Employees?
What are they
saying
about ME?
Monitoring employees for legitimate business purposes is an employer's responsibility.
Theft, embezzlement, fraud, kickbacks, data exfiltration, and other security issues are among the most legitimate business purposes.
Endangering, harassing, or jeopardizing the safety of other employees is another legitimate concern.
Most employees don't worry about being ACCUSED OR SUSPECTED OF A CRIME,
or getting a bad job reference --
but some are very concerned they will be ghosted or find doors of opportunity closed to them for no apparent reason.
EMPLOYEE SURVEILLANCE
Let's talk about
Performance Monitoring
Obviously, employers may have KPIs, quotas, or other metrics to evaluate employee performance.
Productivity may be measured for an individual employee or for a group of employees.
A good group example is when everyone gets a bonus for achieving company goals.
A poor example of individual employee performance could be their progress in a Healthy Workforce Program, in which individuals are weighed daily and the values posted on a chart where everyone can see it.
Unlike Performance Reviews, which typically involves input from other employees and may be perceived as fair and transparent, Performance Monitoring data is generally not accessible to employees.
Potential problems may arise when employees' locations are monitored to prove they are in the office, as policy requires.
What if they weren't able to finish an important task at the office that day, and worked during their personal time to finish the task elsewhere?
Should the employer conclude the employee is dedicated to delivering results on time, or perhaps is the employee penalized for not being productive enough at the office?
These are the types of decisions about you that are made automatically by machines.
SURVEILLANCE COUNTER-MEASURES
What can you do?
Track the Trackers
Perhaps your employer uses a consulting company like:
-
Accenture:
Embeds its AI-Ready Workforce (contractors) who make 'organizational restructuring' recommendations.
Like McKinsey, Accenture is named as one of the 'intermediaries under supervision' by the FTC for enabling Surveillance Pricing schemes on behalf of their clients. -
McKinsey:
Like Accenture, McKinsey has the financial resources and track record of aiding and abetting businesses that break laws and harm people.
In this news report, a McKinsey employee is called out for lying, falsifying records, and destroying evidence.
AI CAREER CHANGES
How much will your Stock Options be Worth?
If an employer's benefits package includes stock options, you might be interested in the risks disclosed to investors. Yo-AI includes these risks in its organization profiles and evaluates them in risk assessments it conducts on your behalf.
Did your employer steal your patented invention?
Some companies file patent applications to block others from claiming ownership as inventors.
Never include patents which are pending on your resume because prospective employers can sometimes block your patent application or steal your invention.
Yo-AI can find out what patents an organization owns, who the inventors are, and how the inventors benefited from the patented invention.
Your Fight for Survival: Human vs AI
When the company you work for announces a new business initiative to transform their organization by investing in AI technologies, what are these AI technologies?
What do they do?
How well do they do it?
How does it compare with your productivity?
Yo-AI discovers these AI technologies and conducts risk assessments employees can use to evaluate if they are competing with a "virtual employee". Yo-AI finds out which metrics make it attractive to your employer, and recommends methods for exceeding those expectations -- even if that entails augmenting your expertise and skills with those same AI technologies.

Other Reasons? (15.58%): * bad employee reviews? * unethical or illegal business practices? * invasion of privacy? |

Yo-AI classifies employees as 'individual consumers'. This protects individuals who are 'just doing their job' from stalking, doxxing, swatting and other harms. I built Yo-AI according to my values about privacy so that employees who aren't authorized to represent the organization aren't identified. |
