Is Your Boss Watching? 3 Tips to Handle Workplace Surveillance

from From Dorms to Desks · host WRKdefined Podcast Network

Is your boss tracking your keystrokes? Workplace surveillance is on the rise, and 1 in 9 workers have quit because of it. In this episode of From Dorms to Desks, we dive into the gritty reality of "Bossware" and digital monitoring. As remote work grows, so does "productivity anxiety." Managers are increasingly using technology to watch employees, but research shows this often leads to "Productivity Theater" rather than real results. We discuss why this kills autonomy and how you can protect your career while navigating these digital eyes. Tune in to learn: The specific tools employers use to track screen time, keystrokes, and even sentiment. Why surveillance often backfires by destroying trust, creativity, and mental health. The one question you must ask in interviews: "How do you monitor performance?". Strategies to advocate for ethical monitoring and separate your "Dorms" life from your "Desks" life.
