I worked at a company that was taken over by another company.<p>Soon after, they began this creepy process of monitoring “utilisation” where minimum wage strangers with clipboards would walk around every fifteen minutes recording how many desks and meeting rooms were being used.
Using a websearch on this title shows this is from 2017. Feels like clickbait at this point when people are transitioning to work from the office, where technology like this would enforce RTO
I fail to understand what this type of statistic would give to bank. If your employee is sitting at the desk and watching cat videos whole day, you are happy employer? And if you can also monitor if he is watching videos or doing work, why do you even need to know if he is sitting there?<p>Seems like just one another project whose sole purpose is to spend money so involved parties from both sides can get more rich.
