I'm sorry, but I find tools like this so questionable. The idea the boss should know when his or her employees are planning to leave without even asking seems like a Orwellian nightmare waiting to happen.
Reminds me of those apps people install to track friends and relatives.
- joezydeco 10y agoWhy is it wrong for a manager to understand the needs and motivations of their employees? Sometimes you don't have to ask directly - there are other signals. Rands covers a good portion of it here: http://randsinrepose.com/archives/bored-people-quit/ http://randsinrepose.com/archives/bored-people-quit/
- artmageddon 10y agoWhile it's not wrong for a manager to try to make his/her employees happy, I think the parent covered it when he/she mentioned the Orwellian aspect of it. My other fear would be my employer deciding to see me out the door much more quickly if they found out that I was looking for another job.
