Been remote for about two and a half years at this company and overall it’s been fine. Good team, reasonable hours, no complaints about the work itself. Then about three weeks ago my internet went out in the morning, took maybe 25 minutes to come back, I logged in late and got a message from my manager later that day asking if everything was okay because I had a “delayed start.”
I thought it was a coincidence at first, like maybe she just happened to notice. But then a coworker mentioned she got the same message on a day she had a doctors appointment and logged in at 9:22 instead of 9. Neither of us had told anyone we’d be slightly late, we just were. So apparently someone somewhere is watching Slack login times and flagging anything past a window we were never told existed
I checked my offer letter, my contract, the employee handbook. Nothing about monitoring login activity. Nothing about a required online time. My hours are listed as “flexible with core hours 10-3.” I log on before 9 most days because I prefer it but I genuinely did not know this was being tracked. Still not sure how to bring it up without making it weird. Kind of just staring at the Slack icon every morning now to make sure I open it on time like some kind of digital time clock
