'The way my boss monitored me at home was creepy'
- addingnumbers 5y ago> They were ordered to connect their private laptop and desktop computers to more powerful office machines so they could continue their high-tech operations. > "We didn't mind," says Chris, "but I found loads of screens switched on one day when I came in to the office, and everybody's desktops were there, on display. > "One of the managers wasn't just looking at our work. He could see exactly what we were doing all the time - what we were watching on YouTube, that kind of thing." Let me get this straight, these guys are remotely connecting to their office desktops to watch recreational streaming videos? Why? It's a far worse viewing experience with zero upside vs streaming locally, not to mention the waste of resources on both ends.
