Just curious. I spoke with a neighbor yesterday and he said his employer installed software that tracks mouse clicks. If he doesn't click the mouse at least every four minutes, he'll get a call or email.

Nothing about productivity, just mouse clicks.

The Simpsons resolved this issue decades ago.

We don’t try to monitor lawyers when they’re not in the office, no more than we really do when they’re in it. Get your work done by the time it has to be done, and get it done right. Because if you don’t, I could care less whether you click something on the system every four minutes.

Funny usually people have teams so you can see when someone is online. Dated someone who’s mom had a mouse that spun automatically to keep her laptop active as she did stuff around the house/ran errands.

Your neighbor is going to have to find something for mouse clicks.

I'm sure they monitor my laptop, but for my role, I'm not tied to it.

I get my work done, if I'm not active, no big deal.

I wouldn't do remote work if I had to be constantly worried about being active on my system.

I love remote work. I couldn't imagine having to get up early to commute to an office and deal with all that corporate stuff when I can meet with people remotely to do the same thing. Kudos to people that would rather be in an office, that's not me.

I’ve been asking myself this for 4 years. Granted I’ve lived in apartments and south Florida hotels during most of that time, I have an office job

I'm far less productive when I have to go into the office, and that's strictly actual work stuff. That doesn't even get into all the other productivity benefits.

I'm getting the sense that me being remote is going to change soon, and then it'll be time for a new job. I'm close enough to office where they can reasonably ask me to commute, but with traffic that's 3 hours a day and I'm not doing that

So being on the Boneyard all day counts as work? Phew.
