Director told us we should be using our laptops during in person interactions

Isnt it ironic how we were all forced back into the office supposedly for collaboration in person but now the new metric being tracked is screen time and keystrokes?? Apparently the focus is no longer RTO reporting as people are either complying or have been let go.

Now the new metric is tracking productivity which is starting with hours and then expanding to things like keystrokes and mouse clicks. Our director literally advised us to screen share by utilizing laptops for in person interactions. Am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous?? We have to be chained to our computers now so no time for in person interaction or events then what is the point of RTO???

Ironically I know our leaders often are not online at all cause they’re ‘traveling’ on the company dime or just dialing it in though their work phone. This company literally disgusts me. The only people left are those who are stuck with no options at this point.

You spelled 'left' wrong or are massively protecting, who knows which. In blue states you can't even rebuild your house for years after it's burned down. Government negligence created the conditions for the fire, and government gate keepers won't give you permits to rebuild anything even though you pay 50% of your income to them. If that's not authoritarian, I'm not sure what is.

This is what defines people on the right. Authoritarianism - they need have a parental figure (government or company) run their lives like a strong guiding hand. They need certainty and order. When they are afraid of change like layoffs they will build an entire narrative to convince themselves and others. This website is polluted with this type of person. Not everyone thinks like you mate. People that do believe you are of the same ilk. It’s pretty funny how you are so unaware.

It's a never ending cycle of objectives that are either impossible/pointless or contradictory. All part of the plan to intentionally tank morale. Been said before but it's true.

2020: WFH or you're fired.
2021: work in building A and talk around the water cooler or you're fired.
2022: you're fired for working in building A.
2023: you're fired for other people not being in building A with you.
2024: you're fired because you're not in India.
2025: You're fired for not being in building A enough hours per day or using AI enough.
2026: you're fired for using AI and collaborating in person TOO much.

The torment is the entire point.

Keep upvoting your own comments and downvoting ones that disagree - it’s a mental illness

@cb You're hilarious.

@dg "Days in office and hours in office is what is being tracked"

They are tracking "productivity" as well. Keystrokes, meetings, chats, mouse clicks, etc. You're supposed to be "active" for at least 6 hours a day (some say 7). I know a couple of people got warnings about not being productive enough already. The software they use to track you is Microsoft Teams and Aternity. You can find it in Task Manager.

Days in office and hours in office is what is being tracked

You mean the HY executives were lying all along? Noooooooo, that can't be it...

@cb sshhh...the adults are talking

Drive or commute 30 mins - 1hr, risking your life and burning gas... all to sit next to someone and share your screen so they can see it on their screen. Makes sense!

LMAO. My shocked face. 😐

The torment is the point.

@a2 Instead, the director should grow a spine and confront upper management.

This place is ridiculous.

sounds like they wanna capture audio

Build a better mouse jiggler

Sounds like the modern corpo-feudal system that is being implemented across the country.

Yes, it's ridiculous. But your director is trying to help work through these d-mb things that have been passed down to them. Even most OC+1s and 2s are tied
