AdvertisementNolan Church is a former Google recruiter who says you could be holding yourself back from a promotion. There could be a misalignment in how an employee thinks they're doing and how management thinks they're doing, most likely due to a lack of feedback. These things surface when it comes time for a promotion, but they're hard to fix when you're unaware it's a problem. Ask your manager what you need to work on to move on to the next level. Budget constraints or business challengesIf a business isn't doing well, promotions are most likely not happening or are occurring at a significantly decreased rate.

My daughter couldn't tie her shoes until she was 9 because she had no interest before that. AdvertisementThis same strategy is why I don't push my third grader to read more even though she's still at a second-grade reading level. Because of her learning disability, I don't push her to read more. When my kids learn something they actually have an interest in, the process is easier, safer, and more enjoyable for all of us. She was shocked at how easy it was to tie her shoes in just a couple of minutes.

☆ Opinion: Bosses are striking back at workers who use mouse jigglers

Especially the last bit: Corporate America is obsessed with ensuring their employees are staying productive when they’re working remotely, away from the gimlet eyes of management. It’s easy to imagine the types of pretend productivity gadgets these employees might have used: “mouse jigglers,” gizmos with a questionable name that make random, small motions of a mouse or touchpad. And Wells Fargo’s crackdown on these gadgets is just the latest attempt by big business to rein in perceived slacking by remote employees. That perceptual gap reflects a vast and growing mutual distrust between workers and employers in America. They’re how workers are battling back against boardroom Big Brother, in a technological arms race that’s only getting wilder as devices get more sophisticated.

☆ Wells Fargo fired a dozen people accused of faking keyboard strokes
▼ + stars: | 2024-06-14 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

See here: Wells Fargo this week disclosed that it had fired more than a dozen employees for “simulation of keyboard activity,” Bloomberg reported, citing filings to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. In other words, they were faking work, perhaps with the kind of mouse jiggler that you can buy online for $20. At any rate, some bankers over at Wells Fargo seem to have gotten caught last month. “And that’s a symptom of a much larger problem.”In Wells Fargo’s case, managerial mistrust would be understandable, given the bank’s history. Since then, Wells has been trying to reform its own internal culture while trying to repair its brand.

Every year, the company surveys its roughly 400 employees about the most important things that keep them happy and engaged at work. And in order to provide that balance, she says company leaders actively support flexibility in their employees' work schedules and break times. "It's completely normal that you can mix your personal life and work life" in how you structure your workday and workweek, Hallila says. On the rare occasion that someone's schedule is negatively impacting their team's work, Hallila says it becomes a conversation with their manager to make adjustments.

☆ 'Overemployed' Workers Secretly Juggle Several Jobs for Big Salaries
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-13 | by ( Aki Ito | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +21 min

Holding down multiple jobs has long been a backbreaking way for low-wage workers to get by. They freeze their employment histories with Equifax and hibernate their LinkedIn profiles, so employers can't see they're holding multiple jobs. Those with multiple jobs also seek out positions they hope will be OE-friendly — light on meetings, as well as on the workload. There's another incentive: Unlike most Americans, those who work multiple jobs don't have to worry about layoffs. There's something radical that happens to a worker's psychology when they have multiple jobs.

Michael Bloomberg is an outspoken critic of remote work. He thinks employees are slacking off and hitting the golf course during the workday, he told CBS.

About three-quarters of respondents said they had fired employees based on findings from their tracking software. In the Resume Builder survey, only 5% of the business leaders who reported using tracking software said their employees were not aware they were being monitored. While Borja said Time Doctor encourages its customers to disclose the use of tracking software to their employees, it can't guarantee that they do so. Refusing to turn on your webcam during a meeting, for instance, could give your employer the right to fire you if you live in the US, legal experts previously told Insider. Some workers at employee-tracking software companies have expressed privacy concerns.

Resistors are typically senior-level employees and high performers, workers who aren’t worried that defying return-to-office rules will yield professional consequences. Those are the employees who when pushed to return to the office will quit — either on the spot or in the months after R.T.O. It’s not about remote workers detaching from work, but instead about people resisting when pushed toward working conditions they don’t like. Workers of color, who can feel marginalized within corporate work structures, tend to bristle at return-to-office mandates, Tsipursky said.
