Governments/Companies/Organizations want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should NOT have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people do NOT get married and do NOT get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.

Of course...I recently came with the "anti-VM" idea. Think of VNC, but instead of network connected (you can't put a personal PC on enterprise network), use a cheap HDMI capture with some way of giving input to a 2nd PC. Last time I tried, I used MS camera app with a 3-device KB and 2-device trackball. Unfortunately a screenshot would pick it up, but that would happen with a VM anyway. Now, since COVID, when I would be in the office, I would actually have work, like use oscilloscopes or other HW-contact work. So "working-look" slacking off was not an option.

[@davosseaworth392]

I have worked at this company and trust me it's much worse. The employee tracking isn't even the main problem. I used python to trick the software into thinking I was working using random key presses and mouse clicks and a virtual camera that gets its feed from a pre-recorded video. The main problem is that they have a ranking system where u get points for fixing a bug or building a feature. Each work item has a time limit and if you don't complete it before the time limit you get 0 points. Every month those at the bottom of the list are fired. They always keep firing and hiring new people. Now the work is such that you will have to work at least 60 hours a week in order to remain at a safe spot in the rank list. Also, most of your colleagues including your manager are not very supportive or communicative. They see you as competition and want you to fail. Many times i wasn't able to complete the task assigned to me within the time limit because one of my peers who did the rca for the bug took too long to respond to my question. It is good money for a 3rd world country but you will have to give up all your social and family life. Most of the people who work there are in their late 30s or early 40s and all look the same: grey haired and fat. They are dead inside and their lives are tied to their chairs. Sometimes I had to work on Saturdays and Sundays to remain at a safe spot in the ranks. Moreover this guy in the video is some sort of PR guy for the company. It's his job to praise them.

At my workplace, I routinely struggle to get anything done, because people randomly come to my cubicle and ask me all kinds of questions about complicated technical problems. I'm a contractor and don't get invited to a lot of the meetings the actual employees do, meetings that are supposed to teach them how to do their jobs by giving updates on project priorities. But they end up asking me what to do, because I just read all the technical documents and proceed directly to putting the pieces together. If I run into any problems, I consult the schematics and stack changes and black/gray box my way to a functional system, writing down everything I did. The client often fails to provide me with access to information I have to guess instead. And the employees come to me for guidance. But the company hasn't hired me. In a way I'm glad they haven't, because I'd be in the meetings all day long.

Productivity didn’t matter where I worked, it was all about who liked who. I used to put black tape over the laptop camera and microphone. If there was a complaint, putting up a picture in front of camera would be next. Also created a program to put in key strokes because they tracked number of keystrokes. If that wasn’t working, I was going to make a mechanical device to type in keystrokes. Luckily made it to retirement and don’t need to put up with this BS anymore.

[@chaoscarl8414]

"Also created a program to put in key strokes because they tracked number of keystrokes." I've never really understood this. Keystrokes does not equal productivity. Sure, I could just start hammering away at my keyboard, and I might eventually end up with a really really bad and buggy app. Or I could read the task specifications, lean back in my chair, think about the best way to do this, and then make a good app that doesn't require hours upon hours of debugging and fixing later. Ironically, this was actually brought up several times during all-hands meeting at a previous workplace. The bosses just didn't seem to understand that doing it right now saves you an awful lot of headache in the long run. But that wasn't important. Just churn out as many garbage apps as possible and hope that the customer doesn't realize just how many bugs there are. Of course, the customer nearly always found out, so either we lost a customer or we ended up spending an ungodly amount of man-hours fixing our own mistakes.

I'm a software dev from Romania. Here, the cost of living is ... like nothing. I used to make like €24k a year (after taxes). I'm guessing that sounds like nothing. But, even then. I rented an apartment on main street. Ate almost exclusively at fancy restaurants, worked from home. Had my own hours as an employee. Yeah, I owned a shit car, but that's the only thing I can even name that bothered me. Crossover hires in my area. They pay ~120k a year. I can live on 12k without cutting back. Let's say 20k and include unforeseeable expenses. That's 100k a year into an investment portfolio. That's not bad. I would have simped too. Later I learned why they call Romania a tax haven. I make like 80k a year (after taxes) with one of the chillest jobs ever. Still make my own hours. Company takes us on expensive team buildings all over Europe twice a year. Now, I'm not so eager to make that extra 40k by being a simp. Plus the 120k is a lie. You only get that money if they never catch you leaving your chair, or if you work extra for every time they do catch you. Yeah. Pass.

The issue with the "if you don't have anything to hide, you have nothing to fear," is that nobody is perfect and employers aren't acknowledging how middle management works. If your boss decides they don't like you, they tend to start building a case against you. Any photo or video can be taken out of context. You standing up to stretch your legs or eating a snack can be used against you as case for termination or worse. Maybe you're a person who talks to yourself when you're alone. All those moments on camera can be taken out of context. It's not that an employee might have something to hide, it's that someone who is looking for an issue can typically find something to support their claims if given enough time. If you can't trust someone, fire them. If they aren't productive enough, fire them. If they are doing well stop looking for problems where they don't exist.

[@JoshuaFluke1]

The issue with "if you have nothing to have, you have nothing to fear" is that is whoever says it first, it then automatically puts the other on the defensive. It's circular logic and exists purely for control.

