This is much more of a red flag than forcing someone to use Windows. A time tracking that takes screenshots? Who needs this kind of micro-surveillance?
- jmclnx 3y agoI also think this may be illegal in many places in the US.
- theshrike79 3y agoI can't think of a situation where this wouldn't be illegal. Unless it's some appliance-type 100% employer controlled device like a point of sales terminal or some control computer in a factory

I created a login with one website and then encountered a previously unmentioned “next steps: install this tracking spyware.” Absolutely not. But I think other people might not have a choice financially.
