Some People Can And Will Continue To Work From Home,

call workers for instance as a group do not really have to go into work,

but how does your boss know what you are doing and when? well that is easy, get all employees to sign a new contract that allows monitoring by AI-powered cameras in workers’ homes as well as voice analytics and storage of data collected from the worker’s family members, including minors, also the contract asks workers to agree to having video cameras installed in their home or on their computers, pointing at their workspace and recording everything in real-time. They must also agree to the use of AI-powered video analysis tools that can identify objects around the workspace, like mobile phones, or paper, which are not allowed, other controversial aspects of the contract asks workers to agree to sharing data and images related to any children they have under the age of 18, sharing biometric data including fingerprints and photos, and even taking polygraph tests if the company requests it, talk about 1984 and Big Brother! if this all sounds a bit unreal it is actually happening to some employees of Teleperformance, which employs over 380,000 people worldwide, and around 39,000 in Colombia who are being asked to sign the new contract, the company counts Apple, Amazon and Uber among its clients, and has claimed that some of its clients have requested more drastic monitoring, to ensure that their data is being handled according to the strictest standards, “The contract allows constant monitoring of what we are doing, but also our family,” one worker told NBC News. “I think it’s really bad. We don’t work in an office. I work in my bedroom. I don’t want to have a camera in my bedroom.” Teleperformance spokesman Mark Pfeiffer told NBC News that “cameras were used for spot checks of the company’s clean desk policy and occasionally to ensure compliance with data security processes and that no data is recorded from employees,” adding that employees consented to sharing biometric data and taking polygraphs, given a choice of a camera and those  conditions at home, I would rather go to work in the office!
