Thank you for your reply! Hm, it's interesting, but it's not like Panopticon because you can't even see anybody if you are not in the app:) So to see someone - you must show up!)
This is no different than how "Crossover for Work" is run. They take snapshots of your screens, record video to check if you are in front of your computer, checks productivity based ok keystrokes. While entirely legal, highly unethical
Do you really not understand that software influences people's expectations of what's normal? You're normalizing the idea that everyone should be always available by conflating "attendance in the app" with "working"
There are creative professions, including developers and software architects, who do not do routine work, but come up with ways to solve complex problems. Of course, there is no point in measuring such work in hours spent at the computer, because the solution can come on its own, at any moment.
At the same time, there are IT specialists in poor countries who cannot relocate, but want to find decent remote work, and the factor of distrust in them forces companies to refuse them.
In addition to qualified personnel, there is also low-skilled labor as the first line of customer support, where it is important to stay at the workplace strictly at the computer at strictly defined hours
