How much do you think we paid for that?

You can’t shut off this one from task manager. It automatically respawns as soon as you try.
Perhaps the Company can ask employees whether they want to opt out. Those who opt out and later get an RSI injury can be put on unpaid leave until cleared to return to work.
@dj that’s the problem. There shouldn’t be 5 managers looking over your shoulder to ensure compliance: either that’s not happening and it’s an exaggeration or it’s happening to you and should be fixed.
The RSI guard is a symptom of the broader issue: We really don't need five managers looking over each worker bee's shoulder to ensure compliance with each new passive-aggressive micromanagement directive. Clear the path so that we can get some work completed!
@c9: I am not a cyborg. I am perfectly able to take a break and stretch as I need to on my own schedule.
@bk previous version already counted key strokes, mouse movement, time on computer, etc. Most users never accessed their data to view it but it was always there.
People, take the breaks! It's good for your back, legs, upper body, etc. Touching the ground is actually very nice to stretch the back. I love this one.
I know a guy in security who told me the new RSI guard is collecting information on your work from home time and keystrokes. Better stay vigilant about your time on line....
What a waste of money and time!
It’s the same as the old version, just updated look. Same features. Same breaks. Looks a little different but that’s it. Stop trying to make something out of nothing.
You can end the program in task master. I haven’t taken a workspace break in almost a decade.
What’s RSI? Repeating Sh.tie Initiatives?
With the demise of DEI programs, we might also revisit these "fake" safety initiatives. For example, having everyone in an office fill out BBS reports every week, even when no issues were observed, and then having no clear mechanism to identify and address real issues when they are identified. The same goes for RSI software: it's a great idea to have it available as an option, but it's totally stupid to enforce its use with religious zeal. What could be stupider than having hundreds of people watch a work pace break at a major meeting, even when the speakers are rotating on and off the computer every few minutes? If we have to go through yet another reorg (and it appears we do), then why not this time throw all the MBA consultants and HR fan girls out of the room and focus on better ways to get our work done?
