Thread regarding Intel Corp. layoffs

I did some contract IT work for a law firm. They had me install spyware on all of their employee's work computers. It included a key logger and did a screen capture every 5 seconds. Of course they are spying on you and there is no legal expectation of privacy on your work-issued devices.

That's just the CCCP. Don't look at me, I didn't hire the traitor.

HR is desperately digging deep to find opportunities to terminate and layoff people to meet targets.

Just don't be stupid and get terminated with cause, as you won't get a golden layoff package.

Def Met leadership openly day trades on site on company time. They ain’t watching sh-t

The chief we-pons are surprise, and fear.

Wait, no it is Surprise, fear, and ruthless efficiency!

That's not quite it. It is Surprise, Fear, Ruthless efficiency, and an almost fanatical devotion to paranoia.

The complete list is Surprise, Fear, Ruthless efficiency, an almost fanatical devotion to paranoia, Machine G-ns (to enforce Moores Law).

Wait, what about the comfy chairs?

Oh yes, do include the comfy chairs, plus the Intel blue man uniforms..

Yeah … I am so scared being watched OP. F-c k u Intel . Don’t ever scare me by starring or watching at me again. Just look straight into my eyes and tell the truth.

@dp Correction. The laptop can be powered back on from any state, not just sleep mode.

#vProResistanceIsFutile

Oh noes, my employer actually expects me to the job I am being paid to do! And they are watching me to make sure I do it!

@d0 100% correct!

Now they've up the bar and are using this data in an attempt to determine how productive each employee is.

IT and HR is trying to justify their existence.

@aj
Well, if someone is d-mb enough to leave their laptop on at home, then they get what is coming. Intel is, no doubt, snooping local traffic for anything that can hurt them. Just remember, they can remotely turn them on if not completely powered off.

Only the paranoid being watched.

@ch those aren't quarters

@d0 Absolutely right-this shouldn't be news to anyone!

@c3 he competition that was down the hall is now down the street

Tbh if you dont think your badge ins, laptop location, vpn logins and computer use are not logged and tracked already and have been for years then you are a gullible id--t tbh. This should not be news at all

@cg There is something about hearing the sound of quarters dropping into a bin that I find really distracting when trying to focus on something in my cube.

The heavy breathing also kind of creeps me out.

I don't believe OP works in a peep show booth.

None of this is true. 100% false.

It’s only paranoia if it comes from Only The Paranoid Survive. Otherwise it’s just sparkling psychosis fueled distrust

This is true. The managers are starring at my pant. Be careful folks !!!

Not true. Fake news. The Def met leadership day trades onsite on company time.

Trust no one. <-period

Monitoring employees was a thing back when I was a sys admin 25-years ago, the practice has only gotten more intrusive.

The best approach is to not use company resources for anything other than work, and don't use your personal devices for work.

All companies can watch what you do while on site or using company devices. Everyone signed this waiver to allow Intel eyes into such regions of their life. If Intel reaches beyond that without some strong reason to justify, it’s just wrong and probably illegal.

Paranoia can significantly affect relationships and daily functioning. Individuals may struggle to trust others, leading to isolation and difficulties in forming close connections.

Intel is manufacturing for US military. All is being monitored.

All employees working on US government project have been through background check, before they are allowed to work. Their activity outside work and even their families are monitored, such as travel and work locations.

Not only the employees in Intel, but also their family members are being monitored. Intel is mainly manufacturing for US government, it is required that the employee must be US citizen. If any of their family members travel outside US, they will be monitored.

@ab ... wrong

Out of curiosity, exactly what does 100% monitored mean? 100% at work is assumed, or at least I would assume it. Are we talking about things beyond that?

paranoia is a mental disorder not a survival mechanism
