Surveillance in public places is not surprising.
But in the company, have you ever seen a situation where one workstation is monitored…
Not really alarmist.
According to Weibo blogger @bailuvideo, in Shenzhen, there is such a company that installs cameras for each work station one-to-one, so close:
This operation made netizens look stupid and exclaimed: It shouldn’t be like this if you have violated the law.
Some people said that in such a situation, even the salary can be waived, and they must run away.
What’s going on?
One-to-one monitoring, the computer screen is clear
From the effect point of view, the camera is facing the computer screen, which means that employees can see clearly what they are operating.
“Want to see what everyone is doing, why not just install off-the-shelf monitoring software?”
Someone asked this question.
In this regard, netizens answered: The software can only monitor computers but not people.
emmm, it seems that “one sentence breaks the secret”…
On the other hand, the master in charge of the installation confirmed that there was such a thing. He said that he came here once in June this year and installed it for the second time last week, but he did not know what to do.
In addition, some netizens found that it was a technology company through the logo exposed in the picture.
But the boss of the company responded that the company had already moved out in April, and the logo on the door was the decoration left behind, and now I don’t know who it was rented to.
The implication: not us.
There is no way to know whether it is true or not, and some netizens said: It is possible to do this for special positions, such as maintenance of valuables, gold and jewelry processing, etc.
But if not, it’s really frustrating.
Surveillance and fishing means emerge in an endless stream
To say that the methods of monitoring migrant workers who have been exposed on the Internet in recent years are really endless.
The following examples are sure to impress many people:
1. The smart cushion “monitors” employees, and the boss knows everything about leaving early
At the beginning of last year, an employee from a company in Hangzhou said that his company suddenly sent high-tech cushions to employees and asked everyone to use them.
Sitting on this mat can detect heartbeat, breathing, sitting posture, etc., and the data can also be viewed through your mobile phone.
But what I didn’t expect was that HR came to her in a few days and asked her why she was not at the office from 10:00 to 10:30 in the morning these days. Some colleagues were also questioned why they left work 10 minutes earlier.
Only then did she realize that everyone was being watched.
After the incident was exposed, the boss responded that the HR involved had been given a serious warning for disseminating personal data privately.
2. Faces need to be captured every 5 minutes when working from home
In the first half of this year, many companies in Beijing were working from home due to the epidemic.
Soon, someone broke the news on Maimai, saying that Suntech, an adult education institution, requires employees to install monitoring software “overnight” and take screenshots of faces every 5 minutes. buckle.
The matter was also searched on Weibo.
What’s more, another employee said that this is not the first time, it was done during the epidemic in 2019.
3. Send a screenshot of the battery consumption of the mobile phone application after get off work
In April of this year, a netizen in Wuhan broke the news that due to the recent poor performance of his company, he asked employees to take screenshots of the power consumption of various applications on their mobile phones after get off work and send them to the leaders.
Some netizens commented on this as “extremely speechless”, “outrageous” and “worse than pretending to be surveillance”.
4. Statistics of non-work traffic (playing games, watching videos, etc.)
Similar to the screenshot of power consumption consumption after get off work, Gome Group has also been exposed to directly count the traffic consumed by each employee when they use it to watch videos and play games during working hours.
A total of 11 employees received notification penalties for non-work traffic exceeding 10G.
5. Install signal jammers and timers in the bathroom
In some big Internet companies, this phenomenon is not uncommon.
For example, NetEase was once reported to have installed a mobile phone signal jammer in the bathroom, but said the purpose was “for your health”.
Kuaishou also claimed that a timer appeared in the bathroom to control the time when employees went to the toilet.
However, the official response after the event was that the pits were limited, and the queues of employees were serious. This is to test the number and time of daily bathroom use, so as to facilitate the judgment of the number of mobile toilet pits that need to be increased.
And not only domestically, but also abroad.
Last year, a game-related company in Russia used AI to analyze the activities of employees on work software and fired 40% of employees who were judged to be “disengaged and inefficient”.
After the matter fermented, the boss apologized for his lack of emotional intelligence.
…
There are many similar examples.
Right now, some companies are looking to have more control over their employees’ activities while they’re on the job, due to concerns about employees being lazy and wanting to increase output.
This is not entirely incomprehensible.
But just like everyone’s reactions and evaluations to the above cases, if the company breaks the legal and necessary boundaries and violates the law, it will have more of a counter-productive effect, which will greatly reduce the enthusiasm and loyalty of employees.
…
So is it necessary for the company to monitor employees? How strong should this force be?
