If they don't trust you, they don't respect you. Period.

Any manager who has the time to observe their employees this intensively needs to have their own productivity called into question.

What I learned from this video:
-cover your webcam when not in use
-unplug/ disable your mic when not in use
-have a tablet/ second laptop nearby for personal use, or just use your phone
-keep moving that mouse!

I wonder if the bosses and mid managers will be sharing their productivity with the employees as well, you know just for the sake of fairness and transparency.

That's exactly why I quit FedEx. I thought the truck cameras only recorded so they could access it in case of an incident, but no. Two months went by, and my boss started accidentally saying stuff he would only know if he was watching me on camera.

As a European I'm happy that a company using such a software would get sued/fined out of existence over here.

[tylersmith]

Can you imagine if your company's plan for protecting IP & security was to give the keys to the kingdom to a shady spyware company that can monitor literally everything you own?

I'd trust my worst employee more than I'd trust any of the companies that build these shady products.

I love how this software is premised on the idea that employees might be untrustworthy, without its creators acknowledging that the same applies to employers using this software.

[tekmoney]

As an I.T manager myself I've been avoiding tracking software like this since its a plague to the overall business. These topics come up and the answer is no Thank God! Trust issues man.... Trust Time sheets and thats it. Joshua I'm with you %1000

Employers have been spying on employees for decades. At my first development job back in the late 90s, my boss called me into the office one day to ask me why I was emailing another company about a new job. I told him "well... he's offering me more money. Why wouldn't I email him about that?" Ended up getting a raise out of him spying on me. Still sucks to do this though.

[KaeYoss]

This isn't about trust, it's about control.

[morganmorris]

What doesn't seem to be talked about is the productivity lost by the BOSS. If your boss is watching other employees' computer screens, they're not getting any actual work done.

[christopherparke]

It's funny you said the thing about "what kind of programmer makes this" . When I started as a programmer over a decade ago, I told myself I would always turn down creating employee tracking software, or anything else evil. I'm happy to say I've turned down the opportunity several times, and always will.

[lextacy]

The unmentioned part about all of this is that this type of software SLOWS THE HELL out of the work computer.

[Rzagski]

I’ve worked for large corporations and I remember when something like 30% of my coworkers in sales were placed on probation and lost their annual sales bonus because they didn’t document working “enough” before 10 am and after 2 PM. Keep in mind this was a field sales job with daily travel….all throughout the day and working through lunch was typical, not to mention nonstop training after hours.all monitored through the tablet device. It was a disgusting environment.

[cristinat.]

Orwell's 1984 was simply "spoiler alert".

[xXESproductionsXx]

"Employers should notify the employees of the tracking..." it should be ILLEGAL to do this without the notifying employees. Im pretty sure it's illegal, at least in my state, to put cameras up without notifying employees

[fawazsullia]

I worked for a company that did this, even accessed my camera that I had to disable my camera.
Here's how it changed my work:
1. I was always on watch and made sure to type something, interruptimg my thought process
2. Because used to how it works and gamed the software ( productivity was almost non existent)
3. Started hating the manager
4. Did only minimum job required

[iAPX]

Joshua was joking about monitoring blood pressure and anything else, but frankly it's the next step: monitoring stress, motivation, engagement, and also any mood, through analyzed video meeting and real-time computer camera.
What could go wrong?

[deanlucero]

This shit is absolutely insane. If you work somewhere that implements something like this, leave immediately. The mental gymnastics that companies use to justify using software like this and how they spin it as leading to more productivity is asinine. Screw these companies.
