Would you WFH if your company heavily monitored you

What a totally unreasonable use of one’s time. We should utilize catapults so that we can spend that time working instead.

I have seen the data in meetings and if there is an issue with work product they can easily access what you have been doing on your work phone, work computer, etc.

The fact you all don't think you are being monitored is a bit worrisome? I don't think you have someone necessarily watching you everyday, but if there is an issue they will check the IT info.


I would expect work on my work computer to be monitored, but I would not expect anyone to be able to tell I was taking a break to throw a load of laundry into the dryer, or was letting the plumber into the house to do a repair.

My spouse uses software for his entire team. He doesnt care when people work as long as it gets done, but they also have core hours. One person signed on and pretended they had been on all day. My husband could see (he access it because this person had performance issues he wasn't just looking at the info) when the person signed on, if they did anything, etc. They basically signed on to make it look like they were doing work, but didn't. They also lets say did 4 Xs that day when you should get 4 Xs done in one hour. It was laughable. This was a repeat problem and my husband even asked IT for confirmation because he wanted to make sure it wasn't a software issue. It wasn't.


This seems weird to me. If you require core hours, then yes, people should be signed in those core hours. Sounds like that's what the employee did.

If the requirement is to complete 4 Xs per hour, then he should have completed those Xs right? The fact that he only did 4Xs all day is a problem. Whether he's at home, or at work, but your husband can monitor how many Xs were completed virtually so what's the problem? Just tell him Dude, you needed to complete 16 Xs today and you only did 4xs - do bettter.


+1. Seems like enforcing performance standards would work here. Guarantee that person is screwing off in the office on their phone too.
