Tracking time, or trust

Some employers want screenshots and timers. My view: pay for results and use the shared work log. A person you have to watch every minute is the wrong person; a person you can trust does not need watching. If you pay by the hour, the work log, checked every Friday and approved by you, is enough.

If you do use a tracker, say so in the job post and in your first email, so nobody feels spied on.

Do this today: decide results or hours, and write it into your first email.
