Imagine your performance at work was assessed directly from the amount of e-mails sent, the amount of time consumed editing a document, or the time spent in meetings or even moving your mouse. This may sound ludicrous but your boss might be doing exactly that.

Results matter more than tracking productivity to this level. This stuff is gross.

I hate tech like this, this capability is terrible. I have a lot of staff working remotely and would never dream of requiring this kind of access. The maximum for me is like Upwork tracking such is randomly screenshot of screen while someone is logging paid hours. And even then I disable that pretty soon after establishing trust with someone.
