It shouldn't take someone five minutes to list five bullet points showing what they did for the week. It's called accountability


I agree. Do you feel someone should be removed if they are on leave and unaware the requirement exists?

You’re a boot licker with no self-respect. I set boundaries that my employer respects because they need me more than I need them.

Generally how low level employees feel about those actually taking pride in their output. I have never heard of a management job that doesnt require some out of schedule attention. Youre a worker, not management.

Youre a walking stereotype and will be confined to scale wages the rest of your life.

Youre simply an hourly worker, not a professional.

Where did this “on leave” talking point that so many seem to be parroting come from? Is there any indication this even applies to anyone on leave? It would seem rather nonsensical in that context.

Was this really one of DU’s big marching order gotchas?

Shouldn't their manager know when they are on leave? They should also have an out-of-office auto-reply.

Probably from the same mill that "Muh Accountability" came from.

I always have auto replies when I am out.

It seems some of these folks are still in the 20th century.

This is one of the funniest talking points thrown out by the left to try and defend unproductive workers.

If the employee did not inform a manager or, at minimum, put an OOO reply, then that tells you all you need to know about the "production" of that employee.

Everyone in my department emails our supervisor daily with what we did for the day.


I've never had a management, or upper position that didnt require some attention off schedule or some kind of status report required.

Many of these people are just showing they want status, but they dont want the responsibility that comes with that status.

If you supervise people, you will always have to deal with off hours tasks. Every single time.

continue to devote your life to your job while somehow simultaneously posting on here for 99.9% of every work day.

I’m just a low level employee who doesn’t have time to spend all day at work posting here. Maybe I’ll be as important and busy as you one day.

If the manager didn't know his employee was on leave then we just saved another hirer salary.

The micromanager wasting their time with the request is still around, or at least I presumed that was the point of the exercise.


Project management is not micromanagement.

It is a normal function if management to know the status of what the employees who report to them are supposed to be working on.

Do project managers typically have no clue what any of their employees do all day?

Project management isn't HR sending out company-wide emails like this.

What a drama queen.

You would make a terrible manager. Your limit is worker drone.

Aha! Now we're getting into how are the managers providing value. Good thing they aren't immune.

It could also be zero communication.

"It can be terrible" isn't a great point.
