Hmm... as an engineer in industry, if I decide I want to take a walk in the middle of the day, I make sure I don’t have any meetings, then I get up and leave. There are a lot of differences between academia and industry, but this isn’t one of them. I can’t imagine working for a company where I was worried about something like looking out a window, or not appearing to be working.

  They probably have legacy software and turnover problems... those are usually required before getting a "butt-in-seat" mindset.
