Do what you want, but please stop posting jobs as remote unless you actually want to hire remote. I am applying for the posted remote job. I am open that I intend to work remote. Why the fuck am I getting an HR person on a phone screen telling me they really want people in the office??
Stop posting remote. You don’t want me and I don’t want you. We don’t need to talk!
They know they won’t get good applicants if they don’t.
When I was going through a job hunt last year, I encountered a few of these. I either reported them on the job listing sites, typically as misleading, or told my recruiter.
I doubt anything came of it, but its what we still need to do when they pull this shit.
sources of data such as IP address information transmitted via Wi-Fi, ceiling-mounted heat sensors and weight-triggered sensors attached to chairs that can track workplace occupancy levels, executives and technology providers say.
Sorry americans, but your executives are getting paranoid.
What a lovely place, I wonder if they’re hiring?
“VALMOND! Your butt to non-butt is only at 87%!! You’re also colder than your colleagues!”
Getting your raise denied because the bald person next to you has a higher head temp average
Always have been.
Don’t resist. Leave. Tell employers that are hostile to remote workers that you can find work elsewhere.
Resist while you leave. Best of both worlds.
Resistance is futile. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)
Absolutely ridiculous and serves nothing but to make the CEOs feel better.
Sounds like it’s time for some malicious compliance.
next up: office workers swipe in to the office for an hour a day
I swipe in 10am, leave 2pm. Twice a week. Commute time 1 hour each way, so 2 of my 6 hours are totally wasted.
Or one person swipes for his buddies.
From the logs, these guys are really in sync.
In school, when you sign the sign-in sheet with your handwriting, then with your other hand in order to cover for your buddy.
Keyme kiosks will not only copy keys, but can copy rfid badges. Tap your badge, pay your $20, and they will give you a key shaped clone that 100% works with most badge scanners.
Just some interesting information for anyone reading.
www.vergesense.com is one such company that we use at my work as well as badge data and logs for laptops connecting to corporate wifi. All of these data points can be extrapolated to determine if someone has been in office or not.
There’s a running joke of “well I got my one swipe in today, I’m going home” which seems to be common for every office I visit.
Just plan on quitting. They don't want you & other companies that aren't tied to commercial real estate do. I'm so happy my employer is in the latter category.
Hack the reader. Install a device that clocks you in and out automatically or remotely. There have been a few defcon talks on how insecure these systems are.
Every company I’ve ever worked for has had a clause in the Employee Handbook saying any attempt to circumvent a company system is a fire-able offense. Doesn’t matter if the company-wide firewall uses admin/admin as the user credentials. You get caught tinkering with it, you are out the door with cause.
Ok
Let the paying for badge swipes begin. If I pay someone to swipe my badge in and out everyday the metrics will be skewed.

The fact that they have to resort to checking logs to determine who is coming into the office should be enough proof of how pointless working from the office is.
If you literally can’t tell without a literal in/out log, you can’t claim performance or communication as reasons for requiring it. You’re literally saying “we can only tell if we check the logs.”

Depends who “they” are. Middle managers can tell who comes in and who is performing, but most of them don’t care or want to work remotely too. Executives who can approve a program like this are the ones pushing return to office.
