WFH - Watched from Home: Office 365 and workplace surveillance creep
WFH - Watched from Home: Office 365 and workplace surveillance creep
Imagine your performance at work was assessed directly from the amount of e-mails sent, the amount of time consumed editing a document, or the time spent in meetings or even moving your mouse. This may sound ludicrous but your boss might be doing exactly that.

Privacy International and UCL student exposes how productivity suite like Office 365 offers features that can enable employers to access all communications and activities on Microsoft services without the employees' knowledge
I hate tech like this, this capability is terrible. I have a lot of staff working remotely and would never dream of requiring this kind of access. The maximum for me is like Upwork tracking such is randomly screenshot of screen while someone is logging paid hours. And even then I disable that pretty soon after establishing trust with someone.
Results matter more than tracking productivity to this level. This stuff is gross.
