The phone definitely hears u. Stuff comes up on google all the time for me. Good to know about these softwares

[@BenjaminPreston]

Yes, that happens to me all the time... all the sudden I'm seeing ads of things I mentioned once to a friend

[@Gurusum6]

I tried testing this, and it wasn't just audio it was my camera picking up stuff and giving ads for it. Try randomly saying something like SCOOBA DIVING throughout the day. Or look in a magazine for something you'd never buy like a cat tower if you don't own a cat and point your camera at it throughout the day. Facebook seems to be the worse at giving me ads for stuff like that. Now that I've typed those out here I'll definitly get ads for them though haha.

cookies + confirmation bias is a hell of a drug

[@newtonmoon]

We always got those emails from MS I think it was about how many meetings we had, focus time etc. However, this was not reflecting the truth of the work actually being conducted, doing research and writing documents etc. I never cared about those messages. I was then terminated from this role. HR is often not what HR should be unfortunately. In another company I always saw screenshots being taken which was so odd. I would not recommend working for any of such company anyways that does not have proper communication and transparency with their staff members.

[@BenjaminPreston]

Yeah, the Microsoft emails outlining activity is interesting because it says they're not tracking your activity, but clearly have enough information to tell how your time is being spent. Brings up some privacy concerns in my mind.

[@EdwardHunter-p5s]

My company uses WorkTime and it works great! It is a very delicate and effective tool (no screenshots or video recording).

[@theclozer]

It’s terrible when an employer monitors an employee.

[@glindaDean]

They are logging into my computer and do feel harassed by it can I do something about it

[@blackswann9555]

Great points!

[@lizzi437]

I recently read an employee manual that clearly states that "There is no privacy at XYZ, Inc." Since, it's right up front, I have no problem with it. I can totally respect that.

[@BenjaminPreston]

I agree. I appreciate the transparency. As much as I want my privacy at work, i respect when a company is upfront about the data they're collecting.

[@poundshopadamjones9654]

I got mugged once but its OK because they told me straight up they were going to mug me before it happened.

[@PepeCoinMania]

it means its a very shitty place for a work

[@PeopleHaveNoGender]

@@poundshopadamjones9654 Yeah, they said "this is a robbery", so it was okay.

[@ConnieSerna-v8f]

Not just from home!

[@MrSeshy]

Great information, quick question. Could the Splashtop Streamer software be used as monitoring software application?

[@RamshaNaheed]

My employer did something to my personal laptop yesterday but I was unable to figure out what exactly he did to my laptop. How can I find out what did he do? I asked him but he didn't reply

[@claudiamanta1943]

Look into the cloud technology Iass, Pass, Saas and see if they involve using your own laptop’s hardware in any way. Fucking bastards with their fucking technology. Animals who can press buttons.

[@nahidbodiz7053]

Can my employer access the personal file folder that i saved on the desktop of my work laptop remotely?

[@glindaDean]

I have software for the company on my personal computer but they are logging on from my personal side

[@grayrabbit2211]

Software is both singular and plural. The more you know!

[@anniehunterspaintbrush7680]

What About being traced ...is this possible ...I need to pick up my pc moved cities away from creepy ex ...

[@Karen-ur6mm]

I understand watching whay is being done on computer but how do I know is the camera is being secretly used

[@KingDayDayDay00]

Put tape over it

[@kino7539]

Is this still possible if I went to the Apple Store and picked up a brand new laptop my company purchased online for me when I started this new position? I know that google can track what sites I’ve been to but let’s say would the company be able to access any more information on my computer and track my activity on other sites or apps I am on besides the google suite or the company platforms we use, since it’s a computer that my company has never touched?

[@BenjaminPreston]

From what I found when I was researching for this video is that Macs are less “IT” friendly for companies because they’re usually more secure and don’t allow for easy tracking. The only way that I found that would allow tracking on Mac is through a specific downloaded software like Microsoft Teams. So while they won’t be able to track keyboard clicks, etc, they might be able to still see reports through collaboration tools… if that makes sense

[@N64-b2f]

Can they track my activity, like im connected to company wifi? They haven't installed any app in my laptop tho. But I worry hahaa coz i download animes 😅 haha

[@michaellee213]

What to do? Resign. Don't tolerate this nonsense.

[@maureens4861]

They are paying you to do a job. It's not spying.

[@pugsleymcpuggington616]

Yeah, sure thing, these nice altruistic companies, we should really be thankful... /s 🤮 I'm giving a lot of my life's time to a company that makes a lot more money from it than the breadcrumbs it throws at me at the end of the month. And then the company still thinks to be entiteled to invade my privacy because there might be a little chance to squeeze even more money out of me? It's spying and it is disgusting.
