Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. āIf the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.ā
A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it āmonitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediatelyā.
Capitalism is so exhausting
Fuck this
This is insane.
Capitalism is so innovative /s
Hi!Ā Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass?Ā Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?
Step 1: Open Notepad.
Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the --- that caps either end of it. --- Dim objResult Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Do While True Ā objResult = objShell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}") Ā Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop --- Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.
What does this do?
This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant.Ā This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldnāt affect most things that youāre doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things youāre doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging.Ā As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.
Damn, Tumblr back at it. Now we got coders coming in to save the day.
Tumblrās collective hate for capitalism is astounding every time but damn if I donāt love it
For all my call center readers.
