It’s been some time since I started my career in Information Technology (IT) and most of my jobs have been for smaller companies totaling 50 employees and only about 10 workstations, maximum. My most current employer is still a small company but it wants to feel grownup, for the 100 people, 2 servers and 15 terminals, I really wouldn’t say it’s a conglomerate of any sort but they sure like to feel big. They go to extreme lengths to complicate things, for example they want me to fill out a daily activity report for the HR department. So that they can keep perfect track of what one of eight departments or three companies I’m doing work for.

Corporate America would have you believe that this is the right way of doing things, it might be, for mega giants like Microsoft or IBM but this place is basically a farm, they sell live beef and chicken products to local butchers and grocery stores. Do they really need half my day to be spent doing busy work so that they know I’m busy?

iRobonix states that a true professional is fully capable of managing him/her self, without a camera in his face or a monkey on his back. Close supervision only foments mistrust, bitterness and was the main factor in the decline in global productivity, until a handful of European countries changed their way of looking at people. They no longer looked at them as a resources to be exploited and started looking at them more like people to be apprecaited.
