How employers misuse productivity monitoring software and create toxic work environments

from Screw the Hierarchy · host Debra S Falzoi

Employee productivity monitoring software is on the rise in white-collar roles. While it may help employers identify workers who aren't doing their jobs or are unproductive and see productivity trends, the tool also encourages micromanagement when misused. In this episode, I talk about how these tools create toxic work environments. If you've been abused at work and would like to share your story anonymously, email [email protected].
