"We installed badge tracking software.
It cost $380,000.
It tells me exactly when people arrive.
And when they leave.
And how long they spend in each zone.
I check it every morning.
From home.
The data is fascinating.
Average arrival time: 9:47 AM.
Average departure time: 4:12 PM.
I sent a Slack message.
"Core hours are 9 to 6."
Arrival times shifted to 9:02 AM.
Departure times shifted to 6:01 PM.
Productivity did not change.
But the metrics look better."
If you're getting strong PTSD from reading this, I am your brother.
