Hubstaff is ridiculous

I was forced to join this company 7 months ago because I have been applying remotely for over a year and had no offers. The pay was absolutely ridiculous. $20 per hour + the CEO asks us to use AI instead of writing code, just to reduce expenses not to improve the development experience.

As I am a Senior software engineer, I normally do things, 10 times faster most of the time, and guess what, the company was penalizing me instead of rewarding. I had to slow down the way I type and the way I browse just to be able to log more hours to make enough money.

Has no choice, but to write a python script, that navigates the screen, open some links randomly, open `phpstorm` IDE, open files randomly, and start moving up and down randomly. I also made it configurable to randomly show an efficiency between 60% – 90%.

So now, I only work for few hours a week, get my todo list checked, and leave the rest to the python script. At least now, I feel like I am getting paid correctly.

If you’re an employer, who’s using Hubstaff to micromanage your team, you’re a disgrace!
