Is your company tracking you

[ThaiSexPills]

If you are self employed then you are business...this reality... no boss here.

From one point tracking done by companies might he From check up when you enter office and ofc what stuff you will do with PC etc till when you will leave office.
Some bosses are even more strict than panal colony supervisors.

Then another form of nightmare might be if they will refuse to track time at all.
For example: we just have tasks given in Monday ( for example) and delivery time will be next Monday ( as deadline term ) and you then might have maybe 10 hours or 90 hours to work till next sprint delivery time. This might be real beauty. Additionally might be excuses that they had forget to switch on tracking stuff, they are friendly and doesn't insist to work certain hours etc.

If they absolutely doesn't track they really might put damn a lot of workload on you and always will use excuses.

BTW foe translators sometimes are used methods like very short timeframe given and ofc they will not agree to pay for work like night hours etc. Therefore tracking OFF, delivery timeframe set and ofc better if this will be remote job with self employed contractor. Bonus also will be that they will not pay for electricity you will use etc....usually.

That was the joke about my boss being a sick - I am my own boss. I own the company.

But yes, the future of micromanagement is scary. I was formerly a plant manager at a factory and before that, a maintenance manager so my background is much more blue collar. I wouldn’t ever say I worked a typical, straight “office” job. If it happens, my world will be least impacted by it likely.

For me, I’ve got guys all over different job sites working. I’m not concerned with micromanaging them but id always be open to some software to manage things more efficiently than my pen and paper style. I have a foreman who manages a lot of day to day operations with me and materials. My office manager handles billing, pay roll and stuff and I deal with the customers directly myself and deal with whatever is sent my way. I’m also on the tools if we’re tight for manpower but I have less and less time these days.

I learned in my management career that you cannot be efficient if you try to micromanage everybody along your supply line. You need trusted managers to handle tasks.

No he isn't pro putin oriented nor also pro ukr oriented. And he isn't troll account with clones...it is pretty legit profile.

i'm guessing everyone, even the trackers, are being tracked. but if everyone is being tracked, then really no one is being tracked. it still comes down to whether you stand out from the crowd and there is a reason to specifically target you.

I had to work in different places.
From almost more strict regime than in penal colony ...till stuff like when they told something like : there this and this, do job...there is time limit. Now I'm doing business however I don't have majority % of shares so I should bear in mind and think what stuff other shareholders will think and / or tell. I don't have 50%+ vote in company.
While they can't kick me out if they will not purchase my % in company and will de facto in reality pay for this real money.

I had some nightmare type job with almost total control ....even more strict that job in prison. It was boring while if to except total obsession with control they were not bad at all, pretty opposite.

 

[SandisLL]

Most obsessed was one stuff.
Literally I had come in, to show ID and sign in journal ( paper format + even then they had also PC, so...) with recording in format xx:xx:xx and to sign paper.

Then to go to dept, where again xx:xx:xx time recorded and again to sign time and etc...then they remowed seal and opened 2 locks and I then might use 3 rd key to open rooms doors.
This shit again had been recorded with another journal signed.
They even had banned to use phones or smoke etc in these rooms ( this really mpst likely was for a reason, at least AFAIK we didn't had accidents in this dept )....

Natrually they had obsession with control. When you etc... where you are...etc...

Jobs are different.

Eventually all corporate employers will track every second of work via video, mouse movement, typing, etc. Just like Amazon watching its packers.

 

[Protectandserve]

My department GPS tracks my patrol car, my work phone too if I’m logged into the mobile CAD system. Does that count?

When I worked for a telecom/cable I could tell what shows you watched or were watching (and change your channel) , where you browsed and for how long. I could look up your calls and sometimes retrieve VMs...

Most porn folks were like 5 min or less. I'm assuming 4+ min were spend finding content.

You a DBA?

 

[Meatspin]

Probably. I just make sure my VPN sessions/ Teams actually correlates with my timesheets

[fingercuffs]

In the recent times ,i see that the line managers are checking the online status of their team members by looking into their skype or teams status.
Anyone here has such experiences ?

Lol. 24 years ago when husband started working with GCHQ I was being followed. Edit: I was being followed then, he was doing all sorts of stuff, but it was around 2001/2002 I had a tail on me.

 

[Contempt]

Yes, my boss knows everywhere I go... even on the weekends!!!

Spoiler

Self employed.

 

[Contempt]

I have some Irish friends that make stuff just vanish......

is that stuff, alcohol?

 

[Why did you]

You a DBA?

doesnt have to be, usually DBA's are not aware of where the data is or how to generate information from the data they have access to

 

[Berserker13]

It's painful not seeing your kids... in case anyone cared

Damn :/

That's low tech. A lot of companies have switched to making their employees use a specific computer for work for home, which is of course filled to the brim with spyware. Easily bypassed by doing your shenanigans on a second computer though. The spyware might be good enough to notice if there are no clicks / keys pressed for a while, so the second computer would be more like a second monitor to watch videos or w/e.
