Some countries have laws that require companies to disclose what they monitor about their employees. That seems fair.

- genocidicbunny 2y agoThat really needs to be combined with strong protections for the employees to be effective. If you can be fired at the drop of a hat for no reason, many other protections become very moot.
- gruez 2y agoHow would this work? If you're on company time it's very hard to argue you have an expectation of privacy, especially on company devices.

- consteval 2y agoHistorically you have had at least some expectation of privacy. Because cameras didn't exist or weren't economical. You weren't being watched 24/7. So that type of thing can work and be effective for a business. The extreme granularity of visibility and control employers have is a very new phenomenon. No doubt they benefit from it, but whether it's mutually beneficial is up for debate.
- AlchemistCamp 2y agoNot a good idea. Employees and employers should both be free to end the relationship at any time as long as it’s not for discrimination of a protected class. Otherwise you end up with a rigid system where there’s even more loss aversion involved in hiring than there already is.
