Your employer is at fault.
Refusing to install software you don't want on a personal machine is entirely reasonable, particularly when you offered to provide them with multiple alternatives on how they could still track your progress without doing that.
If this is a job, as opposed to some kind of consulting, then your employer should provide you with the equipment needed to fulfill the role's requirements.
- kwhitefoot 3y agoIn some cases even when consulting/freelancing the employer will provide the machine so that they can lock it down securely. Statnett in Norway provided me with a Lenovo X1 Carbon when I did a gig for them. I could use my own machine (HP Omen 17" running Linux Mint) but only as a Citrix client. And of course there was no time recording software involved, I'm not sure that would be legal here.
