Good one, actually most of my employees feel the same way.

You might have a bad case of a micromanager there, but here‘s my definition:

> Management by walking around emphasizes the importance of interpersonal contact, open appreciation, and recognition. It is one of the most important ways to build civility and performance in the workplace.

Your definition of success might be technically right, but doesn‘t resonate with me.

What good does it do if some code works but the employees behind that aren‘t happy, don‘t feel valued and we can‘t celebrate success together?

Fair enough then, sounds like your team would be happy with a balance of WFH/Office.

I thankfully no longer have to deal with micromanaging, but have in the past (hence the itchy neck feeling).

I should have specified happiness in there somewhere because I agree that the efficiency should come with happy team members.

In my case if theres something I need to make me happier as a team member I'll just ask, but I guess that isn't the case for everyone.
