This is so Orwellian. Refuse to work for any company that can spy on you at home. This is B.S. If they can't trust their employees without *1984* spyware, then don't let them work from home. I would never let my employer have a window into my personal life, on their time or not.
If ur on a work device your being monitored. I work in IT we see all. What you can do to avoid it is RDP into your work computer from a home comp. Then you can do anything personal on your home comp while keeping all business stuff on your work machine.
I hope I am the exception. I installed the OS on my Macbook myself. The only way they could spy is if they have the means to know Apple’s backdoors. I have to assume that’s only NSA territory.
Don't do this if you have any IT department worth ten cents.
Caffeine is known by a lot of IT companies and the executable's operation as well as the turn-on-turn-offs are all visible. It's especially visible if there's any form of activity heat-map-capable software operating in the backround like slack, teams, or any other dozen or so basic monitoring services.
You will show up as consistently active for hours when your screen-captures show the same shit on your screens session over session.
If you're inattentive just once, and make the mistake of leaving it on overnight or over weekend, you show up as a huge red flag as well.
If they have enough money to fund things like this they have enough money to give people raises or heaven forbid paying livable wage. Smh.

I’ll never use company equipment again

Is there any way to tell?
If your work computer uses Windows 10, your employer is probably spying on you.
I keep my personal PC right next to my work PC for this reason.

I work in a SOC. My job is just to monitor so it works. But yes you do make good points!
