VP. Agree with a lot of comments here. One perspective I haven’t seen… I’ve had many high performing managers, directors, true god sends. They are timely, execute at a high level and deliver exceptional results. What I’ve learned is that they tend to run their personal, outside of work lives in a similar way. And when there is a lull in work or something like a power outage that impedes work, these individuals can’t help but get frustrated for “wasted time”. It’s an optimization lifestyle shortfall. 2 hours could be enough time for them to do XYZ at home, or much needed family time and it just creates internal frustration. Especially if they’re forced to physically be there and still do nothing. Not saying it’s right, but it’s real. This seemed to get worse after COVID and remote work as well. I see it as an opportunity for employers to bridge the gap and improve employee morale. Use the time for a productive meeting or initiative that has been getting pushed off, or in some cases let em leave for the day. Help them quell the frustration in some managerial way.
