Seriously, Can we get rid of the Employee Tracking Nonsense?

Why can't we trust people to do their thing without turning the workplace into big boss. I signed up for a job, not a 24/7 surveillane

I get it, productivity matters, but so does sanity. I'd rather have the freedom to get my work done without feeling like I'm being spied on. As long as I get work done on time. Does it matter how much hours I put in?

Everytime I login I feel like I am being watched. This is making me go insane.

If all they want is to measure number of hours peole are online and key strokes. People who are online entire day doing nothing will get incentivised.

I thought they were not doing anything with this data. Are they trying to find who is working by that data ?

Well as long as they are paying your salaries they are well within their legal rights to do whatever they want as allowed by law. Is there any legal precedent on not monitoring your employees?

I am sick of being watched like a toddler using a baby cam.

Well it's all legal as long as they are tracking on company owned devices.

Employers and companies know that people like to slack.

Look at twitter. Musk fired 80% of the people. People mocked it that the platform won't be able to function without people and here we are.

It is doing pretty ok. And the expenses have been cut to less than 50%. App engagement is at all time high.

Agreed but banket punishment or policing can harm employee morale. As for Twitter, an app like that doesn't collapse overnight, being a private entity now allows them to avoid public reporting, lot of credit goes to its early engineers for robust code and engineering practices.

Hello everyone

I really do not understand why companies force employees to do things they don’t like ? I mean any company wants profits and productivity from employees don’t they? So why do they force each employee to work from office ...
