Many companies monitor employee activity to boost productivity, but is this really justified? While some argue it ensures accountability, others see it as a serious invasion of privacy. Where should we draw the line between oversight and trust?

It’s a lazy way to manage employees, in my opinion. I can trust an employee based on seeing that they are getting work done. The output and results should speak for themselves. Mouse movement and little green activity lights are just ways to make employees feel mistrust and game the system.

Absolutely agree. If you can't trust employees then why allow home working. I've also worked somewhere where on Saturday's you'd work in a pair and there was a camera in the office and then on a Monday management would watch through it and moan about everything you did. I used to dread Mondays.

I agree above, it is a lazy way to manage employees. Their work morale will say a lot about what they think of their job and their effort they put in.

Its so nit picky. One of the benefits of working in an office is that you an have a chat, make a drink, as long as the work gets done.
