1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: And Amanda Gemnac the pub test, boss is spying on 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:07,280 Speaker 1: you while you're working from home. Does it pass the 3 00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: pub test? 4 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 2: Well? 5 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 3: More Australians are heading back into the office, but there's 6 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 3: still over thirty percent, maybe thirty five percent, who are 7 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 3: working from home. This was something that often comes up. 8 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 3: It was up, It was being discussed just the other 9 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,320 Speaker 3: day on Good Morning Britain. 10 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,920 Speaker 4: People are lazy. We've all worked in offices and we've 11 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,520 Speaker 4: looked around and there are certain people who have a 12 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,560 Speaker 4: reputation for laziness. Now, if those people are working from home, 13 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 4: it's reasonable for a boss to distrust that they're actually 14 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 4: on it all day. It's reasonable for them to suspect 15 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 4: that they're probably not on it all day because if 16 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 4: they can get away with it in the office, they 17 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 4: can get away with it much more easily. 18 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: Human beings are always going to be human beings. You 19 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,920 Speaker 3: can be lazy at work, you can get away with 20 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,479 Speaker 3: doing what you have to do and without anyone, you know, 21 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 3: with this full surveillance. You don't get that in an 22 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: office necessarily, so why should you have to have it 23 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 3: at home? But there's lots of technology now, whether it's 24 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,520 Speaker 3: on your keyboard, to see what you're how often you're 25 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 3: on your keyboard, to see if you're online shopping, to 26 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: see if you're on the phone, all this kind of stuff. 27 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 3: How do you feel about it? Boss is spying on 28 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 3: you while you're working from home? So past the pub test? 29 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: I think yes, they should be able to spy on you. Well, 30 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: if they're paying you, and you know, just see what 31 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: you make sure you're doing your job absolutely, if you're 32 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: not doing anything wrong, you've got nothing to hide. They 33 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,200 Speaker 2: inspire your like if you were at work, they can 34 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 2: spike you at home. This doesn't pass the pub test. 35 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 2: The amount of time I spend on my phone, I'll 36 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:25,440 Speaker 2: probably get fired. 37 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 3: That's you. 38 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,760 Speaker 1: You're always on word and you just do it in. 39 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 2: Front of me. 40 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: But what if you want to put out the washing 41 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:33,680 Speaker 3: or something while you're at home and then you're working 42 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: extra ten minutes at the end of the day. 43 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,920 Speaker 1: That never happens, you know, that's what happens. 44 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,080 Speaker 3: That happens. 45 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you're going to do that the lawn and 46 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: then I'll make it up to you. 47 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 3: This is a clever way of working. Is if you 48 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 3: get the job done, who cares how it gets done? 49 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 4: It slack of central. 50 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 3: Of course you do. Everyone needs a haircut and needs 51 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 3: military service.
