If you’ve ever thought of building something as big as the Komando Media Empire, you must know that teamwork and collaboration are key. That’s why we’re all three days a week (at least) in the broadcast center. I would never implement what TikTok is doing with RTO (return to office) policies.
Newsflash from The New York Times: TikTok’s not just peeking at where you’re dancing anymore. Enter MyRTO, TikTok’s fresh-out-the-box tool that’s on overwatch and must be on every employee’s personal phone.
Swiper no swiping
Employees swipe a badge to get in or out? MyRTO’s noting it. Someone’s supposed to be at the office and they’re sitting at home? Expect a “Hey, where were you?” ping. TikTok is now rolling out this in-house watchdog to bring “crystal clarity” (their words, not mine) about attendance expectations.
You have to wonder, since the TikTok app on a user’s phone tracks their location, personal data, biometrics and more, it probably does the same to its employees, too.
Here’s the trend: Bosses everywhere are going nuts for these watchful widgets. Remote? They’re counting your online minutes and even snapping your screen occasionally. At the office? Sensors might just be timing your bathroom breaks.
Are you being watched by your employer?
If it feels like Big Brother is watching you work, it’s because he probably is. Today’s employee monitoring systems are getting fancier by the day, but are they legal? The short answer (unfortunately) is yes. However, employees do have rights.
