@a1 The JPMorgan Case — Foundry’s Predecessor in Action:
The clearest documented case of employee surveillance using Palantir technology involves its predecessor platform, Metropolis. JPMorgan used Palantir’s Metropolis to monitor employee communications and alert an insider threat team when employees showed signs of potential disgruntlement. The system drew on emails, download activity, browser histories, GPS locations from company smartphones, and transcripts of recorded phone calls — aggregating and analyzing this data for specific keywords, phrases, and behavioral patterns. Palantir Metropolis was later succeeded by Palantir Foundry.

The OP’s argument is that AT&T didn’t just stumble onto AI recently. They’ve been laying the groundwork for years. What started as simple “presence monitoring” — tracking whether employees were active, available, or logged in — has quietly evolved into something far more sophisticated.
If you look at recent reporting about Meta using internal employee data to train its AI systems, you can see the broader pattern. Companies aren’t only collecting metadata like login times anymore. They’re gathering behavioral signals: keystrokes, workflow patterns, response times, and other digital traces of how people work.
The concern is that this data, originally justified as productivity monitoring, is now being repurposed to train AI agents. In other words, the same surveillance infrastructure built to watch employees is becoming the training pipeline for automated systems that may eventually replace or manage them.
OP, please restate in English (American) what you are trying to say; your post doesn't make sense. "Technologies and has been collaborating with them for over five years To spy on employees".
They must have a real disdain for their employees. No wonder why the majority of employees have stopped trying and just do not seem to care anymore. I see it every day with folks late for meetings, not joining calls and or not contributing to discussions as they are zombie like.

@cm No one said it is illegal, with that being said, it does speak volumes on how a company views and treats their employees. Over the top surveillance by a company, is rooted in distrust. What type of “culture” do you foster when you monitor all employees to such extremes?
Cameras are used every where in the USA for security purposes. Nothing illegal unless they are set up in rest rooms.
They installed numerous cameras in the new Bedminster building shortly after AT&T moved in. They were placed at all exterior doors as well by stairwell entrance/exits. Big brother has been watching and monitoring your every move for quite some time. This is in addition to the other monitoring of such as badge swipes, LAN connection and “productivity” data. What a “great place to work”!
Is this fact or speculation? I smell class action
Yes, explain further....
In late 2025 and early 2026, reports surfaced regarding AT&T's use of surveillance systems and its partnership with Palantir Technologies. While AT&T has used Palantir's "Foundry" platform for over five years for network operations and data analytics, recent controversy has focused on the company's employee monitoring practices
