Here at work, our Internet traffic is monitored by counting the number of hits we poll (yes, well all know that this is an inaccurate metric, which illustrates how clueless management is). Weekly reports on everyone's Internet activity are made available to all managers and supervisors. In the past, our previous manager and other supervisor never cared. Their stance was, "If my guys are getting their work done, meeting their deadlines, and stepping up to the plate when extra effort is needed, I don't care what they do otherwise." Thus, in the 1 1/2 years I've been here, that report has never been brought up within our team.

Well, both that manager and supervisor have been terminated, and now we have a different supervisor, who was recently promoted and really has no leadership experience. Out of nowhere, he presented the team with a statistics chart. Three of us had fairly high hit-rates, while the other three had next to nothing. Yet the three of us with the high hit-rates are also the most productive on the team!

My supervisor has made it clear to me, but not to the others, that he does not agree with the philosophy held by his predecessors. But he hasn't made this clear to the team, nor has he dicated what his expectations are, and this is frustrating everyone in my team.


What I'd like to know from everyone is this:
