This seems like a creepy overreach into personal matters that's bound to continue, and likely end badly.

- Godel_unicode 11y agoI'm curious how you see a voluntary program to pay employees to do something they should be doing anyway is creepy and/or overreach?
- ralmidani 11y agoThe program being voluntary does not make it un-creepy to use devices which track what an employee is doing at home. Many people use non-free software and devices which can (and often do) spy on them. It's voluntary, but the spying is still creepy.
- atomical 11y agoVoluntary work from home policy (required for work from home): We can visit and photograph your desk at home any time we want. I have seen contracts like this and it's becoming more and more popular.

- thefrostytruth 11y agoI understand that it's voluntary, but the company has literally followed its employee into the bedroom, via remote sensor. It's easy to see how that might be unsettling to some, even to suggest, "hey, wear this leash on your off hours, and I'll give you extra money."
- Godel_unicode 11y agoThat's hyperbolic, don't you think? Is there anything in this policy that says you have to wear it anytime other than when you're actually sleeping? Put it on when you're ready to actually sleep, take it off when the alarm goes off. Rinse and repeat.
- sobellian 11y agoEconomically, it isn't purely voluntary. Aetna will factor the cost of this program into their hiring decisions, so you're working for less than market rate if you do not let Aetna track your sleeping patterns.
