I fucking hate tiktok and refuse to touch anything near it

But you’re right, this article is a nothing-article. If your company uses badge swipes/RFID, alllll of that is tracked and stored and accessible to folks. Maybe not regular workers, but absolutely higher ups. This is absolutely nothing new.

💯 I used to work for a company that sold a product literally for this purpose.

During Covid, and all the hybrid working that came from it, we pitched it as a way to conduct contact-tracing and to monitor how many of your employees are in the office at one time, what floors they are on, what offices they are using…we even had an app that would track your movements throughout the office (for your safety, of course)
