I understand that there is one thing about making sure your employees are doing their job in order to ensure that they're not getting sidetracked. Employers want to make sure that the people that were hired understand the task at hand. You do your 9 to 5, or maybe even later. They are proving that you're a person there to do a good night's work. However, there is one thing from personal experience that a person shouldn't do.
Monitor a person like a cold walking spy.
Two years ago, I was an intern at this nonprofit organization during the summer. This was at the time they were putting together the AIDS Walk of the year I was an intern. I was having fun at first. I was answering the phones and telling people that I was so glad that they were still contributing to the AIDS Walk, and also going to the event on that date. However, there was one thing that bothered me.
The behind-my-back monitoring.
After three weeks of interning there, I felt like security cameras were monitoring me 24/7. But it wasn't cameras. It was people. Sometimes, the heads of the organization who had nothing to do, would just stand outside of their office and monitor us to make sure we were doing our job. I'm sorry, but I find that very invasive. If you're staring at me for over an hour, then I have a problem with that, I don't want to be monitored. Just let me do what I need to do without thinking the FBI is monitoring me.
