Does your office have any employee monitoring trackers ?

I heard many of the Companies offering WFH/Remote/Hybrid have been using time and employee activity tracking software since Covid.

A few of them take screenshots on a periodic basis, monitor clicks per hour, option to view any employee's screen on live basis , tracking and reporting time spent on non-work websites.

Please do name the Company for awareness.

You'd be a fool if you think your company doesn't track your activity. Unless it's a very very early stage startup, a company will at least monitor your network activity with a logger. IT teams are smart enough to install software in the background with the user not even realising something is going on.

Not entirely true, I am the admin of my machine, nothing gets installed without my approval

I am an admin of my machine too but there should be another user owned by your company name. It will also be an admin user.
