Management By Green Dot

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."

Managering

The act of commanding others to do tasks while you yourself never contribute no matter how easy or hard the task is.

People that are managering also tend to waste more time getting other people to do work than just doing it themselves.

While the term usually applies to actual managers of jobs (hence the name), it can apply to anyone outside the workplace.

Example 1

Employee: You called me over here sir?

Manager: I need you to clean up this spill

Employee: But you are already holding a mop and paper towels. You could have done this yourself much quicker than the time it took me to respond to you. Instead of managering why don't you do some work yourself because I don't see why the company needs someone like you.

Example 2

Mom: Go vacuum the floors they have been filthy all day. It's like you don't ever help around the house.

Child: Mom, I just got home from school, why could you not do it?

Mom: Unlike you I am busy almost all day doing chores and working 8 hour shifts.

Child: Mom, you have been on this couch watching Sex and the City since I left for school and you are still watching it.

Mom: ...

Child: Instead of managering could you help out while I'm busy?
