My old manager through covid required us to log the projects we worked on in a day in an outlook calendar to report our work hours. We had cellphones and were expected to be available during working hours to the public. Work productivity soared, and never had to be managed. Work was already tracked in the database anyway.
New manager barely does shit. Has little mechanism for oversight. You'd think itd be great, but no. My productivity is now ass because work assignments are all over the place with half of the supervisory tasks delegated to junior staff "leads" with no consistency. Most of my time is now wasted with email chains and update meetings so he can figure out what is going on.
I miss working all day from home.
Management is often the cause, not the cure, to low productivity.
Endless update meetings to educate the middle manager was one of the biggest sign for me. Hour-long meetings everyday, mostly just to entertain a manager that was in over his head. I'd close the meeting every time thinking to myself that nothing of value was said. Years later, I still can't believe over 30% of my time at that place was burnt in useless meetings, not to mention how difficult it is to gain your focus when you're constantly expecting meetings.
