Results matter more than tracking productivity to this level. This stuff is gross.

I hate tech like this, this capability is terrible. I have a lot of staff working remotely and would never dream of requiring this kind of access. The maximum for me is like Upwork tracking such is randomly screenshot of screen while someone is logging paid hours. And even then I disable that pretty soon after establishing trust with someone.
