Does your office have any employee monitoring trackers ?

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. You’ll not get get any attendance. Am I alone in calling this out as a dumb fuck move for a company of such size? Feel freee to add your org name with the kind of attendance tracking that you have.

We have tracking software added. It takes laptop screenshots and session logging details. But now it takes camera pictures too for every 30 mins. I am doing wfh but it is taking too much privacy. Should i add a black tape or not. I am also little bit scared for adding a black tap due to market situation.

My current company used HubStaff for time tracking. I don't know what is the norm in other service based companies so wanted to know the same.

Why can't we trust people to do their thing without turning the workplace into big boss. I signed up for a job, not a 24/7 surveillane I get it, productivity matters, but so does sanity. I'd rather have the freedom to get my work done without feeling like I'm being spied on. As long as I get work done on time. Does it matter how much hours I put in? Everytime I login I feel like I am being watched. This is making me go insane.

So, I joined this company located in Delhi last year from Bangalore as a permanent WFH employee. Initial 6 months were fine, even though I was aware they had pre-installed tracking software called "Teramind" while sending the laptop! But in the last 3 months the work culture or environment has completely flipped and turned into Toxic. First they made us install a remote tracking software called "Hubstaff" which tracks keyboard and mouse activity and time, and takes 4 screenshots every 10 minutes. Then they made it compulsory 8 hours a day excluding any break like lunch or tea. This month they tied work hours with Salary and started deducting the entire day's pay even if you are short by like half an hour! Almost all employees know they need to leave but are kinda stuck due to the current job market situation. I'M thinking of quitting without finding another job now, I'm just mentally tired and frustrated with the situation I find myself in. All my emotional energy is spent, I just don't know what to do😞

I want to switch to a company which is giving WFH permanently. Can I get a list of such companies?

I rejected offers from 2 companies last month because they had a mandatory employee tracking softwares. I have been very clear during my final interviews, I clearly ask- do you track screens? If you do I am sorry I am uncomfortable and I wouldn’t like to continue! They have all tried to say, we rarely see the recordings- if so, are you dumb to pay for something you rarely use? If you can’t hire adults you can trust, and actually give responsibility too, without looking into their laptops, I am not working in that environment!

Can anyone please list and help me finding companies still offering WFH jobs?

I am just speechless. Can't believe that this can happen.
