Rumor has it that the firm is introing Sapience to track employee productivity. Good luck everyone! Time to do even more work for even less pay!

The security Veep told a colleague of mine that communications does "monitor" these posts and even shares them with executives and other leaders. It is nice to know that he is talking as much as he does. So if a security danger-thing happens at our workplace and something had not been reported earlier to stop it from happening, we now know that an attorney can demand the emails and prove that they knew there was a problem that would endanger many of us. Thousands of associates on another post liked a post begging for someone to do something. Thousands of us! That was a massive show of support and a cry for help. They did it on layoffs.com because they can't trust to report it internally. He also told a colleague that he and his team now have to report to HR and he doesn't like that because they ask for too much to be done right away while they sit on their a-s. He said they were the ones that "had a part in fu--ing up some of his team's onboarding" which I wasn't sure what that meant. But the main point is we now know they do read these and can be held accountable when it happens.

Nothing like some good ol big brother trying to figure out who wrote what. Post about an HR exit keeps getting removed 2 times now.

Need to Know:

• An in-office day is considered 8 hours in the office
• New reporting will show how long employees are in the office each day
• Employees are expected to be in the office 3 "full' days a week

So we've got the infamous rto spreadsheet tracker, we've got the big brother spying on employees and we've got the 80% job elimination project...

Does all of this represent one "plan"?

The facility managers or people who think they own the office are monitoring reservations and checking attendance.

I hear no one is safe from the data spies anymore and everything is being logged, your eye movements are translated by zoom to reflect your every mood.

They're now requiring us to record every task we do with a stop clock for 5 days straight. Its starting with a lot of people in our group. they gave us an excel sheet with tasks they claim are a list of everything we do. the list is missing so many items. you then have to select a task and start a stop clock. you can pause the clock and then start again. we asked what this was for and they said it was to help groups perform better. our offshore people said it's being used as performance tracking. we went to our boss and they said "just complete the form". it's very scary. they don't have everything we do and don't understand what our jobs are but using this to measure us? Why did we get rid of Sapience if we now have to manually track everything we do? We're also being rushed to complete this and some people can not use the tracking sheet because it's broken and they had to start all over. Even though they had a reason it was not completed they're getting requests every day asking if it was done. What is going on here? Why are they making everyone track down to the minute when none of this is right compared to what my actual job is? This feels like they're trying to decide who to fire next but doing it with partial information.
Are other groups being asked to do this??

Anyone know what ‘big brother’ uses to watch us or what they’re looking for? Besides looking for more reasons to lay people off.

Anyone has news if HR is running report to check if employee is working in the office? Or it's off the radar?

are they tracking vpn 8hrs in office? Do they have that much ability to track? It was mentioned they will caught the coffee badging people on weekly basis.
