“I monitor my staff with software that takes screenshots”
I worked for a company with a UK department, the UK boss would routinely use similar software to check that people where actually working and doing things correctly.The Scandinavian bosses opted to just trust everyone to do the right thing and people always would.Interestingly enough if was always the British employees who would do things like steal customer contact lists when they left or do deals on the side, so I suppose they had a reason to not trust people.While I don't think spying on your employees is acceptable, I was also extremely disappointed in the behavior of my British colleagues.
