This is for the people who’s entire job involves building spreadsheets full of numbers to show to each other; it’s the end of academia’s influence on corporate culture. It’s part of a machine who’s sole purpose is to make noise for its own amusement.
I once took a remote job in which my first task was to write an electron app that would take camera photos every minute and upload them to an S3 bucket. It would also log the time when it was started and when it was closed. There was also talk about using basic facial recognition to establish when a human was in the photo or not. This would then be used to outline your daily start and stop time, and determine when you leave/return to the PC.
I always get this funny email from Microsoft analytics at the end of the week. In a week where I have at least 10 hours of meetings, it reported that 86% of my time was "focus time." Gee Microsoft analytics thanks! Note that the meetings dont include firefighting, taps on shoulder, answering questions in direct message. All "focus time" apparently.
As a senior technical leader, I don't write much code each week. I'd be extremely surprised if these systems could differentiate my impact versus others at the same level.
