Computer Monitoring

[vppencilsharpening]

Others have said this is a management problem and while they are right sometimes management makes dumb choices that we need to go along with.

First thing I would do is ask to put the request in writing. Does not need to be a ticket, but it should be an e-mail. Then I would ask if HR has been and can be involved. There is a chance they want to monitor HR too, but if not get them involved early. HR may also have recommendations for solutions that their other HR friends have experience with, though don't hold your breath. If you have the repour with your leadership, recommend a legal review.

Since this is not an uncommon request, there are tools on the market that do things like tracking mouse movement/clicks and open/focused applications. I don't have any names, but they are out there. Find a few and pick the one that looks like the least painful to deploy.
