So this is from my ex-Super-Boss - And if you can spend some money, this could be it as great solution for work from home 🙂

I saw the video when it first came out. Which company was this?

ESW capital’s HR face - Crossover .. (Andy Tryba is it’s CEO ) .. a journalist interviewed him, it went viral on twitter and then he was asked to share this setup in detail, which this blog article details out

Ah. Btw is it true that crossover requires you to screen record (or snaps) yourself while working?

Yes, its totally regressive place to work ( for ICs ). I have detailed that out recently on replies/threads here at RI slack channels

I see. Screen time tracking is bad anyway. Often in development, the best work happens when you are not working. Or you get in flow and do a lot of work in few hours. So taking screen time as measure of productivity is cruel.

Screen Time, Screenshots each minute , each 10 mins being a timecard, 3 productivity measurments which includes keyboard logs, mouse logs and urls/application logs .. And then weekly metric of work delivery which often leads to shit like “manage more and more jira tickets for everything” .. It’s not at all good work, it’s rather support/maintenance work, that too in quite regressive way. And ya forgot - your webcam shots every minute or 10 minutes.

I see. My uncle was going to apply there. I told him to not do so because of this. I met someone else from RI who also said the same things.

good , your uncle saved a lot of frustration already 🙂
