What's Your Work Fit?

Is My Boss Spying on Me?


Listen Later

On What’s Your Work Fit we ask a jarring question posed by several of our viewers: is my boss spying on me?

This week, workplace diversity, equity and inclusion expert Dr. Betty Johnsonanswers this and other work and career questions.

“The home was formerly a sanctuary, the place where you could take a breath, drop the mask (the mask of performance), ” laments Dr. Johnson.

With so many workplaces adopting a hybrid work policy, more workers are feeling intruded upon. What is more, many now feel pressure to perform after hours at home.

In this episode, Dr. Johnson answers:

  • Is my boss spying on me.
  • What channels are companies using to surveil their talent?
  • What is allowable versus disallowable intrusion?
  • Are bosses using “find my device apps” to watch me?
  • Is there transparency around the expectations of remote workplace presence?
  • Dr. Johnson adds: “Is this a culture of transparency? Or is this a culture where we don’t trust each other, where we do everything that we can to maximize our own self-interest?”

    She believes that as transparency wanes, we in the workplace lose trust in each other.
