Data collection isn’t new. The training is.

  You don't think collecting this type of intimate information about your employees as a major violation of the social contract?

    I’m just saying that they’ve been collecting this info for years. Keyloggers, etc. are on all the computers you’re given. Employees didn’t have any expectation of privacy - just a hope. Now, it’s clear it’s completely gone and so the hope and goodwill is gone.

      > Keyloggers, etc. are on all the computers you’re given. I was curious about this claim and I dug up this article from 2024. https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/internet-surveillance-workplace/ https://www.forbes.com/advisor/business/software/internet-su... It's an employee survey so it's not resistant to claims that the number is higher than people know. But I think saying "on all the computers you're given" is an exaggeration at best. I did think it was interesting that "One in three [employees] have had activity from their employer’s online surveillance used in their performance reviews." Sounds like if you're being surveilled by your employer there is a good chance you know about it. I've never experienced anything like that, so it's sort of a window into another world from my perspective.

      Right, they're not the only FAANG company for which we know they're doing it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46318494 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46318494
