Ah but it doesn't record the audio, just the sound levels, and all those times that it exploded when someone happened to say trade union are coincidental faults with the lithium battery.

We need the equivalent of the shrimp = small pastry avatar, but for ambulances and their mysteries now.

Most big tech companies are going in the opposite "relaxed" direction - with the thought that the carrot is a better motivator than the stick for their employees. But tbh, this kind of tech is probably used by horrible third party contractors for the aforementioned tech companies, and these people are already kinda slaving their workforce to begin with (or I can see this being in use by lovely people like Musk).


E: It's interesting how the cyberpunk future has arrived, but the people in charge of the megacorps have been raised with the same stories we've heard, so they have a very woke face (and employ people that are probably, honestly woke) but they keep doing their shady poo poo on the side. So basically nothing changed.
:capitalism:

Also holy poo poo, I'm 99% sure recording your employees directly using surveillance cameras (or their laptops' webcams in this case) in a normal office environment is super turbo illegal in EU.

Ah yes, one of these. I used one in university and it was the most miserable house I ever lived in. Although in our case the toilet was on the ground floor just behind the kitchen. Which meant that sometimes I would be making lunch and have to hold my breath because a housemate decided that LUNCHTIME was the perfect time to clog the shitter with foul smelling turds.

You don't need two toilets, you need one toilet which doesn't ventilate into the kitchen

No the two toilets is so that there's one for peeing in if someone else is dropping chemical weapons in the other

It's $185k to register a new TLD and then $6250/year to maintain it.

I'd only have to sell just north of 1,500 domains at $15.99 a year and I'd have paid off the initial capital within 10 years and covered the maintenance cost, and after that I'd be making $17,000 a year of pure profit!


Assuming no running costs or advertising costs or registrar costs and that I actually have $185k in the first place lol

One of the team leaders at my work was trying to make the webcam thing happen last year and luckily he was shut down pretty quick

it was bizarre too that he would even suggest it because he spent 70% of his time having people show him how to use Excel and 30% googling music trivia on bands from the 60s and reading it out loud

Seems like the NEC is still deeply suspicious that something's going on in Enfield North.
Earlier in the year, they stopped CLP meetings and then delayed the start of the selection procedure to investigate nefarious goings-on, and now that the wards have declared their candidates and the Hustings need to be arranged, they're halting things again to investigate.

Given that the Tories have announced their candidate, it seems like bad timing to say the least.

If they've laid out the issues anywhere, I haven't seen it, but there have been a couple of newspaper articles suggesting that allegations have been made about how Turkish members have been voting (in a bloc, I suppose).
I seem to recall some of the complaints related to how Enfield Council ended up with a Turkish Leader (not Mayor).

When my company bought another company, one of the first things the CEO did was demand all the security cameras pointing at the employees were taken down, which was nice. I think they come as close as possible to fulfilling the whole "think of this company as one big family" thing (which is not very close because it's bollocks, but it could be much worse).

But I think by far the most beneficial cultural aspect is just letting people get on with their jobs and trusting people as adults. I feel like not doing that is responsible for a huge proportion of job-hating.
