My Dad was a career firefighter, and he spent most of his time sitting in the station watching TV, cooking meals, or sleeping. He was paid for every minute of that time because at the drop of a hat he could be called to a wreck, fire, or medical emergency.

So if I'm WFH and need to be available I can be watching TV or cooking a meal as long as I'm available at the drop of a hat if something comes in. This can be more usefully measured by how quickly I respond or my work output rather than how much my mouse moves.

I'll trade you a coal and 2 brick.

Once had a manager repeatedly tell me I needed to "manage my time better" when I told them I didn't have enough time in the day to get all my tasks done. So I logged my time one day (9-11 worked on task A, 11-1230 worked on task B, etc.) and went to my manager to show them. "This is how long I am spending on each task, can you tell me which ones I am spending too long on and how I can be more efficient?" Manager told me to give them the log and they'll get back to me.

They never did get back to me, but they did end up reassigning my duties to other people who were also not given enough time to complete them.

Were they not getting enough done?

If not then fire them for that. Seems like a better metric that's more related to how well they do their job than "how much has your mouse moved?"

Only other thing I need is a button to click to pause the video once the ad is over because I'm going to the bathroom.

Can't embarrass yourself if you're incapable of feeling shame.

Not in the slightest. It was just his flimsy excuse to sue a competitor/someone he doesn't like, and the released emails show he doesn't believe a word of it. That's why he dropped it.

I always have one finger for Microsoft.

If you're 13, I guess.

I can hate both things, and this move isn't good for either one of them so I consider it an absolute win.

What is with this idiot and the letter 'x'?
