Lazy people and slackers ruined WFH. That's EXACTLY why companies wanna see such photos.

This is not different from seeing you at the office from a CCTV camera. If you are an honest worker - you should not worry.

No this is more like having someone standing over your cubicle, and every other person's cubicle, taking notes of every time you go to the bathroom or get a drink of water or stretch.

Watching you.

All day.

every day.

		Yeah if it were like being in office then the request to make it less frequent would have been the same and been granted

Taking pictures inside people’s privately owned homes is very different from a wide shot cctv camera in a company-owned building.

What, like you can't be lazy in person?

Also there shouldn't be a monitoring program hooked into office CCTV either.

The steel man argument is that WFO means a manager can screen glance as they are walking the floor. That can catch the worst slacking or possible contract violations like outsourcing the work.

If slacking risks randomly getting caught and fired or takes too much work to hide, then folks are more likely to just do the work or quit.

		Seeing the screen, or even an activity log, is far less invasive than nearly constant monitoring of the worker's face. That steelman is built for a different debate.
