RE: The Elevator Race to the Bottom

in LeoFinance3 years ago

My brother worked for Blackrock and left them recently. Their work from home had a timer on the keyboard so if you didn't move your mouse or click the keys you were timed out after a 5 minute interval going into warning level after 3. So many log ins per month meant you would receive warnings for time outs. He is a lawyer and doing legal documents means you need to think and be on your game not worrying about being timed out. He told them to shove it as it was not worth the paycheck even though it probably was for most of us. He started work again today without timers for an Irish company.
Find it strange that something that wouldn't take much funding gets scrapped over something like Covid which has been a total balls up from day one.

Lol - I saw a very clever @meesterboom trick for this. Put the mouse over an analogue watch with a second hand :D

It is a pity about the funding, as they seemed to be doing a decent job and I think the work was important.
