A recent college graduate on TikTok, Tim Lee, is sounding the alarm on his employer’s new time-tracking software. He called it “pretty dystopian” in a video that’s now racked up over 400,000 views. This isn’t just about logging hours; this software is seriously invasive, taking screenshots every 10 minutes, monitoring keystrokes, and calculating the exact percentage of time he spends on each work activity.
Lee’s post, shared on October 1, 2025, sparked a huge conversation, with many people sharing his worry about where this culture of productivity tracking and surveillance is leading. Even though Lee admits that he “gets it” from the employer’s perspective, he still shared his personal reaction to the intense monitoring.
