Ontario requires employers of a certain size (>= 25, IIRC) to have a written policy on remote employee tracking. This has been a great bit of transparency, and has helped ward employers against actually tracking remote workers. I hope the rest of the country follows suit.
Something that may also end up putting pressure on these paranoid tin-pot dictators, too, is asking during job interviews whether the company monitors keystrokes, and, if they do, why they don’t trust their employees to be professionals.
Monitoring keystrokes seems like it’s too insecure. Is IT seeing passwords and sensitive work data all day? I mean, even more than normal. That’s a better way to get sued.
