tl;dr: They just want to spy on and control their employees,

guessing you are not a govie but EVERYTHING we do is fully controlled, including keystroke capture software and every other imaginable software you can think of that can tell exactly what you are doing every single second of the work day (or night)... it is even easier to spy and control remote workers than at-office workers - I have to do EVERYTHING now on the computer while at the office I can go to the breakroom and shit on Vivek and Must for hours :)



Trust me, the kind of surveillance they do on a corporate level, in office, is far more intrusive than you would ever believe.

There should be laws to protect workers like this, but this won't happen as it hurts the corporations in charge.


not sure what they can do extra at the office other than put cameras in the bathroom :)

our lives and work are mostly digital so honestly I don’t think surveillance is that much more prevalent in the office.
