Elon Musk is hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons once again this week, after his HR team ordered the installation of employee monitoring tools on the work and personal devices of his xAI team.
It’s not gone down too well with the staff in question – shock! – who described the mandate as “surveillance disguised as productivity” and “manipulation masked as culture.”
On the bright side, the controversial CEO hasn’t yet gone as far as resorting to polygraph lie detector tests to assess employee loyalty (unlike the FBI, apparently).
On the other hand, ordering employees to install Hubstaff on their personal devices, a tool that tracks website visits, applications used, and mouse movements, is hardly a vote of confidence and trust.