You bring up a valid narrative of how at will employment works. I’ve been walking the earth for 65 years now, and I’ve died on some hills in my time. At will employment terminations are far more often arbitrary than causal. Been there, done that, seen that done to others. If they want you out, you’re out. Using these gimmicks and tools to expedite this is just more in the arsenal that favors and enables employers. My current “train wreck” employer of 10 years tenure uses cameras to watch us, and GPS tracking systems in all company trucks. A former employer of mine installed cameras in the bathrooms. It actually made national news. Some of the employees sued and won.

As a supervisor of employees who telework several days a month I think this dystopian crap needs to stop. If you don’t trust your employees and can’t judge their productivity by output that is a management problem, not an employee problem.

I was a tech for Telus for a year when I was fresh out of uni and couldn't get a job in my field. We had phone call meetings every day for 30 mins to an hour. It was a waste of everyone's time as we're typically sitting outside of the customer's home waiting to get off the call so we can go in and do the install. Got into a heated argument with my manager about how cameras aren't necessary. He said cameras must be on. Alright I thought, so I turned on my rear camera. He tries to pick on me again stating that he needs to see us engaged. And I said "How can you expect anyone to be engaged when we're driving?" Stumped him good. Got written up for that one but that was worth it. Got some texts from my coworkers saying they enjoyed the exchange. Another time everyone was being asked for "feedback" about an hour and a half long presentation. My turn comes around and I say, "I don't really have any feedback." Same guy as before goes, "You have to provide some feedback." So I said, "Alright, my feedback is that I don't have any feedback." The silence was pure bliss. Again, got written up for that one. Like I'm trying to be polite right off the batt. If you press me I won't be so polite but I'll keep my point going. Like it or not, that's what you get.

[@anony88]

A lot of companies watch their employees using security cameras in their offices.. Its ridiculous. Don't hire someone if you can't trust them. If employees give you reasons to not trust them, it might be worth having a normal conversation with them where you air your concerns. If they work at home, then as long as they get their work done, who the hell cares?

[@TFDusk]

I feel security cameras within an office are a bit different as at least in my opinion it's there for more of a safety concern above everything else primarily for the employer, but also for the employee. I knew this person back when I was working in Amazon who was injured on the job that got captured on their cameras, which helped him to be able to have a really strong case to have the procedures that he needed to do during his time at the hospital be completely paid for by Amazon at the time, on top of him having access to being able to work on the side while he was recovering from that injury. Sure, spying on employees in the office with security cameras can lead to weird shit, but at least to me that is order of magnitudes different from being monitored in your own home, as your home is not their property. The safety aspect goes out the window in my eyes as one of the responsibilities from work from home imo at least would be that you're responsible for your own safety in your home.

It's funny as here in Quebec, the remote work law states that if your employer monitor your laptop then you are allowed to charge overtime as you have a way to prove it. If your company does not monitor you (usually salary employees) then you cannot charge overtime as there is no way to prove it. Therefore, no corps here are monitoring employees as it is very beneficial for them. Whatever you work 32 hours or 60 hours a week, they still pay you the same.

[@PsychoMachado]

Best place I worked had a policy (for devs) that you'd need to log 6 hours of work out of the 8 you were hired. The idea was "you can't be productive 100% of the time, you'll have to look stuff up, have a coffee, drink some water, ask a question to a colleague, talk to your boss, etc" so you'd hve to log 6 hours of actual work and the other 2 was for non-task related things

[@HiFisch94]

But isn't asking your co-workers questions task related? I'm doing the same btw. As long as I'm faster than most of my colleagues, my boss has to accept that I'm only working 5-6hrs of every 8hr work day using the remainder of the time to drink coffee, have a chat and have a relaxed state of mind to work focused on solutions.

[@CaraMarie13]

Quite frankly, even that seems to have been designed with the same hope that unlimited PTO was. Like you really only have one hour because the second hour is lunch. And I've yet to work in a place where anyone can honestly say that they have worked six full hours a day. The first hour, the hour after lunch, and the last hour are unproductive hours for the majority of people. If a workplace is willing to acknowledge the fact that people need time to do nothing, then they should just change how they track productivity. Do you and your coworkers need six hours to get your work done for that day? If yes, then your job knows what your job is and how long it takes to get it done. If no, then your job is pretending to understand it by giving you an hour to do nothing even though they probably already know your workload doesn't require six hours of work to complete.

[@chaoscarl8414]

Most places I've worked would have you log those hours as part of the project anyway. After all, might as well get the customer to pay, right?

[@TriHard612]

Even this is ridiculous. It should only matter if the assigned task is completed. Otherwise what is the incentive to finish early, have nothing to do and be reprimanded for? If you put a minimum threshold then any employee with a hint of self preservation would work to that time. That leads to overbilling and projects not being completed when they could. No that is not wage theft. " I was assigned 1 task today. I am expected to bill 5 hours each day. By the company logic, that task should therefore take at least 5 hours. It took 5.01 hours. I worked to the expected level of effort the company established."

[@PsychoMachado]

@@TriHard612 If you worked wit agile methods, there are work periods called Sprints that are usually 2 weeks long which the team gets together and decide which tasks are high or low priority and how long each task should take. The way you put "It took 5.01 hours to do it" it's a great way to put a target on your back, since the work wasn't measured by the minute. If it took you 4.9h to do it, you'd mark it took 5 hours and that would be it.

[@victorunbea8451]

While I am not a lawyer, I think that the Canada case law is not about privacy issues but wrongful termination vs time theft. You can't reasonably invoke a case where the issue of privacy is never discussed as an existing case supporting breach of privacy by employers. It's like invoking the McDonalds hot coffee incident as a case for coffee being bad for you. The mere mentioning of something doesn't automatically give legal jurisprudence.
