When someone manages a work-from-home employee by checking that their status in a chat application like Slack, Microsoft Teams, etc., hasn't shifted from a green dot signifying "Present/Available" to an orange, yellow, or red dot signifying "Away", rather than by measuring things like quality and quantity of work output, whether deliverables are met in a timely fashion, customer satisfaction, etc.
With the explosion in employees working from home during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020+, many managers who had been accustomed to prowling cube farms and looking over their employees' shoulders to make sure they were working, resorted to this technique.

"My manager totally does management by green dot. I got yelled at for being 'Away' on Slack yesterday morning because I had to spend half an hour on the phone with my kid's school. I'm going to have to get one of those mouse jigglers."

Get the Green mug.In this context, "green" refers to the color of a neighbor's grass, embodying the idiom "the grass is always at neighbor's". It symbolizes the perception that others have better circumstances or possessions, often leading to feelings of envy or dissatisfaction with one’s own situation.
Whenever I see my neighbor's lush green lawn, I can't help but feel that green envy creeping in, reminding me of the saying about the neighbors' grass.
