Has anyone e heard of the tracking sensors coming to a floor near you? Supposedly they will be in the ceiling and under the desks for tracking. Charlotte has them going in on the 35, 30 and 27. Watch out big Gunjen is getting bigger.

@s3 weight limit 200 lbs so some of you are lucky that it won't work
They are heat sensors designed to detect if a person is actually using a space they reserved.
This is happening, I sit on the same floor with a person who is leading the project (Mpls). They said the reasoning was to determine if spaces are being utilized before decisions are made to put money into a space for improvements. Felt like a bs excuse but they seemed to be in support of it so I didn't want to press too much. I told them that it felt like a long term solution for such a short term question, they disagree and I left it alone.
LOL 2027 is going to be a sh-tshow. Instead of using technology to try to catch employees doing something wrong and further infringing on the work-life balance USB loves to brag about - why not focus on things that actually matter? Like figuring out why our apps are constantly crashing and causing employee downtime, or why we’re struggling with hiring and retention in certain markets and roles. But no, apparently that’s too difficult. Let’s invest in tracking where employees are instead of empowering middle and senior management to actually run their departments and hold them accountable for delivering results.
@c2 you make a good point, however, there is a whole “locations” team now, and I think there are 6 or 7 people on that team and they have a whole website on the intranet. They absolutely would spend money on this - sadly….
@bk this place is so cheap that people legitimately don't believe that they'd spend money on this. They can use the IP pings to determine capacity.
A lot of places are moving to assigned seating so the assertion that they're using sensors when we're so technological behind the times to begin with seems very much made up. We can't get them to supply tissues and kitchen supplies. They're not putting fu--ing sensors on desks to see if someone is in them. This is just a wild conspiracy theory at this point.
This is not satire, not even joking. It's really happening to check capacity. Other companies do this as well. Just Google it
@ah depends if they’re on ceiling or under a desk although both scan for your underwear.
I heard from Elcucko that each chair will also be equipped with sensors tracking @ss in seat time and number of farts per day. Excessive fl-tulence will result in reduction of your bonus.
While I understand this is satire, this is literally what our IP address tracking does. Are you in the office or not.
This is 100% true. Complaining about people reserving and not showing up
What does it do?
Yes heard same rumor for minnesota
