And Cheeks wins again. Fuck man.

Don't think that people only want their privacy respected if they have something to hide. Give people a little breathing room and autonomy, and they will care more about getting the job done because they know someone is trusting them, counting on them to deliver. If they don't take that independence as a reason to care and be responsible, then you don't want them working there under any other circumstances anyway. For any decent person, trust is a more effective burden to make them fear letting you down than being a hardass can ever be.

Create a police state in the office and people will occupy themselves thinking of ways to skirt the rules out of resentment.

That's when it's time to drop the hammer.

I am in a position where people pay money to go to a place where I am the leader. I don't try to force anything.

That's pretty much true anywhere.

What is pretty much true anywhere?

That if they are paying you to lead them, then you have it made.

Well yes and no. What do I do for someone who could be good at this but is acting like a pussy? That's a hypothetical question. I deal with this kind of stuff just fine. But there are regular occurrences that challenge.

At the end of the day they compensate you to educate them, enough said.
