Notice how this doesn’t even have anything to do with productivity. These people were fired purely for having the gall to not respect office hours regardless of the completion of tasks.
Solution: work
Very
Slowly
Yeah. That’s the problem. It doesn’t seem to be that they didn’t do the work, it’s that they did other stuff too.
No, I would like to actually have time in my life not send it being a sloth slave.
you can have time in between being a sloth slave throughout your work day, if thats how these fucks will force us to be.
They don’t force shit we accept it by not forcing back.
amen
Lack of workers rights, as usual. In (most of) Europe those monitoring systems are illegal, as it should be.
Lololol what? Utilizing down time? You’ve made that up. They were lying about working.
This is pure fuck around and find out. These fuck faces are ruining WFH for everyone.
The article doesn’t say anything about productivity or targets. They got as much done as someone who manually wiggles the mouse while thinking instead of going for a walk while thinking.
Well Fargo fired people for working a second job ON COMPANY TIME, USING COMPANY RESOURCES AND COMPUTERS.
THIS IS FRAUD.
They abso-fucking-lutely deserved this. Don’t get behind this story and act like it’s employers being shitty when it was employees faking working their main job using mouse/keyboard idlers to work a second job during time they were being paid by the first job for, using resources provided by the first job.
Work 2 jobs separately? Big whoop. Being paid for your time to do a job and you do a completely different job in that time using your employers resources? Hell, be glad they didn’t sue you.
Get behind real issues, not this. This just makes you look like the reddit anti work mod who got interviewed and complained that they couldn’t support themselves as a dog walker for 2 hours a week. It makes YOU look unreasonable.
I reread the article again. I did see anything mentioned about employees working 2nd jobs on company time, nor was it among the reasons they were fired.
This is like the 3rd version of the article at this point. It’s mentioned in other articles. What is mentioned in this one is they used devices to pretend to be active during times they were expected to be. You know, fraud.
it literally says they were fired for using a mouse jiggler.
However, I live in a so-called right-to-work state, which means my employer can do whatever the fuck they like - but the flip side is - so can I.
The contract I signed doesn’t mention which or how many hours I work, just that I don’t disclose privileged information to competitors.
Lmao that’s not how “right to work” works. That’s how having a contract works lmao
You are correct that in our current capitalist system, the employees were in the wrong.
The problem is the capitalist system itself is wrong.
The Antiwork community is here to as a counter culture to the capitalist/corporate culture that has become so ingrained in our society at large. The idea that a person is forced to stay at work for their entire shift, even during times where there is no work to be done, is a problem. That is essentially where the term “wage slave” comes from, because while we are on the clock we lose our freedom to do what we want with our time.
Then get behind the people doing 4 WFH jobs. Use GOOD examples to further this idea. Not people blatantly perpetrating fraud and acting like they’re heros. We need strong cases, not ones easily broken down and dismissed. This case is too easily in favor of the employers. Is capitalism shit? Sure. But you’re literal job is to be available during those hours. Hiding the fact that you’re doing another job using company time and resources, is fraud, plain and simple. If you didn’t think it was fraud, would you have hidden it?
