Time Tracking without?Screenshots

The Hidden Cost of Invasive Time Tracking

Picture this: Maria, a senior developer at a leading tech firm, starts her workday with a familiar pit in her stomach. Her screen flashes every 10 minutes for another screenshot. Her keystrokes are being counted. Her bathroom breaks are being timed.

"I felt like I couldn't breathe," she recalls. "Every moment was being watched, measured, judged. My creativity tanked. I started looking for another job within weeks."

Maria's story isn't unique. Studies show that invasive monitoring:

- Decreases productivity by 30% due to anxiety

- Increases turnover by 75%

- Destroys team trust and morale

- Leads to "performance theater" instead of real work

- Costs companies millions in lost talent
