Employee Monitoring Pissing People Off
from the how-much-do-you-not-trust-your-employees dept
Seems that more and more companies are monitoring everything their employees do on a computer and it's beginning to piss employees off. Employees are saying that in a time when they work harder than ever for a company, and often put in extra time and take work home, that the company should give them some leeway in their personal use of the company's computers.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

IT and Computer Personnel in California Qualify for Overtime
Our law firm has initiated over 60 class action overtime lawsuits in California, mainly against the abusive computer and IT industry for failing to pay overtime. If you worked overtime but were not paid for it, or told you were salary exempt, you are "likely" entitled to overtime pay. You can go back up to four years to claim your overtime from current and past employers and you do not have to have kept time records.
Find out if you are entitled to overtime at:

I hope this post is helpful to all of those who may have been abused under the strict labor laws of California.
