I’m working for a large technology company that has offices all across the world, but they’re extremely unorganized.
My position is a bit odd in that it’s a start up / new integration in the US, and there are only 5 of us in the group.
I love that it’s a unique job, but I constantly find myself with absolutely nothing to do.
And on top of it, my boss is a micromanager who re-does all of my work anyway, and immediately shoots down any of my thoughts / ideas because she wants total control of the trajectory.
I mean, she literally told me and my co-workers in a meeting that “you’re not allowed to create anything without it being approved by me first”.
So, yeah. I don’t LOVE the job and I’m in a limbo between trying to “ride it out” & whatever that means, and finding a new job.
For the time being, we’re able to WFH 2 days a week, and I typically create a teams meeting calendar invite for myself only, join it, then change my status from “In a call” to “available” and I’m good to go for the day.
Can anyone tell that I do that? And how closely do you think IT can monitor my productivity in terms of activity online? What do they look for specifically ? & I welcome any other advice as well!
TIA 🙂
