Had a phone interview for a job today. It's a help desk manager type thing. Remote.

I asked, "do you use keystroke loggers, screen cappers, and other surveillance technology?"

Confused muttering. Finally from someone on the call, "yes."

Me. "are these always on? I see you don't provide PCs. Are you expecting me to put these things on my own PC? Can they be turned off when I am not on duty?"

Them: always on

Me: "wow"

Them: no one else has asked this question.

Me: YIKES

@heurism that’s a massive yikes. These types of tech are sadly now so common too with the rise of fully remote roles. It’s one of the reasons I question as much as I can and tend to refuse contracts that expect me to enrol my device and hand over management to a company. Honestly … I trust no company now 😅
