I mean, that’s possible. Really the HR team needs to have a process and stick to that process for everyone.
I had a client that installed cameras in their assembly general work floor for insurance reasons. The workers got all up in arms about privacy and micro managing. After the first week the only person that logged into it was me for quarterly updates. Until a year and change later when they had a $50k inventory discrepancy. The workers were happy we could point to the external cleaning company with video proof.
If you have a boss that is micro managing you, with keystroke kpi’s, or mouse movement, it isn’t a technology issue. It’s a shit manager. IT can see a lot, but to be honest we don’t care or have time to go snooping. Same with God managers/work places.
But I’ve seen small companies ran into the ground because of one or two bad actors.
Don’t be the reason your company looks to implement software like this. And if they do anyway find a better company to work for if you don’t trust they are acting in good faith.
Agreed. If your employer is happy with your work they probably wouldn’t be using this software.
The problem is you can’t/shouldn’t install the software on a single person’s computer as that is targeting them and against several labor laws.
Moral of my story, don’t be the reason someone needs to install this type of monitoring/software.
Maybe install on everyone’s computer but only activate it once they’re on the chopping block?
Or install it on everyone’s computer and then don’t be overly pedantic about the occasional slacking off.
