Summary

The introduction of idle monitoring and 'virtual office' apps in remote teams creates significant distrust and privacy concerns among employees. Such tools are seen as productivity theater, failing to account for actual work patterns like focused deep work or short breaks. This leads to pushback from employees who feel surveilled, damaging team culture and morale. There is a lack of effective alternatives that ensure accountability without invading privacy.
