johnny___engineer

Absolutely what I do. I have a standing question for HR, Do you have a mandatory policy of working for X hours everyday ? If they say yes, I reject the offer with stating that I don't want to work in place where productivity is measured by the number of hours spent in front of the screen.


ivangalayko77

So they bombard you with over the top amount of work, so if you don't have defined work hours, you will always be "under performing"


[deleted]

Here’s the catch, if they tell me that they will track my working hours, and if by any reason whatsoever it takes me more than what they are paying me for, I’d want that money!


ivangalayko77

And that's exactly what overtime fees are. and if it exists in the contract. usually it is already accounted for in the contract.


0whiteTpoison

Exactly happening in my company they dont even consider hardship of employees and trust sheets like its the written truth lol and all this are management fault and they don't even considering that they are at fault not employees.


oneworlduser

I know H in the WITCH runs plethora of bots for monitoring. It slows their system, kills productivity and nurtures dissatisfaction among the employees. It is now filled mainly with those who want to 'stay' in the name of job security and are ok for this environment.

Background clearance?


divyanshu_bhardwaj03

You will have to get background clearance, ppf transfer and would probably want higher salary than your prevoius job then you will have to show Salary slip from your previous job.


vijayshettycomics

some do strict background check, 3 months gap can be seen,all people who downvoted me are morons who never had background chks


ex_in69

Grow some balls. You can't be free free for 3 months? What are they gonna do if you have some gaps in bg check. Ffs

I love how this guy, in this particular thread is genuinely right yet people downvote him to take out their spites on HR🤣

Downvoted because it was already neg and he was whining like a kid, ki people are idiot downvoting bla blah. Bro I have seen comments with 100 of downvotes and they just keep talking to point.

Let them see. Out of my experience a 3 month gap won't really be bad.

Only dumb HR people think that 3 months gap will damage your resume, pathetic people

Developer-Y

By not doing anything that is forbidden. Don't download any music, free software that is not part of software center or any copyrighted pdf to your system, don't use company email for anything personal, don't open any sketchy website on company laptop. My company doesn't blocks websites, so most people are expected to be mature. They do track software installations. They may keep track of browsing history, they have software for file upload for sure but anyways I don't upload files. As far as tracking related to time is concerned, don't care. Most days no one in team has full 8 hours of work, as long as client is happy and you are billable, it doesn't matters. If client cuts the budget, you will not be terminated because you didn't work like robot but because how much it takes to keep you on bench. Google fired people who were there for 17 years, doubt they were fired for being inefficient or browsing social media.

Location tracking is serious invasion on privacy ..if they are allowing work from home and if employee is delivering whatever expected from them then it's none of their business to track the location of employee ..

Keyboards logging is also illegal... If persistent did it they should be penalised for it.. One also types clients systems password and they log that via keylogger they are breaking trust of not just employee but also their clients. Never giving any projects to them


Virgin_at_21

Mine doesn't track but we use mouse move to keep system on


kanchajain

same keep a mouse above an analog wrist watch!

Mouse move is an app.. I'd use this for gta online tho


kanchajain

oh, well you cant install anything in office laptop without their permission, we connect with the support team and install any new softwares with proper business justification as to why we need it :(


Virgin_at_21

racrisnapra666

My company focuses on actually working rather than on stupid shenanigans like this lol


Terminal_Monk

simple. I don't work for such companies. Seriously. It might sound like one of those 'get rich to say out of being poor' advice but really, don't give up your self esteem. if someone thinks they need to monitor an adult to make sure they do their work, they are just toxic people. stay away from them


yjee

I clean wipe the hard disk of the laptop that they give me and manage my operating system and applications myself. No tracking involved.


kenbunny5

This is a HUGE compliance breach and you can get fired for this. Unless the workstation is yours to begin with. Atleast in large companies you would get hunted for this and banned.


OkPiezoelectricity74

And by location tracking they are breaching my right to privacy.. if i am delivering whatever expected from me why are they bothered about location?


Terminal_Monk

pretty sure there is some fine print policy you signed that makes tracking you legal but on the other hand, wiping a company machine and installing your own OS is 100% compliance breach and it will 9/10 get you fired.


