  • No. That is not my point. I said that the most important thing is making the boss think you are productive/busy, regardless of that actually being the case. A boss can’t and/or does not use objective data to assess productivity. At least I have never seen that anywhere.

    That does not mean that you do nothing. It just means that you can appear far more productive/busy/important/… when that is far from the truth.












  • What kind of work do you do that it is so easy to see what and how much someone actually does?

    For me, a new job could be a few hours or several days and I only truly know that when it is done and no further complications can pop up. For someone else doing the same thing, it could be the opposite (easy/fast vs slow/hard). Or it all hinges on one singular idea to solve some issue, so it could literally be a month without real progress and then it is solved within an hour.
