Some companies use #video #surveillance and have it analyzed by #AI. This gives you automated reports on the #performance of your #employees. At least the performance that the AI can record. Of course, this creates the exact opposite of what AI should be. Instead of relieving the burden on people, they become the new #slaves of a surveillance #technology. A dystopian scenario straight out of an #Orwell novel.

#Dell to color-code #staff based on how hybrid they really are in RTO push

source: https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/08/dell_return_office/

Starting next Monday, May 13, the enterprise #hardware slinger plans to make weekly site visit data from its badge #tracking available to #employees through the corporation's human capital #management #software and to give them color-coded ratings that summarize their #status. Those #ratings are:

Blue flag indicates "consistent onsite presence"
Green flag indicates "regular onsite presence"
Yellow flag indicates "some onsite presence"
Red flag indicates "limited onsite presence"

They rate their employees according to attendance and not performance. Can you really be that silly?

The BBC has been given photos of Twitter #office space that has been converted into bedrooms, which #SanFrancisco authorities are probing as a possible building code violation.

I can't imagine that anyone would want to #work there under these conditions. Probably the only #employees left are those whose visas are tied to the #job and who therefore can't quit. The solution would be so simple if employees were allowed to work from #home, but the great #Musk doesn't want that.

Elon Musk turns Twitter into 'hotel' for staff

#Zatko's complaint, which was submitted to US authorities in July, indicated that the US government had provided Twitter with specific information that at least one of its #employees, perhaps more, may be working for a foreign #intelligence agency, but it did not specify which countries the agents were allegedly working for.

Twitter whistleblower alleges at least one Chinese spy is at the company

Twitter's former security chief said he informed an executive of the threat and was told "What does it matter if we have more [foreign agents]?"

#Money is the omnipresent #incentive

in every pore of the #system. And there has never been more of it, roaring for returns.

If this is not addressed, every initiative is like a leaf trying to float up the Amazon River.

There are initiatives to turn this off, for example by abolishing all fiat money and replacing it with (electronic) central bank money, which, because of the enormous concentration of #power, will probably lead the world into almost complete #slavery.

The best way (also for democracy) would probably be #decentralisation or #sharing of everything, which probably only works if systems rot themselves from within.

The most beautiful form of resistance is probably to change personal circumstances in such a way that one can work less.

#Change happens less through communication and more through joyful example.

Maybe it's already #happening. Where I live, a lot of companies can't find #employees even though the #economy isn't doing so well.

#SpaceX #employees draft open letter to #company executives denouncing Elon #Musk’s #behavior

Source: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/16/23170228/spacex-elon-musk-internal-open-letter-behavior

The letter comes nearly a month after a report from Insider alleged that SpaceX paid a former company flight attendant a $250,000 settlement after she accused Musk of exposing himself to her and propositioning her during a massage, an allegation that involved Musk offering to buy her a horse. Musk denied the allegations, telling Insider there is “a lot more to this story.”

...

SpaceX’s current systems and culture do not live up to its stated values, as many employees continue to experience unequal enforcement of our oft-repeated “No #Asshole” and “Zero #Tolerance” policies.

Workers need breaks to allow their internal nutrients—especially those that spark creativity and innovation—to recuperate.

No shit Sherlock?

Just like a field of soybeans, workers need breaks to allow their internal nutrients—especially those that spark creativity and innovation—to recuperate.

And for tomorrow, Microsoft converts its #employees into Soylent Green.** D:

How Do You Rank Skill

One of the classic attacks on quotas or affirmative action to benefit disadvantaged groups is the claim that by hiring a women or person of color a company is getting lesser talent and is worse off…

#Google Had Secret #Project to ‘Convince’ #Employees ‘That #Unions Suck’

Google’s director of #employment #law, Michael Pfyl, described Project #Vivian as an initiative “to engage employees more positively and convince them that unions suck.”

I think with too much #power and #wealth, the words: "Don't be #evil!" lose their meaning and are interpreted in the opposite way.
