For anyone who hasn't figured this out yet, Cigna is tracking everything you're doing using AI. AI scans your email, IMs, reads your calendar, WebEx meeting transcripts, etc. to assess how "efficient" and "productive" you are and make judgments about how necessary/valuable of an employee you are. This data is sent to senior management and the ghouls at McKinsey to inform the layoff decisions.

If there was any doubt about this, it was confirmed in the recent AI training. Hi Big Brother!

So we make a deal with Amazon on AI and now they get to add their spyware onto our computers….lovely

I will will not share any information. Dishcover rules. Capone will be replaced by dishcover.

A new person that was hired about 19 years old, I don't expect her to know better. Said she was sick and came in because the, the new bright-minded ASM. Gave her a guilt trip about. Calling out in the future of her career at lowes. And then started asking her. Detailed questions about her medical condition. And giving advice. I was just totally. Like, I couldn't believe what I heard. I believe her a hundred percent. She's too d-mb to lie.

I work in IT, and here's something worth keeping in mind.

Be careful what you say during Microsoft Teams calls. Even when a meeting isn't being recorded, it is still being transcribed. There's a bot that joins calls in the background, and you won't necessarily see it.

Your laptop activity is monitored, which you probably already know. What you might not realize is that activity on internal company websites can be logged down to individual clicks and keystrokes.

Some people will say you're foolish to discuss anything sensitive on company-owned equipment. They'd be correct.

I know for a fact that my computer keystrokes are being monitored, that my activity on my machine is compared to others in my group to help my manager know if I am faster/slower than others. I know for a fact that I get credit for writing emails but lose points for reading them (because I am not typing). I know my Teams activity is being metered and monitored. I know this because my manager has not only told me it's happening, they've shown me the reports on their screen. Does anyone know if they're going to use AI to do qualitative assessments of what we're typing and saying rather than simple count the keystrokes quantitative metrics which tells you very little?

Well, I must say, leaving this place has done wonders for my peace of mind already . Couldn’t be happier to have put that chapter behind me. Good riddance, I say. Was rather odd hearing my boss share personal info about team members like their mental health such unprofessional behaviour. Privacy my foot! Off I go

The finance organization shared the full list of laid-off employees. Shame on you, Chryssa Halley! Have some respect for personal privacy. If you can’t keep 22 names confidential, how can you run Fannie Mae’s finances? Resign immediately, and take your SVPs and their VPs with you!

Chryssa Halley didn’t speak for the first two minutes. Her video and mic were off. When she was supposed to explain what was going on, she froze. If you don’t have the guts to tell people they are laid off, don’t occupy CFO title.

WF's employee privacy notice, revised June 2026, reserves the right to monitor email, chats, calls, video recordings, internet use, office access data, computer activity, and CCTV — and says AI may be used as part of monitoring.

In plain words: "You should not expect privacy," including on your own device under BYOD policies.

WF is also among banks trialing AI facial recognition to monitor employees and customers.

This site allows anonymous posting publicly, but it is not completely anonymous. ( Just ChatGPT ) , I would very much carefully to post organization names, directors names etc. Maybe is just me, but …

Wasn’t this the same spyware plaguing BlueCross?

Has anybody in the past faced any consequences for not taking it?

Big brother is watching.
Instead of coming here to learn about issues and what people think, ET (KT) is more concerned with reprimanding those who might be posting. As if there are not more important things they could focus time and resources on. Hey, ET, this is part of the problem.

Federal appeals court on Friday upheld Oracle's $115 million settlement of a class-action privacy lawsuit over the alleged collection and sale of web users' data.

We never seem to have a shortage of complaints regarding RTO, so I’d like to add a potential new one to the list. I’m curious how they are actually calculating RTO, since that seems to be an ongoing issue. Does anyone know if this WiFi geolocation technology is something they are using, or considering using? I found this article and found the possibility is honestly quite terrifying.

I recently heard that a former CIO visited our security facilities with his new company. Isn't this something of a privacy concern? I would have expected our security teams to be less than enthusiastic about a former CIO wandering the premises to recruit staff.

