For all the bosses out there, forcing your employees to work as fast as they can will not get you anywhere in the long run. If you decide it should reasonably take an employee X amount of time to complete a task, and they give it to you in that amount of time, that should be considered a win. And that's exactly how this company used to run. Even if an employee could complete a task in ¾ of the time allotted, they were still compensated for the time requested. But not anymore. Now, even if an employee gets a project done early, they are only paid for the length of time it took them to complete it. So now the employees are getting creative. Even if they are done a bit early, they will run the clock until they can be fully compensated for the time they were quoted. The employee below has been getting away with this tactic for six years now, even using her free time to catch up on her personal to-do list or scroll on social media.
