techinsider Sooo ... micromanaging “Big Brother” Gross Trust and respect goes a long way for a healthy corporate culture

Now this is “1984” POTUS

Great feature. If your employees are also inmates.

It doesn’t sound like it tracks when work is really done.

And there is no way in hell I would subject my employees to that kind of monitoring

good

Isn't this an invasion of privacy? I wouldn't want anyone to monitor me while I'm working

They forgot about Slack.
