It shows how batshit crazy most managers are that you think the first sentence needs explained.

You're so wrong that it's hard to explain it without being insulting.
You don't improve efficiency by making sure that employees are not slacking. You improve efficiency by retaining your best employees and figuring out what motivates people.
I've had a ton of jobs where me being half-assed and not really trying was still getting the work done of literally any other two people. Spoiler: if I'm putting out 75 with you today and the next guy is putting out 40 I'm not going to go up to 80 when you bitch at me because I got on my phone. I'm going to go sure boss I'll get right on it and then you're going to be lucky to get more than 60 out of me for the next week. And if I hear another damn word about it then you might get your 75 back but I'm just going to go get another job and you're going to be stuck with the guy doing 40.
It's kind of a dumb question. What really matters is if anybody's actually making any money with the increase in costs. It doesn't matter if you're revenue doubles if you're expenses triple.
