I work from home as do most people at this company.
Right now they want the department supervisor to make us screenshare our 2 screens with him so he can just sit there and watch us work for 30 minutes. It's incredibly nerve wrecking and intimidating and juvenile. I've been working at this place for 2 years and I need to waste my time and anxiety being shadowed?
They claim its to find opportunities for efficiency but I know it's just to fucking micromanage us for some reason. I literally just wait and compile work to do for my slot so I have something to do during this period in case they say “we notice you don't have a lot to do so here is way more work for you!” or “we notice you're really slow in these areas so we want you to change how you do things” when really I'm quite comfortable doing exactly what I'm doing. I'm hitting my quotas so I don't see why this is needed other than just to make us feel watched and uncomfortable.
I'm so annoyed and irritable, this is my life for the next foreseeable future and I'm beginning to lose my mind. I get off work and don't find the joy in things I once used to find joy in. I can't cook or clean because I'm way too depressed. If I see dishes in the sink it makes me want to cry knowing I have to do then at some point and it's all thanks to this job. Just leave me alone and let me do my work!
