The notifications are constant. The pings ring in your ears, leaving a nasty echo.

And then there's the spying.

When the pandemic struck, companies worried that they couldn't observe their employees in the way they used to. They couldn't loom over them, see how long they took for lunch -- or a bathroom break.

It's frustrating being a boss and not having total control. You're supposed to have it, right? You're the boss.

Sprightly tech companies came along to offer what these bosses truly needed -- spying software that could remotely track their employees' every single keystroke and body movement.

Why, one tech company insisted it could offer bosses a productivity number for every employee.

Joyously, now that many are (reluctantly) returning to the office, those same bosses are often extending the surveillance software there. 

Because it makes bosses feel warm all over. And of course, because it's a wonderfully cost-effective way to force employees into ever-higher levels of productivity.
