    “I’ve spent my time helping this company extract data from everyone else why are they coming for mine?”

    It’s so exhausting how stupid people are.

      Right? I’m laughing how they expect me to sympathize with them.

            Are you seriously comparing software engineers to members of a state sponsored terrorist police?

      Not stupid. Just self-centered.

      Also maybe a little stupid.

    I worked in IT 10 years ago, everything was tracked, idk what the big deal is, company owned equipment with company owned security/audit logging software, quite standard. Only difference is they will try to train AI with really wasteful keystroke/mouse tracking now??? no big deal.

      I have worked in IT for 15 years, and no - the level of surveillance is not the same everywhere.

          Probably in some, not all companies. Depends on who you have worked for
