Some quotes from the article:
There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone’s life. It feels odd to see someone’s daily drive, but it’s also an important part of correcting and refining the program.
We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you’re just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.
Anytime you’re not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren’t working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.
These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.
I don’t know where you live but there’s probably a bunch of call centers in your country with similar policies that are 100% compliant with the law
I’m Norway, and yeah, I’m sure there are places that don’t abide by the law. But, I’m quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.
Same in Sweden. Tesla even tried to bypass Swedish laws here and failed badly.
I don’t know where you live to think that, and all the people who upvote you??? For sure these work conditions would not be neither legal nor accepted in Scandinavian countries, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t legal in EU.
Both the surveillance and bathroom conditions would be reason for blockades of the company.
AFAIK Tesla is still under boycott by the Swedish unions, and that was supported by unions in Denmark too.
It’s very expensive for companies to behave like that in Scandinavian countries, and doubtless also other EU countries.
They are probably not compliant at all, they just never get checked by authorities.
Which for purposes of the “law” are the same thing lol
Ain’t it grand?
And then when they do get checked out, the punishment is only a tiny fraction of the profits they stole.
