Well this is nothing! My company is cracking down via MAC address and IP, tracks it 3 times a day just to check if folks are in office from 11 to 6 😂

I am considering buying a macbook air, feel like spending 1.3 lakh for new m2 air is too much. What do you guys suggest, should you buy second hand?
I've heard companies also sell laptops at cheaper rates, where can I get one?

If you think 2nd hand is a bad idea pls tell your experience in the comments. I can buy new as well

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 ?

So, this company I have an offer from seems great culture wise. I asked some members for red flags and they said its a software they use that tracks them for 8 hours and takes screenshots every 10 minutes. I have no experience working in companies with this implementation earlier. Can anyone shed some light on whether this may be a deal breaker or not? Heard mix responses from current employees that it’s hard to clock 40-42 hours a week and takes away our personal freedom. What are the thoughts?

Is it fine to use company laptop for leetcode?

I am working at a company & suppose I want to take some data to my personal machine, nothing serious just some sort of file, and code which will be good for learning purpose, is there any way to do it without getting caught????

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?

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😞

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.

Tracking software now takes camera pictures too

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 ?

We know that every key stroke on our laptop can be tracked by the office IT team. How safe do you think it is to use banking sites on our laptops?
