At several jobs, I'd have to go through the joke of what I was doing every 15 minutes. It's a bad use of statistics because the results are GOING to be flawed. Maybe if their bosses did it convertly, sure. Not that I like that idea either of course. But efficiency experts can ruin a company if done poorly. What was fine for early 20th century factory work doesn't necessarily apply in 21st century careers that are somewhat more complicated. Of course these are baseless assertions on my part, mostly because I still remember being annoyed at having to go through it, my boss's lackluster interest in it... all to be fed up a chain 'til it finally reaches someone who DOES care, and even though they have some measure of correction for lying in the formulas... still.... No matter how many formulas are stacked on a bad idea, it's still a bad idea smile emoticon
