I've watched the screenshots 3 times in 2 years when someone has been missing deadlines and failing to explaining why for several weeks in a row.
I employee people from all over the world. Some of them have real problems.
A guy from Venezuela got his computer fried from an electrical surge.
I asked him a lot of proof and he did provide it immediately. It was all true and I bought him a new laptop.
Another guy from Mexico said he could not work because a hail storm had damaged his computer. When asked for proof turned out that it was all completely made up.
He did not wanted to provide a single photo of his damaged equipment.
He played the "You don't trust me??" card.
In my experience people that do the "You don't trust me?!?" card are at the last rope and have buried theirselves in a huge pile of lies.
So no, I don't trust employees from the other side of the planet that I've never met in person that I just started to work with last month. Trust need to be earned over time with actual proof of being worth of trust.
I give them the benefit of the doubt and I ask for proof.
- anon2020dot00 4y agoI will just talk in general terms and not say anything personal since I don't have any personal knowledge of your situation. But in general, the problem with surveillance is that it is just all about appearances. People usually learn to "look" busy instead of being productive and that is counter-productive to actual productivity when people are just pre-occupied with appearances. Another problem is that it creates an atmosphere of low trust in the company. When there is an atmosphere of low trust, people will be less motivated to work hard and to give their whole effort since they will feel they are just expendable since the manager doesn't trust them.
