Companies generally have wide legal latitude to monitor workers, and some are turning to more granular sources of data such as IP address information transmitted via Wi-Fi, ceiling-mounted heat sensors and weight-triggered sensors attached to chairs that can track workplace occupancy levels, executives and technology providers say.

Some companies have told workers to document their whereabouts. In April, the operating committee of JPMorgan sent employees a memo asking them to log when they are out of the office—whether for personal reasons like vacation or sick days, or for business travel or client meetings.

The memo also said the bank was working on attendance tracking related to business travel and client meetings, such as leveraging corporate travel data or email calendars.

Surely a promising sign of things to come.

And people wont bat an eye

Bravo on catchy thread title, pretty clever

there’s no way s*** like this should be legal in a workplace but this is what happens when efficiency is measured in every single possible way

About to take a nap on the clock while wfh bc my work is done

i’m glad my company is fully remote and doesn’t care as long as you make your meetings and do your work. we have an office people barely show up to and my boss doesn’t even want people going there

And the government is behind the times by decades and/or suffers from regulatory capture. Government needs to catch up with tech laws because they've already been lagging behind and this AI s*** could be disastrous to the labor force.

f*** em

This is America.

What would happen if everyone in da Us just went on strike for like 3 days, like how would that affect s***.

I knew a dude who said he worked from home and his company had some sensor or camera in front of him or something and he was prohibited from getting out of his seat on the clock, even to pace or do a full stretch. I couldn’t believe what he was saying, that felt like a serious offense against human rights.

wtf this some serious slave s***

yup, technology has advanced so fast in the past decade alone they are still stuck on the privacy aspect of it and not all the other problems majority of people can’t even fathom. 10-15 years from now people would have wished we shut half this s*** down now

those silicon valley mfs are the ones funding and engineering s*** like this too
