How Employers Track Their Workers
as someone who works a blue collar job in an auto repair shop, these articles always make me pause for a moment and ask if i really want to keep learning python in the hopes of pursuing an office job.  The entire environment just sounds like high school all over again.  Why does anyone in an office put up with it??  is this somehow different than time keeping?  do you have a punch card?<p>If you asked my boss where i was, shed probably just point at the garage and wave at the 'authorized personnel only' sign.  She has no reason to care what size wrench im holding or why im beating the living shit out of a siezed idler pitman assembly.  I once drove a car with no doors and a missing windshield out of the lot and down the street, and the only thing she wanted from me was to know if id run to leroys donut and pick up a frozen coffee.<p>Why is this different in an office?  are office jobs just not trustworthy?
