If you work from home we want to spy on you

Employers who a miffed that home working staff will not be coming in to attend their time wasting meetings are apparently insisting on spying on their employees at home.

Colombia-based call centre workers who provide outsourced customer service to some of the nation's largest companies are being pressured to sign a contract that lets their employer install cameras in their homes to monitor work performance.

According to an NBC News investigation, six workers based in Colombia for Teleperformance, one of the world's largest call centre companies, which counts Apple, Amazon and Uber among its clients, said that they are concerned about the new contract, first issued in March.

The contract allows monitoring by AI-powered cameras in workers' homes, voice analytics and storage of data collected from the worker's family members, including minors.
