”If I have to keep track of your hours, I’ve got the wrong person”. A previous CEO told me that shortly after I went to work for his company. Was it some kind of devious trick? Part of a hazing? A dedication test?

For a while I looked over my back to see if “they” were watching me, somehow secretly keeping track. Technically, since I was salaried it didn’t matter.

Turns out he was telling the truth and he was right.
