I'm convinced that good percentage of problems faced by workers is due to managers that can't effectively measure performance. I don't know what they are teaching out there, but they are not teaching this. In the end, it costs companies good employees and lots of money.
– One of the reasons why managers dislike WFH is because they need to see people working because they can't measure output or quality of output.
– It's the reason why someone that takes 60 hours to accomplish what others can do in 40 looks like a hero, while the star that can do it in 20 looks like a slacker.
– It's the reason why useless brown-nosers, booklickers, and suckups get retained or promoted in spite of their actual performance.
– It's one of the reasons why office politics determines positions of power instead of merit.
– It's one of the reasons why you have to keep up an image at work
– It's probably the primary reason why a top performer will leave a company besides pay.

This is a widespread problem that affects workers morale and their lives. It should be addressed, especially during this worker shortage. However, it goes unnoticed for the most part.
