Employees were asked to install surveillance "overnight": Snap shots once every 5 minutes until "don't dare to go to the toilet" sparked heated discussions

"The post-80s and post-90s have been tossing around. After the 00s, come on, the task of saving the workplace is left to you"...

Recently, the joke about "post-00s rectifying the workplace" has been circulating on social media, which has attracted many old workplace people for a while, and some netizens shouted that "the workplace needs 00 and saved it later", "00" Hurry up and join the job afterwards" "After 00, join the anti-involution as soon as possible..."

As we all know, affected by the epidemic, many companies have now started the remote working mode. For those who are used to working in an office environment for a long time, it may be a little unaccustomed; but for young people in the new era who dare to "reasonably fish" Yes 00 Later, I said that telecommuting (reasonable fishing) is indeed a good model.

Of course, the accompanying problem is that many business owners have begun to study the problem of "how to ensure that employees work from home and work normally without catching fish".

No, a few days ago, there was a news about Suntech's "mandatory home office employees to link and install monitoring software, snap a picture every 5 minutes, not enough 89 times to count as absenteeism, dare not go to the toilet..." aroused heated discussion among netizens.

It is reported that this news was released by someone on social media, in which it complained that "Suntech requires employees in Chaoyang District to work from home, and requires employees to install computer monitoring software overnight, and they must automatically take screenshots every 5 minutes, and daily screenshots are not enough. 89 counts as absenteeism.”

The whistleblower said that because the company's regulations are too "harsh" and faces must be captured every 5 minutes, the incident is too tense, so they dare not go to the toilet during work.

Coincidentally, we also found on Weibo that many bloggers have posted about the incident: Some people say that the monitoring software that Suntech requires employees to install only supports Windows systems and is not compatible with Apple computers. Employees who use Apple computers It is also necessary to install a virtual machine to facilitate the company's monitoring.

In response to this incident, Suntech has previously responded: "In order to ensure the work efficiency of employees, the company has adopted emergency management measures for working from home during the epidemic, and with employees' informed consent, employees will install software to work. During the time, the software will randomly check the working status of employees. For employees’ personal time such as meal breaks, it does not belong to working hours, so no random checks will be made.”

Although Suntech said the telecommuting measure is currently in a trial phase in the hope of finding a better balance after collecting employee feedback, it may have left a period of "unbeautiful" for employees. remember.

In this regard, the views in the comments of some netizens also stand in different camps.

The party who supports employees after 00 said:

"The boss should experience it first..."
"Why should I install it, why should I use a virtual machine? Why should I use my own computer if I don't pay depreciation fees for my own computer. My house has no network cable, why should I install broadband..."
"It's time to go to the toilet with the equipment..."
"Abusing technology, companies lack trust in their employees..."
"How much salary this month would make me willing to wear diapers to work..."

......

The party supporting the business stated:

"Those who make trouble with the company may be used to working in the company... Is there self-discipline in the home office mode?"
"Take the company's salary and complain about the company on the Internet... Where can such an employee go?"
"In the final analysis, this is still a human problem. People who complain about the company should reflect on themselves..."
......

In view of the fact that this incident has been on the hot search entry on Weibo, it has also attracted the attention of many legal experts. In previous media reports, we have seen that legal professionals have given professional opinions on this: the company has the right to manage the working status of employees during home office hours, but the management cannot cross the line.

Indeed, in the context of the epidemic, a flexible office model is both a reasonable arrangement and a "helpless move". The high efficiency of working from home depends on the company's trust in employees and the self-awareness and self-discipline of employees themselves.

Therefore, a reasonable and reasonable performance management method may be the workplace criterion for balancing the relationship between employees and the company. If it really doesn't work, then you may be forced to feel the cordial greetings from the "post-00s rectifying the workplace", what do you think?
