Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

My work placed infrared occupancy sensors under each desk yesterday without telling anyone. They point straight at the crotch.

Have a call with HR this afternoon about it, having raised concerns via email. This could prove to be a very interesting day.

That seems pretty dodgy even though I have no idea how. Are they offering complimentary doctors visits if you register as being too warm?

I'd be keen on trying out a diy standing rig just to avoid the sensors, bugger 'em.

Nah, the other kind of infrared sensor (i.e. just using movement to detect if you're there).

They could be part of a totally innocent turn-the-lights-off-when-nobody-is-working system that doesn't track individual users or log data. They could also be part of a log-how-much-time-you-spend-on-the-toilet system.

Either way, it falls under the category of Seriously Skeevy. It'll be interesting to see what HR comes back with.
