This conclusion doesn't follow. I don't know what they do with them, for which employees, and under what circumstances.
- thunky 4y agoHow could you conclude anything else? Is there another reason to collect "screen time" metrics other than to keep track of how much time employees spend at their screen working?
- grog454 4y agoWell I can conclude they're interested in tracking some employees and not others. Or that they use the data to negotiate rates with the vision care company they partner with. Or that they look for trends that change over time, or groups of people. (BTW I'm as eager to find out if HN has a reply depth limit as you are)
- thunky 4y agoI guess anything is possible, but sometimes it's just the most obvious thing: they don't fully trust their employees and want to make sure they're not getting ripped off. You could always ask them. That is unless you're not confident they know you work part time ;P
