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.
