive than the DC-10.
Now Lockheed-Martin doesn't make airliners anymore. No suprises.
I only know one way to work. I rock out non-stop, maximum effort.
Building to building, office to office, meeting room to lab, lab to lab, shop to shop, pick up a wrench, test tube, cable motor controller, PLC, machine tools, bag of blood, centrifuge it, sample it, fix a machine, develop a new one.
End of the day, I cannot remember what I did. I could only do that effectively for about 6 hours per day. Plus an hour+ of commuting.
Mid 50’s I am out..
