Mario, PT(@Mario_Sneh):Employee: “Can I ask what this software does?” IT: “It tracks activity on your computer.” Me: “What kind of activity?” IT: “Productivity metrics.” Me: “Meaning?” IT: “Keyboard activity, application usage, idle time, things like that.” I looked at him. Me: “Are you telling me the company is measuring how much I move my mouse?” He laughed. IT: “It’s more sophisticated than that.” That didn’t make me feel better. The software had been installed without anyone explaining it to us. A few days later, HR held a meeting.
