Are you guilty of time theft? | OOO Episode 25

🕓 Are you guilty of time theft? | OOO Episode 25

Slacking off at work is one thing. But billing hours when you weren’t working makes you a time thief. And your boss can claim that money back: if they can prove it. One woman in Canada realized this firsthand when she misrepresented 50 hours of work time. Now that landmark court decision has set a precedent for us all. In a world where remote workers demand trust, and companies demand proof of work, which side will win? Can they co-exist?

This episode takes on productivity surveillance and the concept of trust while working from home. Speaking as a remote worker who uses tracking software, Andrew explores the emotional implications of agreeing to - or refusing - productivity monitoring. More people are using productivity trackers than ever before. Time's up, it could be your turn to pay the piper.
