Well, we've created a tool that a manager could put on an employees machine to see how they spend their time at work. We strongly market/urge managers to expose this data to their employees and allow them to see how they compare to the average on their team, but they don't HAVE to do that.
The "spectrums" of evil that we deal with are:
Open vs. stealth: Right now RescueTime can't be stealthy, but there are certainly settings (academic labs trying to understand utilization) where stealth might be appropriate.
and
Exposure of worker data to managers (customers): How much detail do we expose to the manager beyond the team averages/totals? Due to customer demand, we've exposed some high level individual data to managers.
and
How much data we collect in a workplace. We're not budging here and are sticking with time/attention data. There are services out there that literally log keystrokes, take screenshots, and blindly cc managers on all emails sent (including personal webmail). Yuck.
