Recommendation
When COVID sent workers home, many employers felt a need to track their remote workers’ productivity and commitment. The use of electronic monitoring platforms like Hubstaff and Teramind grew popular, and they’re likely here to stay. Washington Post reporters Danielle Abril and Drew Harwell report how this surveillance makes workers feel mistrusted, and they explore how firms either respect or breach their staff’s expectation of privacy. The authors warn employees to learn their employers’ policies, because – depending on your jurisdiction – legal protections may be scanty.
