Specifically, Teams will detect if the user has connected to the company's own Wi-Fi and automatically set the work location accordingly to the respective building.

I mean... Is it really spying? Your company can detect which AP or Switch you're connected to (or if you're using a VPN from home), so they do have that data anyways.

There's a huge difference between a piece of data being recorded in a SIEM somewhere and the data being displayed up front all of the time for micro managers to pounce on.

It’s just like ai photo generation. Yes it could always be done with photoshop/checking network logs but making it easier for more people/managers to see encourages more bad behavior and micromanagement.

Yeah this is shitty managers wet dream coming through.

Shitty managers are already breathing down your neck though, they didn’t exactly wait for this piece to be major annoyances….

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Now they can breathe down your neck from the comfort of their own home!

Well, surely someone will set it up for you... For a fee

Maybe even a subscription, why not
