I don’t understand the monitoring and observing thing. Is the employee doing their work effectively and within the allotted timeframe? If so great, if not have a chat with them. Where’s the problem?
Because they have nothing to fall back on and they are not in control of the situation but are responsible for the situation. Corporate eunchs, responsibility without power. The project is a disaster and everyone knows it, there will be a fallguy when it burns to the ground. So they melt down. Try to control the one thing they can.
I get it, because I have seen my project managers over the years in the same position. Of course they start screaming about coffee breaks, they are looking at unemployment. It’s a shitty situation.

Who knows?
If you aren’t setting objectively measurable goals, then simply holding people accountable to those goals, you’re a shit boss.
And no, I don’t care that it’s “hard” to measure certain types of work. Come up with a way. That’s literally the manager’s job. Make it happen.
