WADU Workplace Surveillance

The bio-metric feeds are updated from the facial and behavioral tracking. Having a bad day? Stressed about something? WADU has already noticed this and alerted your manager. Can’t focus? Not working at your usual pace? WADU has already noticed this and alerted your manager. Did something you normally don’t do? It’s possible WADU flagged it as suspicious and alerted your manager. WADU is also why they are pushing RTO or “return to office” so hard. Upper management does not care if some employees are more productive when they are working from home. They want everyone back in the office as much as possible so that their WADU profiles are being refined. Enhancing their insight into you is more important to them than better productivity from working from home. A lot of teams are now required to come in two to three days per week. Director level and higher are required to come in four to five days per week. Upper management wants to see everyone at all levels back in the office five days a week. They have invested millions into the WADU system, and they want to get a return on that investment. That only happens whenever people are in the office as much as possible.

The image is a screenshot of text describing WADU, a workplace surveillance system that tracks employees’ facial expressions and behavior, alerts managers about unusual activity, and supposedly motivates companies to force workers back into the office. The joke is a sarcastic portrayal of an AI overlord monitoring every mood and habit, making return-to-office policies seem like an excuse to collect more employee data.
