Researchers developed a sensing system to constantly track the performance of workers

Researchers have come up with a mobile-sensing system that can track and rate the performance of workers by combining a smartphone, fitness bracelets and a custom app.
I take back what I said elsewhere about the benefits of technology in the workplace

The system was able to tell the difference between high performers and low performers with 80% accuracy.
Are people who do their jobs at 80% accuracy remotely qualified to tell anyone else how to do theirs? As this is a KSS forum, I will not venture an opinion on these people and simply leave it your imagination and the more colourful end of your vocabulary to fill in the blanks ...

A lot of people I work with don't even get that 80%, yet they are more than willing to tell everyone what to do :sigh: The most extreme case being a (now ex-)coworker who told me my JavaScript was way off and I had to rewrite it (because I used a module pattern rather than putting everything in the global scope). That same coworker told me he couldn't even read my C# code because the syntax was foreign to him (I used a Func<something> with a lambda expression...) This guy had such a big mouth that the entire project was suffering from his incompetence and he brought the whole team down to his level. The problem is that this guy worked hard (producing negative results), so this new system would probably give him a high rating. This isn't my only example either. Basically, I think the harder people shout what you should do and how you should do it, the less qualified they are. If they knew how to do their job they wouldn't be so concerned about the work of others...

There are certain types who always do quite well in IT without ever doing anything useful. The Ever-Present: He turns in at 7 and leaves late at night. During his extended shift he largely drinks coffee and talks about football but the PHB loves him because he's always first in and last out. Little does the PHB realise that he only does this because he's trapped in the marriage from Hell and really doesn't want to be at home. The Voice: Like Sander's mate, he sounds like knows everything and has all the jargon to go with it. Everything that anybody else does is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG and he won't rest until everyone is made aware of this. The Cheerleader: He may not be able to code his way out of a wet paper bag but he will passionately get behind the PHB's buzzword of the week. If the PHB is getting into DevOps, he's more than happy to champion DevOps even though he has no more idea than the rest of the planet what DevOps actually means.

I've known multiple voices and at least one ever-present :laugh: I don't think I've met a cheerleader before, mostly because the people I worked with were either afraid of change or knew their job well enough to either embrace it or reject it with good arguments.

Ah yes, I remember that one - a handy reminder that we are all PITAs to work with!

:thumbsup::thumbsup:
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

That hardly qualifies as research; one can also guess the unmentioned cost of more people with a burnout.

That's it, Brothers! I'm calling a union meeting! This new AI will put time-and-motion men out of work within six months! We can't be having that, Brothers! They should be put out of work immediately right this minute!
