They're determined for the South Australian government not to follow the federal government in uncapping WFH.
Once Rucci became chief footy writer, it was all down hillThe fish wrapper has always been like that. Terrible publication.
How is this different to the IT department making sure employees don't access sites they shouldn't whilst at work?'Bossware' is another issue, but in my view the more an employer relies on spying on its employees, the worse the culture is.

It's a question of degree. I don't give a damn if everything I do on work systems is recorded, but if I expect that it's monitored often and someone's going to bother micromanaging how I spend every minute, they can get stuffed.How is this different to the IT department making sure employees don't access sites they shouldn't whilst at work?
In my view if workers are worried about being monitored (which realistically should happen in every workplace) then they probably should be monitored.
Depends on the job, many can't hire from os anyway from regulatory reasons.Would you rather compete for a smaller pool of jobs against locals only, or a much larger pool of jobs against candidates from all over the globe?
I went into the office this week.
I need 6 months to recover.
the latter means you are able to work for anyone all over the globe too, not just what is local. So it actually adds stability to yoru career if its niche and there aren't a lot of players.Would you rather compete for a smaller pool of jobs against locals only, or a much larger pool of jobs against candidates from all over the globe?
I'm lucky, there is no real reason for me to ever go into the office, other than other people 'liking' to see me in.A full 5 days seems daunting.
I like wfh with my set up everything I need to work solo ‘to hand’ I go into an office and usually forget a mouse or a cable.
I also like hybrid on ‘team days’ when the people I need to interact with are ‘to hand’ not on teams.
Sophisticated? A key logger? Where do I sign?
Within the last 5 or so years, I've worked a job as a cleaner in a mall and a service station attendant at a petrol station.
In the former, I was required to carry a tracker which pinged off buoys at locations around the centre, with the tracker informing me if I've stayed in a single location for too long. In theory, I was to receive please explains for staying in one place for too long; in practice, imagine the sheer number of please explains that would need to be issued across multiple workplaces a contract cleaning company across multiple sites would require as far as paying someone to monitor and check the surveillance logs and footage and check each employee's reasons for not leaving a single location for a while.
In the latter, the petrol station had 4 cameras in the public sections of the station and 12 behind the counter; 3 immediately above the cash registers, 4 looking at the face of the attendant at whatever register, and multiple scattered within the private parts of the site where only employees were allowed. I worked nights and I frequently received phone calls asking me why I was standing behind the console and not restocking shelves (most of the time, my answer was if you check the cameras on the forecourt you'll see people out there and I have to watch them) or asking me to restock a particular item my manager could see on cameras needed refilling. There were more cameras watching me than members of the public.
It's why listening to the media bitching about surveillance or whistleblower protection or the rights of media to privacy have always rung hollow to me: where the * were you when my boss decided that I was more likely to steal from them than a customer was? Where the * were you when the government decided putting a GPS in my pocket was an acceptable thing for my boss to do, when my boss decided an app needed to be installed on my phone which checked my location when I checked on to make sure I was onsite?
Where were you when the right to privacy died, and why are you only now complaining over a corpse you helped to murder?
