Attendance tracking

Curious to know who else have biometric or online based attendance tracking in the org. For a stealth startup of 20-30 guys, the CEO/HR seems to have introduced biometric based attendance tracking. Unless you’ve logged 9 hours in office. You’ll not get get any attendance. Am I alone in calling this out as a dumb fuck move for a company of such size?

Feel freee to add your org name with the kind of attendance tracking that you have.

Okay. I think its a demand supply thing. The practice will continue if companies find people willing to work overtime. Probably cuz in this market supply exceeds demand. I think that's just how the world works.
