Overbearing Manager's Time-Tracking Initiative Turns Sour as Employees Embrace it Wholeheartedly

In a small startup company, the boss decided to implement strict time-tracking rules for his employees, believing that their lack of productivity was due to laziness. However, the employees recognized the unfairness of the situation and decided to turn the tables on him by following his rules to the extreme. They refused to engage in work-related conversations outside of designated work hours, ignored extraneous questions, and deliberately slowed down their work pace. The boss quickly realized his mistake and had no choice but to trust his employees and revert back to their usual working dynamic. The lesson learned was clear: trust in your employees is key to a successful workplace.
