Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
@[email protected] do we get an update from your meeting with HR?
Yeah, pretty inconclusive for now. They need to look into it, seems like they were taken by surprise as well.
Im inclined to believe them that they didn’t know the sensors were going in. They had zero talking points about privacy concerns and were flustered.
I think it indicates they aren’t planning on monitoring people, but something more like real time monitoring of desk occupancy for monitoring if they have too many or not enough desks. I can’t imagine a scenario where HR would not know about the intent to monitor staff in an organisation big enough to have HR.
However, things can still be privacy invading even if they weren’t intended to be. I think it’s worth fighting against privacy invasion even when (or perhaps especially when) it wasn’t intended. Think of security cameras covering staff desks, intended to provide safety to staff but in reality make staff feel the opposite.
