Are you saying manager oversight is what's keeping your co-workers from slacking off all day? Is this a place that produces quality of any kind?

I mean most people when they first start working remotely have trouble adjusting. After all, up until then their home is a place for rest, not for work!

It's probably that people are not accustomed to this flow

For many jobs that's how it works. A lot of work is not about quality, tasks just have to be completed according to schedule.

  • Could you give an example of a task where you cannot make a difference in quality? I have trouble coming up with any.

    • Any task that is a rote, skill-less application of a list of procedures. Success in that case is a binary "did you do the thing", not "how well you did the thing".
