I am new to this organization. Is mouse or activity tracking usual in a senior claims role?

'How You Spend Your Working Hours' in CBS News Memo https://share.google/kGj4hIPCQcv13AWAs

many companies do this but ADP has always been built on trust and results in the years i’ve been there
However they are now testing pc activity tracking tools to measure how active you are and to determine if you’re active enough.
such a shame that they don’t want trust their employees based on deliverables and are now exploring pc activity to measure your value.

How tomes have changed!

For in-office tracking, does it make a difference if a person uses Cloud PC vs primary laptop?

I’ve noticed some people seem to have a lot of flexibility like taking walks, longer lunch breaks to go to the gym, playing pool, or spending time on their phones. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, it’s great they have that balance but I’m just curious how that works here. Does our company track productivity in any specific way?

What tools is Truist using to keep an eye on what employees are doing on Truist laptops? Some departments have Sapience, but I've heard there are other tools being utilized. Anyone know what else is being used and which departments are using them?

Get reports that are business critical? I mean there are so many things that are backwards but we’re focusing on keystrokes and badge swipes? Priorities seem a little backwards. If employees can’t deliver get rid of them for cause. If employees deliver and they aren’t in the office a certain number of hours what’s the difference?

Is Gong.ai used by ELT for layoffs?

what about our private phones that have the Meraki stack installed?

always on surveillance?

Verint is the vendor, they track activity while logged into the network. Not all departments have this, most do not. That probably will change at some point.

Essentially it measures activity, idle and inactive time as well as time in applications. Some activities can be flagged, like people that write a book in MS Word by putting a coffee cup on their keyboard, mouse jigglers, etc. Uncertain about putting yourself in a Teams call meeting or other ways to trick the system.

Check your entitlements for Verint and if you have it, assume your clicks are being tracked in addition to network login and out activity. Again, I assume everyone will have it at some point, but you probably don’t as of now.

Who is looking forward to our every word being monitored?!

If professional employees are going to be treated like children and have every second with fingers on keyboard and/or within the walls of the designated workplace tracked and reported, and those things will be used against them (and they will, even beyond the day/hour requirements, don't think they won't), they should at least be able to see their own swipe in/out and network on/off time (both in the office and remotely). "We know something you don't know" is a terrible practice.

Does FIS use user tracking software to monitor our activity. I’ve noticed recently that my manager has been messaging me more frequently when it is a slow day. Really makes it hard to enjoy working here.

Effective immediately? What a sh-t show.
Tracking our mouse movements or clicks.
I assume Q1 is the announcement of 4 days a week or back to 5.

I guess this is one way of saying, I’m only doing my 8 hours and shutting down.. see ya again at 7am.

My boss says they are tracking our activity daily and sending reports to leadership. Can someone explain what exactly they are tracking? Has anyone seen these reports?

I know that badge swipes are being tracked, but is time on site being tracked via the LAN line connection? I was thinking of coming in on site working for a couple of hours then leaving back home to finish the day. Technically the badge swipe counts as on site, but not necessarily total TIME on site. I'm hybrid with a 2 day a week in office requirement and wondering how this, if at all, will impact reporting.

Rumor has it that the firm is introing Sapience to track employee productivity. Good luck everyone! Time to do even more work for even less pay!

Will sell more EVs, make Ford profitable and reverse our record number of recalls.
So badge checks are the first check, followed by logins, then mouse inactivity.

Have a nice day y'all

When will hours in office start being tracked?

I noticed in the grand new update they just released one of the programs newly installed is Impero Connect Host. This means they can monitor your screens in real time without notifying you.

You can still see your badge swipe totals in workday, but is that even being monitored anymore?

Sometime in 2020 with pandemic closures, the company installed monitoring applications on laptops that randomly captures screenshots and reported meta information. Then came tracking the badge swipes at doors to ensure that all employees ordered to return to the office, did so and did so on time. IT can report how long you spend on Zoom calls, emails, spreadsheets, salesforce or if you’ve got blank space in your calendar. They’ve reportedly started tracking mobile phone location data for all employees- including once exempt sales and admin staff. If you have a company phone, and don’t live in Cali, you are now most likely in the surveillance crosshairs. Enjoy eating lunch or leaving at 5:01 pm knowing that your location is being watched. What’s next a loyalty test?

they've taken away all of my onshore colleague's work and now are telling us if we don't hit certain performance metrics we will be fired. they told us we aren't to produce any work; that's for offshore to do. and now they're tracking our productivity. couldn't be more transparent that this is their way to fire us without severance or unemployment. my team is made up of smart people. people with degrees. they were told if they studied and got degrees in valuable knowledge work the US needs they could find decent jobs. these people have families they're support.

now we have been replaced by an administrative caste one rung above us who isn't accountable to anyone in this country. many of them have false credentials. all of the money paid to employees of this company that would have circulated in the US system is being removed and sent overseas. you have been replaced. this country is a fu--ing joke and we'll just sit here and take it. honestly if that's how we're going to respond we deserve it. we all deserve health insurance tied to employment. we deserve to be replaced and have our position in society given away. we won't fight for it and of course nobody is going to fight for you. we'll su-k it up and take it like little bi--hes and kiss the feet of our new administrative overlords from overseas, send them our money and thank them for it. fu--ing pathetic
