AI surveilling workers for productivity

If this bothers you make friends in IT and ask them if management has pulled your metrics.

We've always fought long and hard against request like that but worse case scenario you can always get the scoop. I've let people know they're about to get fired and to put their 2 weeks in instead so they'll get paid out.

Fair enough. Luckily I don't work at a place like that.


It would legitimately not surprise me to see shit like that out of a FAANG corporation.
It's called Microsoft teams.


EDIT: I know there's laugh reacts but I'm not joking...

Why are people surprised? These companies would go to any lengths to make sure they make work hell for their workers, while their CEO line up their pockets.

It's fake, but it's not that far fetch from reality. We have Amazon 🚻 scandal as a prototype.
 
rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

these types of jobs will be completely replaced by AI, likely in the short term. if you really want to get worked up over something, skip past this "productivity" stage of development and envision the authoritarian regimes who will use the technology to monitor compliance.
 
I can't work when I'm being surveilled. Anyone else that way? Even in school, if a teacher looked over my shoulder to see me writing or doing a computerized test, I'd just stop, or even alt-tab so they couldn't see my in-progress work.

the scary thing is that you can get used to it (especially) if it's not right in your face, it can fade into the periphery. boiled frog syndrome... shifting baselines.
 
Aren't some businesses already doing this the better way, i.e. screen and device monitoring.

I have many shit meetings that last forever. They're not productive but I'm "working". So the camera-only thing in OP's doesn't mean a lot. She could have been helping him find what he needs.

As an aside, work attire needs to be improved. I'm old. Don't show your skin/short skirts/sandles/stupid shoes in the office.
 
Surveillance like this will never fly with me. Refuse to work for a company like that. Time theft is a time honored tradition.

This is China, right? Not only do they have to live with a 9-9-6 culture and a social credit system, but also have to contend with their employer watching their every move.

Add into the fact that there is no democracy in China and the whole state looks like a dystopian nightmare.
 
Then they better pay me extra cuz I ain't leaving that chair even on my brake.

How else am I gonna post all day on GAF
