Key is to do so anonymously and only when the company has given notice that reductions are going to happen, and never to my direct manager.
Depending on the violation, I've also contacted Legal and sometimes IT Security.
Then watch the bodies hit the floor.
Remember, there is no 'I' in Team, but there is one in Intel.
Oh, I've got an A/R now.
@a2 VPN randomizes your IP address.
I supposed it can somehow still be tracked but not sure anyone at Intel would bother to do that.
Any harassment and bullying, etc.
@af True at Intel too.
Just be faster than the kids.
Worked as a fab maggot at Intel for >20 years. Went thru at least 6 rounds of layoffs. The key to continued employment seemed to be continued and increasing productivity. The behaviors enumerated above (dropping dimes; bursts of efficiency; diminished slacking; etc) did not fool many. In my own little slice of Intel, those selected were usually not missed.
Intel, however, uses too many happy euphemisms for getting fired. Call it what it is.
Cameras have had AI analysis for some time now and those sleeping in their cars or otherwise not on site during working hours are known.
A bit late at this point, so no need to correct your behavior.
Good riddance to bad rubbish and see how your next company feels about those who shirk their duties.
The cameras are doing facial recognition as you enter and leave.
The badge is just part of it.
The RFID tag in your badge tracks you throughout the facility.
You can choose to believe it or not, but Intel was actually doing all this before it became popular at Amazon and other tech companies. Intel was doing it to catch people who were stealing or otherwise needed to be watched.
They added AI to these systems, which used to just be recorded and lightly monitored.
Amazon is now showing all the other companies what the new AI workplace will be, so read up on how that is going because if you are working at all, it will be in that environment.
May get to a point where you never meet your human manager, kind of like how it is for amazon drivers and warehouse workers now. They work for an app, and the app is paying close attention to what they are doing at all times.
@ae It's like encountering a bear in the woods.
You don't have to be the fastest person.
You just have to be faster than your kids.
Reporting your coworkers anonymously . You would have made a great Na-i
HR won't ever tell you that you were selected due to badge scans, keystroke monitoring or anything else, unless you've been so slacking that you are individually selected.
Nope, what will happen is you end up on the list and you are gone. No particular reason provided.
People think the are getting away with various shenanigans, but they are simply being handed the rope to hang themselves.
@a6 I'm the OP and the post seems to have gone in a different direction.
I would never report someone to my manager because that could create a bias against me.
When I say anonymous, I mean that I don't set up meetings or have phone conversations. Sure they could track my IP but most of the sites I use have reporting tools which claim they are not tracking the user, so I use those.
Been doing this for several decades and no one has ever contacted me, yet I've seen many, many co-workers get ISP who were the ones I reported.
The other posters are correct, HR is mostly interested when there are terminations happening. Legal and Security are always going to look into the complaint.
Not like I'm reporting vast numbers of people. The 5% know who they are and what they have done. Intel is better off without them.
@a9 That is simply not true. HR is not looking and anyone who hasn't been on site for several years can attest to that.
So can the fab shifts who set up their tools and go out to lunch, or idle in the cafe all day.
PCs are monitored and the camera surveillance has been enhanced but it is only when the company is actively removing people that HR gets active in that effort, and even then it is mostly to go after those who are already on the way out.
IT is always looking for IP leaks, but HR is not doing much of anything unless someone is reported.
@a7 It is not firewalled at all sites.
@a8 you don’t work here. THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR POLICY VIOLATIONS. You’re a clown. You’re absolutely a clown if you think HR won’t do something about someone not following the rules.
@a3 Most of the time HR is not looking for policy violations unless someone says something, and even then might choose to not do anything about it.
The key to effective reporting is to wait till the company is doing layoffs, because HR in particular has a mandate during termination season to add to the pile.
They even partner with IT InfoSec to review computer usage of each person who has been put on CPM, going back a period of time prior to the notification.
The only difference that makes is the worker loses their package, so think about that for a bit.
@a5 this website is firewalled and inaccessible at work. Makes me think you don’t actually work here like the vast majority of these comments.
Um, if you are anonymous (like IF that was truly a thing) how does this help? Real question.
@a1 Send them links from this site, or any other internet abuse. That's the one they seem to like even more than reporting stolen bananas.
Obviously, sleeping in the car or otherwise not working during their shift is an easy win.
If the company wanted 2/3 of each shift to be out of the fab at any given time, they would tell you to do that.
You sound nice
Source: I’m an upper level manager. You think we can’t put two and two together that certain groups are always getting “anonymous” complaints except one specific manager and one specific team?
You do not have a right to privacy anywhere at work except a bathroom stall, prayer room, or br---t pump booth. It’s hilarious you think otherwise. Every exterior door has signage clearly stating we use facial recognition for security and compliance issues. You think ANYTHING you do is anonymous? HA.
And how did you do this anonymously? While logged in? 🤣
What examples of violations do you suggest?
