Does your office have any employee monitoring trackers ?

I heard many of the Companies offering WFH/Remote/Hybrid have been using time and employee activity tracking software since Covid.

A few of them take screenshots on a periodic basis, monitor clicks per hour, option to view any employee's screen on live basis , tracking and reporting time spent on non-work websites.

Please do name the Company for awareness.

You'd be a fool if you think your company doesn't track your activity. Unless it's a very very early stage startup, a company will at least monitor your network activity with a logger. IT teams are smart enough to install software in the background with the user not even realising something is going on.

I am an admin of my machine too but there should be another user owned by your company name. It will also be an admin user.

Attendance tracking

Curious to know who else have biometric or online based attendance tracking in the org. For a stealth startup of 20-30 guys, the CEO/HR seems to have introduced biometric based attendance tracking. Unless you’ve logged 9 hours in office...
