If you work remotely, your bosses are probably using software to track you. Here's how they'll catch you slacking off.

Bosses use employee-tracking software to catch remote workers slacking off on the job. We asked one tracking company what their technology does.

This is very much so a thing that companies do. My company uses one such service. It's just a quick install on the computer and you can't tell that it's even installed unless you know where to look (under Windows Services). It decides how "productive" you are based on what programs you're using, how long you're using them, and what sites you're visiting in the browser. It also takes regular screenshots all day. Records every site you visit. And more.
Personally I hate these kind of monitoring things, but since management wanted it rolled out in 2020 I didn't have a choice but to deploy it.
Can you give specific instructions on how to check please?
Open window, look outside. If you see Australia or America, your boss is spying on you
So as usual the solution is not having windows.
Holy shit, that was brilliant
Pretty much - I have yet to see an employee monitoring service that works on Mac OSX or Linux.
There are a bunch of different services that do this, I can't tell you how to search for all of them. It's safer to just assume it's there. I'm also not going to divulge which one we're using at my company. Just wanted to give people a heads up.
What's it called under windows services?
