It sounds dystopian as hell but the software engineer in me has some suspicions about how well the whole system works. Basically I see 3 places where this tech would not work quite like the commenter said: * The base stack - This is JPM, not OpenAI or Google. I would assume what the commenter mentioned is the "ideal" and certainly not how the system functions on a day to day basis. I'm sure there are bugs, and areas where managers are told "don't trust this info, it's most likely wrong". * The integrations - To be able to track you like the commenter mentioned, WADU would have to integrate with all of JPM's existing systems. I don't know how many different systems JPM has but I would assume it's in the hundreds or thousands. I'm gonna say that maybe 75% of those integrations are working at any given time. * The Usage - So assuming the system works, and alerts a manager to an employee having a 'bad day', is the manager going to care? Are they even going to notice? I would assume that the system is not accessed by managers on a daily basis unless you have a manager that is extra anal. Most likely managers only look into an employee if they have been hearing that they are underpreforming. All of this is pure speculation, not associated in any way with JPM.

> I would assume what the commenter mentioned is the "ideal" and certainly not how the system functions on a day to day basis. It's also possible they're just making it up. There are lots of incentives to do so: revenge, boredom, karma farming, economic destabilization, stock shorting, competition, talent poaching.... It reads to me like embellishment from someone with a bone to pick. They noticed basic tracking and invented dystopian details that would be popular with the outrage sub they posted to. They actually claim that Chase scans employees' homes for "TVs, game consoles, and several other things," which are "all flagged if detected," as if Chase will only employ the Amish. It's just a little too perfectly tailored to Reddit.
