Issue #327
15 Jan 2023
Hard truth: remote working increases the surface area for candidate and employee fraud. I suspect the unstated reason behind a lot of the manager led calls to return to the office is motivated by the suspicion that workers aren’t working as much as they say they are. Now Satya Nadella certainly has a point that there is a great deal of ‘productivity paranoia’, but there is surely also a non-trivial degree of employee dishonesty. I wonder whether installation of bossware might be a future condition of WFH - would you accept it, if it were? H/T to brainfooder Colin McNicol for the share in the fb group
