So, my boss took on like 140 new people to his group. This group used to be 215 people before my boss took them on. The people that I timed in Florida with a stopwatch are also a part of this group. We have stuff that tracks what they do, but for the most part, they are under managed, some of them have no direct supervisor within 100 miles of them and we're not really sure how hard they are working.

Anyway, earlier this week my boss & I decided to put together a sheet that these people will have open while they are working on a daily bases and actually log what they are doing throughout the day. Sort of like a diary, with time entries, etc. Really, we're not sure how much value this will have but psychologically, it should have a big impact (think: "oh no, they're watching us now!") So, along with this sheet, I distributed a communication letting the supervisors of these people what was up and to have them share the communication to said 140 people. This went out yesterday. Here are some actual (unedited specifically to detail how retarded some of them are) e-mails I have been forwarded by some of these 140 people�

"We have S/O productivity reports from NOAS, LAMS & TT reports from CIRAS and ACD reports from Centergy that track everything we do . Why will we now be wasting time logging information that already done systematically, when we could be doing actual work. I realize the management team has devised this spreadsheet, but apparently they don't know there are reports that track this."

"I thought all the tracking was done BEFORE RELEASING WORKING PEOPLE that was getting the job done? Now we need to spend unavaible time keeping track that is suppose to be done with THESE GREAT COMPUTERS. Something needs to give and take some stress off the rest of THE WORKING PEOPLE.
My opinion,"

"If the people higher up, would sit down with fac. Tech. they would have a REAL idea of what we do."

"I agree with all that has been said in this string of e-mails. It is very discouraging to find out that you are about to have to waist valuable time doing needless tracking. It is becoming increasinly hard enough to get the days work out as it is.
This is insulting"

Oh my- people hate me. Ha!
