I've had the opposite complaint, after pushing each task to where I was waiting on something, I was leaving the office about 3 PM one day and ran into the VP. He questioned why I was leaving when others had to stay to all hours of the night to get their work done. I said something like "I'm sorry they hired such slow people" and kept waking. This when my mainframe was "going away" and being replaced by 100's of servers :-) I knew I'd get in my "hours" during the maintenance windows. When managers can't determine work effort, they revert to "butt time in seat" to attempt to measure effort.
I'm still here, he is gone.... Len Rugen Metrics and Automation – [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
