>Staff at one of Britain's oldest national newspapers got a shock on Monday morning when they found monitoring sensors installed under their desks.
>The boxes, sold by OccupEye as a way to monitor how long staff are at their desks without relying "on coffee cups and coats on chairs," were installed in the offices of The Daily Telegraph. Staff weren't told anything about the installation and soon kicked up a storm of protest.
>The devices were installed under the desks of journalism, advertising, and other commercial departments. There's no word if HR got them too.
>In response, some staff removed the batteries from the devices, while others called their colleagues in rival press organizations to leak the news. In the wave of this public backlash, management said the boxes were there to monitor building heating systems and agreed to remove them.
I'd literally chop off my left nut for a desk job in some dystopian office space.
You guys have no idea where the world is headed.

Just a link to their website. Seeing as it's some default marketing material, that makes sense. Doesn't mean that the actual devices don't have something else.
They're actually pretty sneaky about what this is really for. A lot of their website just talks about utilizing space and utilities more efficiently. But yeah, it's totally wagie monitoring system.
>find box under desk >scan it and get directed to website about its use >bosses still say "the boxes were there to monitor building heating systems" lmao
Benjamin Baker
of course it is user, no company wants to install a product that when their employees will google it will come up "wagie monitoring sensor". so they have to write some bullshit to obscure the real purpose. the company and the employers know whats going on. all appearances.
Andrew Walker
hate how corporations will do shady shit get caught and just casually and with no shame lie and make excuses for said shady behavior.
Liam Price
Ikr? At this point, who the fuck even wants a job? It's literally less miserable to just be homeless.
Isaac Robinson
I’m literally in tears. Can’t even get angry, it’s just comedy at this point
Asher Bailey
The thing is, energy efficiency with heating/cooling is actually important when running a business in a large building with several floors. So it does have a legitimate purpose, which is why if they ever get taken to court they will easily get out of it.
Josiah Cruz
yes, but how would a motion sensor help you monitor heating/cooling? Ignoring that, why would you put it under someones desk?
Mason Brown
I know how their twisted reasoning works. We are monitoring people, and people give off heat, heating the building. Therefore, the employees are building heating systems that also sere many other purposes, so we are not lying. :^)
Ian Wood
LOL
Eli Hernandez
It's a heat sensor. Putting it under ever desk makes sure you get a good read of the temperature in the room. It just so happens to also be sensitive enough to tell you when something warm like a human body is near it.
>energy efficiency with heating/cooling is actually important when running a business in a large building with several floors.
Yeah that's what a fucking thermostat is for. I am an HVAC engineer and there is no reason they would need to count how many wagies are currently sitting at their desk to tell the VAV box whether to open or close.
Ayden Williams
...but why WOULDNT they? Individual climate control plans are getting mapped out rn you know someone’s working 80 hrs this week kek
Jason Butler
that sensor detects your boner and then automatically fines you
Julian Price
Why even report it? Why not spoof it? Fucking wagies deserve everything they get. >user, it says you were at your desk for 8 hours during Saturday and Sunday? >that’s right boss. I love working here. I think my performance and attendance warrant a raise.
>It's a heat sensor. >strap onahole warmer in front of it >plug into USB port >go take naps in the archive and do nothing at my desk >jew thinks I'm still good goyim and working 24/7
One trip to Home Depot and I can retire early. But these people work in advertising and journalism so that kind of thinking hurts their brains.
Camden Evans
I thought this was a camera that took upskirt shots
Nathan Carter
Some of the banks in the UK tried this too. I know the Royal Bank of Scotland did this to their FX traders. Did not go down well at all
Landon Diaz
That logo makes it pretty obvious what it does.
Gavin Walker
Do they really think this will trick people.
>Corporate director: Hey Joe, this is Johnson from corporate, lets test out the OccupEye in your office as its been doing very well. >Regional office manager: Why yes that is an exquisite idea Johnson. >Corporate director: We'll get them installed post haste after hours. How do you believe the cattle will respond? >Regional office manager: Hey Wojak please come into my office for a brief moment. >Layman Wojak: Yes sir? >Regional office manager: This innovative device called OccupEye will be installed in the office it monitor's utilization of space and utilities reducing overall costs and improving work flow efficiency. What do you think? >Layman Wojak: You mean it checks if someone at their desk by checking body heat? >Corporate director: What is your name son! >Layman Wojak: Wojak, sir. >Corporate director: You're fired you entitled prideful & ungrateful funnyman!!! >Layman Wojak: Pic related
>I am an HVAC engineer and there is no reason they would need to count how many wagies are currently sitting at their desk to tell the VAV box whether to open or close. the mistake you make is to think that some Jew lawyer won't convince his Jew judge friend otherwise in the inevitable lawsuit. facts are irrelevant.
Nathan Gonzalez
>without relying "on coffee cups and coats on chairs,"
wtf does that mean? Limeys need a liosonce to put their coat on their chair?
Easton Sanchez
> Ohhh wagie away from your desk for these times were you?? > Throws a Detailed report of all the times you stepped out in front of you > Umm boss I had a meeting... > No excuses stay at your desk and email people Hilarious especially in an office where Stacy is busy gossiping nonstop to Rachael
Gavin Johnson
Welp, looks like it's time to update the wagecage Wojack pic.
Angel Morris
He won't have to because
Christopher Bell
discrete way to give office wide penis inspections
Jordan Clark
no. they put their coat there to make it seem like they just went out for something and theyll be back any minute
Brody Mitchell
It's actually a suppression system that neuters wagies by constantly bombarding reproductive organs with shortwave electromagnetic pulses.
>Electrical and computer engineers design a device that logs the moment you sit down and stand up from your desk >Implement it under the desks of journalists
That is a very creative way of telling them learn to code.
Connor Torres
The farmer does not have to care what his cattle think.
Nolan Perez
Why? is chair theft common among limey office cels?

If I were CEO, I'd say it would be for research purposes, not tied to performance appraisals at all. I'd get away with it. Daily telegraph managers aren't smart at all. Low verbal IQ, it's why the jews reck ur fags' anuses every century
Noah Clark
If they did this at my job I'd pry mine off with a flathead, but then again I don't care about my job at all
