While their bosses are no longer around the corner, remote workers are not free from surveillance.
According to a new survey from Resume Builder, many companies invested heavily in employee monitoring software at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure that, even though their employees wouldn’t be in the office, they would still be working.
The most common forms of worker surveillance involve monitoring web browser use and blocking certain apps and websites. That kind of monitoring is bound to find unproductive or unsatisfactory employees. According to the survey, 73% of companies fired at least one employee because of data found during surveillance.Intense worker surveillance leads to resignations as well. The survey found that 69% of companies have had workers quit over a disagreement over monitoring.
