I know someone who opened a notepad and places a small solid object on space bar.... It will just create spaces like forever which doesn't make your laptop locked and teams, slack will show online.... does something like this work for you?

It seems it ignores repeated patterns entered over time. So this is not working. It has to be random data. Trackers have become intelligent :(

This is a new software implemented in H*L to track employee’s actual worked hours on laptop and uses the mouse pointer tracker to log any activity. Is there anyway to bypass it?

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.

Is time tracking done at your place?

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.

Does your office have any employee monitoring trackers ?

So I was working wfh since past year and recently shifted to a project after a promotion, it’s a nice project and something I was looking forward to work with, but now my reporting manager says that you have to clock atleast 8 hours daily at this tracking software ( Nippon Buddy ). 
And I’ve to report to office 12 days a month, that’s okay but this 8 hours capture time is kinda nuts. 
Do you guys have these kinda policy as well or is it just at service based companies ?

System administrator

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.

Seriously, Can we get rid of the Employee Tracking Nonsense?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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😞

Hello Software genuises of Grapevine, do any one of you has a piece of code that trick Sapience Buddy (employee time tracking software)?

The usual mouse jiggling, media player, notepad tricks don't work anymore. I need more online time than offline on my analytics dashboard.

Sapience Buddy

Product Owner

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.
