Screen Tracking?

I rejected offers from 2 companies last month because they had a mandatory employee tracking softwares.

I have been very clear during my final interviews, I clearly ask- do you track screens? If you do I am sorry I am uncomfortable and I wouldn’t like to continue!

They have all tried to say, we rarely see the recordings- if so, are you dumb to pay for something you rarely use? If you can’t hire adults you can trust, and actually give responsibility too, without looking into their laptops, I am not working in that environment!

Amount of people who are okay with employers tracking them is really insane. Not wonder companies treat us employees like doormat.

Which softwares are these? Maybe folks do not know they are being tracked.

Not everyone is smart enough to ask about this question upfront and don't feel strongly to leave once they find out.