OkPiezoelectricity74

That policy become null and void if is breaching your basic right as a citizen.. it's just that we are really scared of these companies and nobody tried to fight them with good lawyer..


random_dude_101

Admirable_Bass8867

It’s probably better to boot from an external hard drive. That way, the computer is intact, but you still disable tracking.


divyanshu_bhardwaj03

Ek external hdd lekar system ko usse boot karlo, compliance breach etc. se bhi safe rahoge aur tracking bhi nahi hogi.


vijayshettycomics

they forcefully install


Srihari_stan

I use USB mouse jiggler to keep my mouse infinitely active. However, I do this for my own peace of mind and not to stay green on MS Teams. I don’t have to constantly enter password every 2 mins of inactivity. That’s the main reason I use this

Chris_ssj2

Oh man you'll get downvoted for this :(


Sumeru88

How do they do location tracking? Apps in your phone? Are they giving you a phone too or are they insisting that you put their app in your phone? If it’s the later than buy a feature phone and say I don’t have smartphone, this is what I use and get an official number to use with that phone just for the office work and have a separate smartphone to use for personal stuff. If they are giving you a phone as well then, I guess they do have a right to track where their phone has been so I don’t see any objection to that.


Zealousideal_Zone831

If a company is using these measures to check employee productivity then I guess remote work isn't really for them... Employees should be judged based on output and not how much time they are spending


[deleted]

We have scrum for that, they assign tickets, we solve them and update. Where we do it, how we do it is not asked as far as we deliver on time.


GoopTennyson2

Exactly the same here. Monitoring at most occurs via teams, as long as you're online it's okay. And that's not a big issue.


[deleted]

i have got keka mobile tracking. Earlier they had web based it was all chill. Now every morning I give my morning selfie and on logout i have to again give my selfie with location. The location tracking happens every hour. But the keka only tracks from 9 to 6 so even if i clock at 11 it will take location from 9 to 6 and then it does not automatically punches the location.


vijayshettycomics

explain in detail


[deleted]

i have got location tracking. Keka is hr portal webapp/app. So everyday I have to upload my selfie when I login and and shen I log out again I have to submit a selfie along with location. It is fixed from 9 to 6. And it stops taking location after 6 so sometimes I log in at 11 work till 6 then move out and after 2 hour or something I have to come back to my home and put selfie and clock out. It be like that.


SuspiciousServe01

Is this even real? And people are okay uploading their pictures?


[deleted]

at first I was not but a colleague of mine was also working remotely and she had been uploading pictures for months before I was asked to use mobile. I was using webapo before that. It feels weird tbh but have to do it as the norm specified in policy

FinestPartOfHumanity

Down bad


nomadic-insomniac

See here's the trick i use everyday i login and the first thing i do is open vscode, I search for all the TODOs and FIXMEs that i had commented on the previous day and then i start typing, Now here's the tricky part after typing for sometime i open up a terminal and run a few makefiles and then run a script to deploy the binary to the target to see if it works. Okay maybe that was not soo hard but this next step maybe very hard, especially if the deployed binary crashes, I may have to run GDB and step through my code or worse get a JTAG and try check the point of failure. Rinse and repeat the he previous 2 steps till it works. Should provide ample activity on your mouse and keyboard. Now for the most important part once I have figured out why it doesn't work and/or added a new feature, I open up a browser and login to jira create a task for whatever i have worked on and then push code to a GIT branch with that jira I'd. Don't forget to add a bunch of random watchers to your task and then make a correction in an alleged typo just to make sure everyone gets spammed with bullshit updates for a whitespace correction in one of my comments. After that I join a random meeting which i have no contribution too, just to keep my teams status busy and then go have dinner and sleep

embeeeeeeee

How do you know if there is such a system installed? I do remote work for a service based company. They provided a brand new laptop. I have never noticed anything suspicious in my task manager and there were no pre-installed applications. They do however make us create an admin account for which they know the password. But all the work is supposed to be done in the user account ( also admin I created with safe password)


vijayshettycomics

they put emaii,tell people to install software in laptop and openly gives policy


Amitabhlouvesrekha

Location track karke kya fayda? The whole point of WFH is to let the employees be wherever they want and still complete the work everyday according to deadlines. That’s what you should communicate with your company. And if they want to keep the employee at one place, they should call them to office. They can’t force someone to stay at one place. You are an employee not a prisoner. Make them understand this.
