Re:Show HN: I wrote a free book on building remote teams on Thursday January 30, 2020 @02:10AM (#22189514)
Hi!

1 - I am testing candidates. Giving them two paid tasks.

2 - I found time tracking tools to be inhumane, especially for creative work (like designers), but I do understand it can be useful for other job positions.

3 - We have 35+ staff, so while we don't have the most optimized productivity data, we have a good "benchmark" as we can compare employee performance.

4 - We give 2 warnings, with comments and opportunities to grow, then we terminate the employee. So far it hasn't happened yet.
