Meta Allows 30-Minute Pauses on Employee Tracking Program After Backlash
By
Karissa Bell
Summary
Meta is reportedly allowing employees to take 30-minute breaks from its workplace tracking program, which monitors in-office attendance and badge swipes. The concession comes after employee backlash over the company's increasingly strict return-to-office policies and surveillance measures. Workers can pause the tracking briefly for personal needs, but the overall system remains in place, reflecting the tension between Meta's push for in-person work and employee privacy concerns.
