Apparently the first day of 8 hours I worked 63% - I admit I was in a lot of meetings.

The sad thing is almost every piece of in-house software I've written has some sort of KPI reporting functionality that managers use to assess their staff with.

Originally posted by billybiro View PostWhilst I'd normally be all for trying to reason things out with a client before just walking out on them, in cases like this, where the client has really gone this far in intruding, big-bother style, into every waking minute of their employee's (and, even worse, contractor's) time, they're also far beyond trying to reason with. By all means, tell them why you're walking out when you do so, but don't expect them to understand or care.
