As workplace surveillance grows, experts say it's good to know the ways your employer is watching
Workplace surveillance is expanding, and experts are advising workers to understand the monitoring tools employers may be using. The story points to growing interest in helping employees recognize how they are being watched on the job.
Why this matters: Most people have no real idea what their employer can see. Keystrokes, mouse movement, email, webcam activity, location data — the list is longer than most workers assume, and the law gives employers wide room to collect it. Knowing what is technically possible is not the same as consenting to it. If you use a work device or a work network, assume you have very little privacy, because in most places you legally do.
