We are still stuck in a 19-century views of productivity as measured in how many times you pull the lever at your workstation in the factory.
A GF told me bout one of her jobs at a credit card call center where managers stood behind people with stopwatches to time how long they spent taking calls.
At the first call center I ever worked at, any bathroom breaks we had to take outside of our regularly scheduled breaks had to be deducted from those breaks. So if nature called and I had to leave the call floor for five minutes, my next break would only be ten minutes instead of fifteen.
Also look at how insanely Amazon micromanagers their warehouse pickers.
