Yesterday a coworker told me she can see on her computer where My Analytics is sent to HR. Hmmm..... now why would that be?
No letter. Just RIF’d. Replaced by India.
they claim that it's not used or seen by upper mgmt but I don't believe it. What it comes down to with RIF's is the money you claim to save nothing else, including what you bring in. This is not a growth company, it's a dying company scrambling to save what they can before being replaced by companies that have a growth mindset.
Being an HI employee these days is like living as a pawn in someone else’s shady get rich quick scheme.
When you sign on to a HON computer, you sign an acknowledgement that your activity is not private. Your exchange account is your HON email. The Opt Out is for receiving email notifications, not the program....
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they aren't out to get you!

Summary of key points
MyAnalytics is not designed to enable employee evaluation, tracking, automated decision-making, profiling, or monitoring. MyAnalytics provides insights to individuals through a personalized dashboard, a weekly email digest, an Insights Outlook add-in, and inline suggestions in Outlook. MyAnalytics has no mechanism or option that allows anyone but the user to access the personalized information that is displayed through these surfaces, unless that person purposefully and independently shares that information. Insights provided by MyAnalytics cannot be used for automated decision-making or for profiling.
MyAnalytics does not give employees access to new personally-identifiable information on other coworkers. MyAnalytics converts data into insights by performing calculations on information that people generate just by going about their work day. The majority of the data that employees see in MyAnalytics is simply an aggregation of information to which they already have access, but that they wouldn’t be able to quickly perform calculations on without some support.
MyAnalytics data is processed and stored in the employee’s Exchange Online mailbox. MyAnalytics processes data from these sources: Exchange Online email and calendar data, chat and call signals from Skype for Business and from Teams, and—if both the organization's IT administrator and an individual opt in—Windows 10 application activity history. MyAnalytics stores and processes this data inside each employee’s Exchange Online mailbox.
MyAnalytics supports General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) compliance. Microsoft has designed MyAnalytics to support customers’ needs to comply with GDPR requirements.
MyAnalytics can be configured so that individuals must purposefully opt in. By default, any time a license with the MyAnalytics service is assigned to a person, that person is automatically opted in. However, administrators can configure MyAnalytics to be "default off," so that people can choose for themselves whether to opt in after being assigned a license.
MyAnalytics reminds people that their data is private and secure. A few days after a license with the MyAnalytics service is assigned to a person, that person receives a welcome email that clearly lays out how MyAnalytics works, with a reminder that all of their data is private. The other MyAnalytics user interfaces, such as the weekly email digest and personal dashboard, reinforce this message.

I've read that.... my question is, how is Hon using it? Are they using to measure productivity and tool to determine who gets cut?
I’ll run a productivity macro that will get me to the top of the productivity metrics.
