It’s tracked using various data sources:

  • first Pings to COU + connection to WiFi/Lan and Badge swipe
  • last ping to COU and/or ping to WiFi/LAN.

Found out today if you use a temporary badge to get in the building your start time will be logged 3+ hours later than when you actually got in. So looks like network time isn’t collecting until 11 am. Have multiple examples of this on my team.

My org is obsessed with this collaboration stuff and doesn’t care about keystrokes. They want us away from our desk talking to peo—-/ I mean collaborating.

How long your PC is on the network, badge in's at locations that have badged access and I am hearing that if you have a company provided cell phone (COU), what cell site your cell is pinging from. Being treated like school kids, I am too old and a profession al to be treated this way. AT&T should be totally ashamed of how they are treating employees.

But, at the end of the day, they want you to resign and leave.

Please do not leave your laptops on at work. It’s a matter of time before that triggers them to check idle time and that will mess it up for everyone

Camera, LAN connectivity, and badge swipes. I have also heard there are floor monitors that detect your at your desk (work station) or not.

They have no way to monitor your presence. They are bluffing. Leave you laptop connected to the lan and keave for the day and you will be fine.

“Maybe they aren't using it for purposes of rto but T has had software that monitored keystrokes for years now. It shows idle time, time spent in which apps, etc.”

Go to deskside service app to see what apps were installed on your laptop.
They pushed call center software to employees. The software includes screen recording, IR camera spying through the cover, document tracking inside and outside the network, and more. Screen recording monitors all employees simultaneously in a thumbnail grid. When a screen image is has no movement, that grid is highlighted with a red box around it. At any time any box can be clicked on to visually see what you are doing and what is displayed on the screen.

It's swiping in, plus network pings every15 minutes. The presence reports are viewable, so folks can verify. Funnily enough, if you leave your laptop plugged into the network and on when you leave for the day, they can't figure out how many hours you are actually there, as the network keeps pinging the laptop. Mine was showing 12 hours a day, 7 days a week until they asked me to start taking it home / turning it off.

I suspect they can tell your not doing your job well then they start to use their tools to look at you specifically. If your a low mid worker then be in office.
