The 9 Hrs mandatory login period rant.

So I was working wfh since past year and recently shifted to a project after a promotion, it’s a nice project and something I was looking forward to work with, but now my reporting manager says that you have to clock atleast 8 hours daily at this tracking software ( Nippon Buddy ). And I’ve to report to office 12 days a month, that’s okay but this 8 hours capture time is kinda nuts. Do you guys have these kinda policy as well or is it just at service based companies ?

This time log is worst thing happened with devs. Who has this much time to log time onto some portal. The work we are doing is less for management.

Yes bro. They have portal where we have to mark attendance daily. If we don't mark salary will cut for that month.

Glad that's not the case with TCS, we just need to mark the attendance that's all.

Wait until you’ll be scrutinised for your login and logout timings. The HR has already highlighted it in one of the calls. They want mass resignation to happen and they’ll soon start imposing the mandatory 9 hours rule

Ah okay. I left Infy back in 2018. At the time they had a strict policy of average 9.15 hours in time (based on card swipes at building entrance) After that I’ve worked for 3 different companies and no one even bothered with the timings.

I think there should be some software which does the mouse activity automatically. Or maybe tried running YouTube video on loop that'd keep the laptop on?

What is wrong in working 8 hour? Please explain. We get paid to work for 9 hour.

I’m ready to work 12 hours, but it should be core work.
For example I had work on Friday which took me 3 hours, I had to stay logged in for 8 hours moving my mouse left and right to stay active.
But that’s okay, I can manage that.

The reason for this micromanagent is the lack of vision with the leadership. They are now unable to find breakthrough ideas/projects. When nothing seem to work, the usual technique is to resort to "increasing efficiency of resources". Aka human time management. If this started in the last 3 months, its a good to sign to short IT stocks.

My friend's company has a policy of completing 180 hours a month. If you don't, they deduct salaries. No wfh. Have to mark attendance using your fingerprint.
