Monitoring Employees?

Employees who know they are being monitored are more likely to slack off and do other bad things.

Monitored Employees At Work More Likely To Behave Badly

In the study, the employees were informed that they were being monitored. So, don't let them know.

The report states that discussing monitoring and finding consensus with the employees will reduce the risk of employees behaving badly. 

Working hard and responsibly, and then all of a sudden, being monitored. Definitely results in cognitive dissonance.

Learned that light travels a few millimeters in a billionth of a second today. Could have done the calculations.
