Don't forget the agents they install that take screenshots every 10 seconds!

Nothing to screenshot if all of my personal stuff is on a completely different pc

That doesn't mean someone isn't going to pull those up to reprimand you, or monitor your work.

There's privacy from personal things, then there's overbearing micro management who will literally track "Mouse hovering" and "Keyboard Idle Time" or how long you take to write an email.

Amingst the other creative ways they can try to keep you at a level "non promotable" status or whatever leverage to control you.

I've never had to suffer from it, I do my job, but as a systems admin/engineer for over 15 years, I've definitely worked at places that implemented it at our expense, or we had to set it up for our clients using it against their own staff.
