Employers can electronically track much of what their workers do. But should they?

Since the start of the remote-working surge, employers have had a nagging concern: Just how much are employees really accomplishing at home?

To answer that, more companies are turning to worker-monitoring technology, which can reveal when employees step away from their computers, what websites they visit and how long they use various software. Depending on the system, managers can see what employees are typing, read their email and even watch them from their laptop’s camera.

It’s their computer not the employee’s and the employee has no right of privacy in the work place or on company equipment.

All that monitoring tech is rather messed up. We are all human. We get distracted, we concentrate, thats the human factor to jobs. Anything else would be robotic. There must be privacy that does not get intrigued upon by the desire of companies trying to be more efficient

It seems to be OK when governments do just that 🤷‍♂️

No

Actually, that’s really messed up. And it’s sad that lazy managers seem to embrace it just to climb the ladder. Our Constitutional rights should not end when we work.

Que mal gusto, el que haga algo así tal vez sienta un profundo desahucio por la vida. 🤮

Can my employer legally watch me on my camera, working from my own home, without notifying me first?

No. Obviously.

This may ignite many who buy camels and sheep and go to the tops of the mountains for fear of being destroyed by those sites and modern technologies that are designed mainly for this goal of destroying people, spreading pornography and spreading corrupt democracy.

Lol, NSA anyone?

Many years ago the Bell System did remote monitoring on operators to see how calls were handled. Also a service observer did remote monitoring aside from an employee's regular supervisor. I don't know how other departments were rated.
