  My outrage blinded me of that possibility, thank you for bringing me back to reality

    If you have a minute could you describe better your outrage, for me the levels expressed are fascinating. All I’m describing is a system for WFH that automatically measures if someone is actually working on the system. Other workers clock in/out, Uber drivers paid by time, many jobs measure productivity in many ways automatically and often unknown explicitly by the workers, and certainly not with their consent. What makes people react so intensely? I guarantee you this is being done for real as I describe and there isn’t any law against it as people imagine, those laws are about video, audio, and communication surveillance that could be used by employers to violate employee privacy, but it’s legally delusional to believe that employers would be restricted from measuring if employees paid to WFH are actually working at home, and also delusional to believe the company has to disclose what it uses to measure productivity to their employees. This explosive thread, created by me on a whim with a dystopian imagination has been quite interesting in the strong reaction provoke and I gladly take all the downvotes for it’s entertainment.

  successful then, I’ve even been reported to the FBI! The outrage being generated is actually fascinating. Why do developers see their work as so special compared to other labor? For example many workers clock in/out. Fast food workers are tracked precisely. Uber drivers are paid precisely. I think it’s very interesting that the idea someone could watch exactly how much time they spend working at their computer, which they are paid to work on, would get them so incredibly outraged. Special butterflies it seems to me.