Does anyone have more detail on what occurred, or perhaps why it was allowed?

is this a real thing or is sunlight need with AI and the question of records retention? are employees using too much insurance as to make themselves a liability?

It should come as no surprise but at the employee group conference Stankey admitted to using AI to query things like how many power points had a version of x or more, how many meetings include x or more people. This is what he's admitting to. Just a reminder that anything you do on a company device or product is more readily available than ever.

Google agreed to pay $10 million for an enormous trove of business data from bankrupt Spirit Airlines—but the carrier’s flight attendant union is raising questions about what happens to privacy after a company goes belly up and AI swoops in.

Asking for a friend.

This is fact.

Managers in FIS India tell their employees that Glint survey is not anonymous.
Be careful what you write.

Anyone from IT or Security that can chime in.
I know that we are tracking I am just unsure what's being tracked.

Occasionally both my laptop and external monitor blink black at very precise intervals. It's happened probably 2-3x/yr since we went WFH about 2020. Now it's becoming more frequent. It almost seems like a screen shot is taken exactly every 10 min. Does this happen to anyone else? How frequently? If it is monitoring, what triggers it, who sees it, how is it being used?

P.S. I know there is no privacy at work/on their equipment, and see the disclaimer every morning. I'm mostly curious.

Juan just casually exposed that he and the Life company and the Bank president are mining member financial transactions in the Bank to determine what they pay other life insurance companies for life policies and annuities!!! That is illegal and unethical, with serious implications to the sanctity of member data he is supposed to protect. Here is what AI says. While legal under loopholes in federal laws like the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, consumers and ethicists generally consider this practice a breach of trust. Mining transaction data for the explicit purpose of intercepting competitor business exploits a fiduciary relationship for aggressive cross-selling.Key Ethical ArgumentsBreach of Trust: Historically, consumers view bank data as a tool for security and basic transaction processing, not as a lead-generation product for the bank's own profit centers.Lack of Transparency: Many customers remain unaware that their highly sensitive transaction histories are being combed to create targeted marketing profiles.Coercive Cross-Selling: Approaching a customer with a competing life insurance offer directly after they pay a premium can feel predatory and invasive.Current Industry ContextFinancial institutions utilize advanced predictive models to segment customers and minimize "churn" (the rate at which customers leave for competitors). However, the ethical line is crossed for many when defensive churn-prevention shifts into we-ponizing personal transaction data to undercut competitor pricing.Could you tell me which specific bank or financial institution you are looking into? I can help you find their exact privacy policies and opt-out instructions.

It allows MS to take screen shots of your computer every so often and store them on the PC.

Now that Teams is active, does anyone know if they are screen capturing non member employees? Are they targeting specific individuals? What about keyboard and mouse tracking?

Does CSO actually prevent anything or does baich just act like he knows cyber from PLE classes? Wonder how much this one will cost us with customer monitoring for exposures?

Why am I getting calls to my personal phone number?

Do NOT go to the onsite Wellness centers for Annuals or any checkups.. if you do your health profile is exposed to the employer and will impact impact your employment if it is gets to be a high risk by age.

Go to your own doctor outside..

Only asking people who know the answer - if I add this app to my I-phone can the company now track my location at all times? Can it now see If I am spending any time during the day talking on my cell phone?

Go to sparq and go under career and learning on the right hand side.

You can see who is on leave of absence paid and unpaid and everything. Wow. Good going that HR in India sharing all the personal details of people smh.

Do huddle rooms have cameras, and if so, do they also record audio?

Yesterday, my computer started lagging and freezing. I use a high performance MacBook Pro, so this was odd. I tried to restart, but I was stopped by a pop-up that said "NexThink" software was being installed and restarting would cause data loss and performance issues. The popup disappeared in less than a second and my computer restarted.

Sure enough, when I checked my task manager logs, a handful of processes from "NexThink" were running, which I'd never seen on my machine before.

I was also one of the Mac users whose in-office time wasn't accounted for in the first quarter. So, while I'm hoping this is a fix to that issue, it seems like it's mostly just employee monitoring software.

What is the deal with location tracking? Who tracks it? Will MyWork and people with medical accommodations get tracked in addition to others for Workplace Excellence?
