A US law firm founder, John Morgan, says his decision to install camera-based monitoring on employees’ work-from-home devices is followed by 23 resignations. He describes the change as part of a revised remote work policy aimed at improving accountability and productivity, and he links the departures to employees’ reluctance to work under the new conditions.
Multiple outlets report that the monitoring measures include not only camera access but also productivity tracking such as keystroke monitoring and related controls. The firm’s position is that these tools are intended to address concerns about performance visibility in remote work arrangements. Other coverage frames the episode as raising questions about where performance monitoring ends and employee surveillance begins, and how much flexibility remote workers should expect.
While the articles differ in emphasis—one focusing on Morgan’s anecdote and the other on the broader debate about surveillance—the accounts converge on the same sequence: a tighter remote-work policy involving device monitoring, followed by resignations from remote staff.
