There's this bit in Snow Crash where Federal employees get a memo with an expected reading time, knowing the manager will review their reading times and update their personnel files (and opinions) based on those values, so the workers would skim the memo but mind their reading time.

Micromanagement is how you make your workplace toxic, even if your managers like the power.
