My workplace is really relaxed. Btw, it's an European firm, so the timings are also pretty good. People really don't give a damn about what I'm doing as long as I get my official work done. Hell, my manager has even 'caught' me watching a couple of youtube videos at work! That said, this is not the case with all the other managers here. Some are pretty sensitive about what you do with company time. To throw in a spanner in the discussion above, do you guys think the work environment depends more on the Organization or on the manager?

Definitely the manager.
I've worked with managers who were OK with us working from home as long as work was getting done.
I also worked with another supervisor who once shouted at me whole I was on the Phone with my wife who was calling from the US....He even pushed me and shouted at me in front of my subordinates........
Then there was this another boss who had cameras installed in different rooms where people used to sit.Every one had to officially "Tell" him that they were leaving for the day......you couldn't leave without permission......
Organizational policies are largely driven by senior professionals.In larger companies, each departmental head can determine how his department works, as long as it is within the broad framework of company policies.
Every company in the world has HR policies that basically emphasize equality, respect and equal opportunity.But in practise, its different.
Basically, and this is my belief, If the supervisor thinks that HR and personnel management are crappy management areas which are no good in terms of determining competitive advantage, he will always run his department like his fiefdom

and to add to that, he will build up this culture of servility and paranoia within the department..............................
I can go on and on.............................
My wife is an organizational psychologist.............I get some useful insights on people management at home sometimes
Its interesting how companies are investing money into organizational psychological research now because they think this is what will be the determinant of competitive advantage in the future.
