I think it’s actually less common, as it actually doesn’t increase security for the company, and it decreases personal security.

It really is just babysitting software, and a sign that management has a culture built on distrust.

What’s funny is that when I work from home, I’m less likely to visit non-work websites

Use work computer for work and then your personal laptop for surfing and Netflix

I’m glad my company isn’t using the WFH thing to push things like that onto us

In our case I think it’s based more in paranoia than distrust. We’re a huge company that operates all around the world

As a manager it’s pretty easy to tell when employees aren’t working

Exactly. That's probably because you are organized with clear objectives

Is there a way to detect if these have already been installed? Does the company need to notify?

Depending on the state you work in, they may need to notify

Using ‘Snipping Tool’ because $30 Snag-It is too expensive?

Problem solved by having a work pc and a desktop.

Except they're also tracking inactivity
