Lee DunaIf you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.
Rikudou_SageWhat dystopia do you guys live in? I’ve worked for some small companies and some corporates and neither did this shit, that really wouldn’t fly here.
ArigionIt’s illegal in the EU, so probably not there.
That might be it. The more I learn the happier I am I live in EU.
IndiBronyAs a Brit who appreciated what the EU did for us: this makes me sad 😢
Well, here’s to hoping that you’ll join us one day again :)
10EXPThis is from someone who doesn’t keep up at all: Does the UK plan on it? Are there at least people proposing rejoining?
Nothing serious, but the general consensus online is that it would be the smart thing to do. Note the keyword online. Given that I frequented Reddit and now Lemmy, there’s obviously a bias.
UK people were kinda drunk on their former glory and didn’t quite notice that basically everyone worth considering (US, EU, China) has the upper hand when dealing with them alone. Realistically speaking, they’ll have to join EU (or its successor) eventually. We might be talking 10 years, 20 years, 50 or even 100. If I personally had to guess, it’s gonna be 20 to 40 years.
It’s legal to spy on your employees in USA?
I’m beginning to think all their tinfoil conspiracy theories aren’t completely baseless…
SturgiesYrFaseLand of the Free, my dude!
Yeah, they lack personal freedom in USA, it’s just the way it is. Freedom means it’s ok for your boss to spy on you, they’re free to do that and you are free to be spied on. Oh and they get to own a gun which makes them like really really cool and tough.
Depends what mean by owning a gun but some people are so insecure about their personal safety that they probably want one
1984Why would it be tinfoil? The us culture is very much about hardcore capitalism. They don’t even have unions or proper vacations.
AngrilyEatingMuffinsWe have unions lmao what?!
kurcatoviumWell, our ~800 people company has unions too. But they don’t do sht for people. And I mean real sht. Except for once a year they have a meeting with free sandwiches they eat and then go home. Another year of unions well done… apparently by them.
But my friends working in big technical/industrial corp say their unions are quite strong and they at least care for employees a bit.
So yeah, there’re unions to this day, but their meaning is not met everywhere.
Dark ArcAre you sure your union isn’t helping? No union is going to be run by miracle workers, but that doesn’t mean they don’t improve conditions. I can’t say for sure, but I suspect this sentiment is part of why union membership fell apart in the 20th century “well my union doesn’t do anything for me anyways.”
Like democracy, unions do require some upkeep via people stepping up. If you don’t like how your union is performing, you could consider becoming a rep (admittedly based on my limited understanding as a non-union employee).
Yes, I am pretty sure. I know most people there personally. It’s kind of sad it even exists, pretty much waste of money in this case.
WingedThingNot true on either count. We just don’t have enough unions and only some of us have good vacation.
Lol ever heard of NSA? Employees are nothing
The NSA are not allowed to spy on their own citizens. That’s why they use data of friendly countries agencies.
And yet it’s been proven they’ve been doing it anyway with no real changes or outcry afterwards
It seems like they collect the data from big tech and not directly from the users.
Mfw you think mass surveillance is so scary
“Just bycatch we accidentally got while investigating stuff in Microsoft & Facebook”.
Idk but it’s a work computer I suppose
In that case I think it’s mostly fine
𝕸𝖔𝖘𝖘Indeed it is. There are limits, but not many.
Kinda I guess.
Installing software to log and remotely access a computer is not illegal. Remember that the computer isn’t yours and that you signed a document permitting it.
Not restricting access and using it maliciously might be illegal though. Idk.
