Who checks the Sapience analytics anyway ?

Woah does this tracking happen in Publicis Sapient?

I'm looking for someone to write basic VB code to trick the software to think the user is "online"

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

Sapience Buddy- Grapevine

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?

Software Test - QA

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

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 ?

Chartered Accountant

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?

If all they want is to measure number of hours peole are online and key strokes.  People who are online entire day doing nothing will get incentivised.

Software Developer

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

To all the devs (working professionals and students), how much do you rely on ChatGPT for your code? Do you explicitly use it to generate code logic, or only use it for debugging? 

Plus, do you think that the newer generation of students might miss out on the essence of programming with the advent of ChatGPT?

Reliance on ChatGPT

Damn

Consultant

It’s clear to me that this isn’t good for me. My interaction with the outside world and being in the present is inversely proportional to how much I use IG/smartphone.

IG is obv the strongest drug, but in general want to be more conscious about what I do on my phone, when Inuse it.

Looking for genuine advice. Please help 🙏🏻

People who reduced IG/Smartphone usage, how did you do it?

Simple Shirley, Uninstall 
  
 If required, login from web only 
  
 I've set timers for 19 apps in my phone by digital wellbeing 🤷 
 It'll help in long run

Product Manager

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.

Attendance tracking

Future of work is making these AI your assistant. They are turning out to be even better assistant than many bright interns from tier 1 colleges. All you need is great promoting skills and you will be better than the most. 

GitHub copilot + gpt4 + Microsoft copilot for excel, PowerPoint, word is simply mind blowing. 

ARE YOU USING THESE TOOLS TO INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY. 

IF NO, WHY NOT..

GPT-4 is the best intern I could have asked for

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

Im not proud of this. But i was slacking off my work by working on a single feature the whole week. I could’ve finished the development part in 3 days. But i was not having motivation to work. Rather i was spending my time playing xbox 😑

Slacked work for whole week

Boss makes a dollar
I make a dime 
That was a poem
From a simpler time

Now he makes a hundred
And I get plundered
So I play the xbox
On the company's clock

I have to attend 2-3 hour long zoom meetings daily.
Its basically a scrum call where I get the limelight for 15 mins and for the rest of the time , I sit idle.

In the remaining time, 
1. I watch pubg gameplay videos in mute on YouTube.
2. Surf social media on mute
3. Apply for jobs
4. Remain calm and meditate by watch my breath go in and out.

Can someone please give me more productive/ non- productive ideas to pass time.
Thanks.

Does your company have a keystroke monitor?

Program Manager

I recently started a new job. I would like to share some of the experiences I have had with my manager. I am wondering if these are red flags or if I am maybe being paranoid or thinking too much.

It was quite difficult for me to get into this company and this job. The company is quite great and I was quite excited but some of the experiences I have had with my immediate manager have made me a bit apprehensive.
I would like to share them and hear opinions about it.

Here are some things which have happened which I have not liked so far - 

1. I speak to a Senior Engineer one day and next day my manager asks me if anyone asked me to speak to him. 
2. I shared an insight about a new tool which we can use on a deployment pipeline on the overall pod (under my skip manager). My manager immediately called me and started asking my status update and replied 'Discussing 1-1' in the group to prevent anyone getting visibility of the idea. 
3. My manager pings me whenever I go offline and recently he asked me in a passive aggressive way, 'Please monitor your Teams status. It was away for most of today.' I now feel kind of paranoid to never get up as I feel my Teams status is being monitored.

Is my manager too much of a micromanaging red flag ? I started a new job and my manager monitors my Teams online status.

Yes this is straight up micromanagement and insecurity. 
  
 Just stand up to him man. The more of such things you allow him to do, the more courage he will get and more he will fuck your life.  
  
 Just stand your ground for a few times and he'll understand that you are not the guy he can do this to.

Business Analyst

So I am a fresher who joined this decent company where they pay me a decent salary. I got allotted to a project in place of an Senior Swe.  It's been 2 months and I have been given tickets regarding features requests . The work is not easy at all. The team consists of 5 people where there are only 2 developers me and my manager. He is mostly busy so he just provides me an overview about the code base which is 30 years old . The languages are C, C++ and C#. I have been working on this feature request for the past 3 weeks and the pressure is immense. I am feeling so terrible that I am not able to deliver. I just don't like this feeling. I try and try and try but some things are just way above my expertise. I have always been good at coding but to contribute to a real world project is really tough. It's also quite frustrating as at every step you have to deal with multiple problems. My manager is a good guy overall but today he told me that I really need to amp up my game. And deliver. I just don't like to be mediocre but I am just stuck at this point. Am I overthinking? Or me feeling this way is normal. I just want suggestions from different people of this sub!!
