'Big brother' | Homeworkers reject monitoring software

Remote workers have spoken out regards 'big brother' monitoring software, with the majority sharing that they would not choose a job where their employer used software to track their work.

According to a new study by Skillcast, 59% of respondents did not want to work for any company trying to use software that could spy on them, reported the Standard.

Only one-third of those surveyed stated that it was acceptable if used to comply with regulations.

Despite this, many workers shared feelings of mistrust for their employers, with eight per cent saying that they think they are being monitored by such software without being told about it.
