Overview
Anti-Productiv-itis is a growing issue in many organizations and can be difficult to diagnose. AntiProductivitis (part of the larger group of IT-FailurExia disorders) generally occurs when an organization’s IT infrastructure and technical support has steadily degraded to the point that employee productivity is crippled by constant downtime. One benefit of this disorder is that employees seem to enjoy frequent “nap times” as a result of waiting for their computers to respond.
Symptoms
How can you identify if you or a friend suffers from AntiProductivitis? Just look for these warning signs:
- Employees are becoming extremely adept at playing solitaire.
- You hear statements like, "Just use the paper forms, the network is down again."
- Keyboards need frequent replacement due to employees banging their heads in frustration.
- Customers cannot fathom why searching for their account takes longer than painting the Sistine Chapel.
Causes
AntiProductivitis is a progressive disorder that slowly erodes productivity over time. It is generally caused by poor system and network maintenance, lack of anti-virus/anti-spam protection, an unreliable or antiquated IT infrastructure and more.

Cases of AntiProductivitis should be treated with a healthy dose of Sentinel Solutions as often as needed. In addition, proper technology planning with Sentinel Solutions will help to avoid flare-ups in the future.
