1/ Australia: We need to start talking about the snide #negative commentary around people #workingfromhome - here is a couple of starters: in March 2020 businesses sent office workers home and those office workers set aside a part of their homes to help businesses stay open…
2/ we schooled our kids and worked weird and extra hours & thought up ways to stay connected. Along the way we found that when we #workfromhome our pets n kids n partners see more of us, we find time to exercise & cook & reduce the time & $ & stress wasted on commuting…
3/ some of us could see that in the future we would like to keep some of the week as #workfromhome into the future. Now it’s good to catch up in person. But what I notice increasingly in the media is #negative commentary. Worse still…
4/ #workingfromhome I recently saw a TV news item describing the myriad of ways our employers may be spying on us - keystroke loggers, stealthily using our laptop camera to film us & more. The expert on the news item breezily commented that the answer for us, the employees
5/ is to “ assume you’re being spied on because you probably are anyway”. I’m sorry but NO!! Unacceptable of employers to covertly surveil people #workingfromhome - there are a range of risks associated with an employer filming you in your home. That film is stored in the cloud.
6/ What if your child is in the image, especially if identifiable or even worse not clothed as kids do. It’s not legal to film minors and transmit the images so the employer could be breaking the law. At the very least they are not acting fairly to their employee.
7/ Employees did not ask to #workfromhome it was asked of us to help the country manage during the pandemic. GREAT WAY TO SAY THANKS employers if you now impose spying, suggest paycuts, or pressure your staff. Enough of that! #Discuss
