Barclays Puts in Sensors to See Which Bankers Are at Their Desks

Article found here: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-08-1…

They claim that: “The sensors aren’t monitoring people or their productivity; they are assessing office space usage,” the bank said in an emailed statement. “This sort of analysis helps us to reduce costs, for example, managing energy consumption, or identifying opportunities to further adopt flexible work environments.”

Sounds like a load of bullshit to me... they double as a "productivity" sensor. Face time is officially being quantified.

That's honestly horrible....

And what's more funny is the comp tracking to see how much time spent on each client LOL. Horrible excuse given too.
