Health officials say to walk around a little and often. Opticians say to look out of the window at least every 20 minutes. Concentration is better if you take a 5 minutes break every hour.
We are being told all these things to help our health and productivity and yet management want us nose to the grindstone every minute of the day.
We have just been moved over to Teams from Zoom as it has a better ability to report inactivity.
I could be designing on a piece of paper, making a cup of Tea or many other 'normal' work activities, and Teams reckons I am away from the desk and not working. This is stress I don't need.
(My manager is a reasonable guy and I trust he will resist upper management using 'attendance' at review time - I say trust as he is off on long term illness at the moment!)
The trust in workers is being diminished and I feel that it is the finance departments pushing it.
