Thread regarding Wells Fargo & Co. layoffs

Is the lack of transparency over productivity tracking even legal?

I was under the impression that in certain states an employer must disclose what is being tracked.

For my team there has been zero transparency on what counts toward productive time and our leader flat out said that he didn’t want people to game the system. People simply wanted to know if they were logged into the network at work but attending an event or talking to a coworker but not actively on the computer would that count….since there would not be a lot of typing or mouse clicks.

Even tech companies like meta decided not to track their employees. Kinda ridiculous we are being treated like cr-p and talked to like children…I don’t know how much lower this company can go

a routine discovery request will be to preserve the tracking data, esp when it goes against the narrative to fire whistleblowers. they already know they dont do this and its gonna be a huge problem in a lot of companies post midterms.

Yes a company can legally track anything that happens on corporate equipment.

In certain states (California is one), the employer is required to disclose what they track and for what purpose. WF has not done that.

As a manager, what your manager is telling you is BS. Because they dont get reports on you. They do not know how the reporting really works. And they don't want to admit it. Their bosses 1 or 2 levels up get the data and just tell them who to write up. Front level managers are powerless in the process and kept in the dark.

@OP what your manager is saying is they don't trust you, or are scared shitless and are solely concerned with covering their a-s. A far too common occurrence at WF. Many of the good managers who were actually concerned about their people were let go or left on their own.

No worries at all - I believe Winston Smith finally agreed with the Ministry of Truth and everything ended peachy keen.

no different than if you worked for Amazon and they track and enforce the number of packages you have to deliver. Company can track anything they want on their time and their equipment. I don't like it any more than anyone else, but it is what it is and they have a lot of legal leeway to do it

When you login, they warn you. You are working from a company laptop/device. They can monitor you on any and all company devices. In some areas of the business, the regulators require all activities to be recorded for compliance purposes. And if you're using a private phone or tablet connected to one of the Wells Fargo WiFi hotspots in the building, they probably even know that you posted to this board. lmao.

You do not have any Fourth Amendment rights or expectation of privacy on a corporate laptop.

Same thing outside of being within the realm of employment...look at what all of the data centers, satellites, AI/SI, and flock cameras are doing. Total grid surveillance clampdown. Suffocation of humanity's freedom and autonomy.

They are trampling all over our rights as American citizens (1st and 4th amendments, anyone?) and absolutely demolishing the Constitution, in their quest for total dominance, surveillance, entrapment, and soon to be false accusations and false imprisonments.

And the AI/SI (Beast System) "titans" work hand-in-hand with government and finance to have it operating in every system, while openly admitting that the demonic force they've created is out of their control, but hey, they promise to keep an eye on things in case it goes rogue, and can't guarantee it won't harm or even wipe out humanity as a whole, but they'll be sure to "regulate" their own beast system that's already admitting to being an enemy of humanity, because we can all trust that they know best, and can keep us all safe and secure. Pinky swear! Nothing to be concerned with at all!

It's network activities they are tracking. I agree its very low what this company is doing to its employees.

tracking productivity and being transparent about findings would potentially expose pretextual reasons for employment decisions. my guess is they wont ever go there......
