Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity
But no matter what his preferred working style was, TikToker Tim Lee felt pressured by his company to really stay focused, because the remote worker discovered that his company was tracking his work productivity and time management.
This wasn't through a clock-in app or time management sheet, either. The program that he had to log into for work automatically would take a screenshot of everything that was on his screen every 10 minutes.
This allowed the company not only to freely see what an employee had up on their screen at any given time, but it would allow them to monitor how long it was taking an employee to complete a task by comparing one screenshot to the next.

Some were alarmed by the video and demanded that Lee call out the company.

Others agreed and found this to be an extremely toxic form of micromanaging.

While clocking in and even using time management apps has been a common feature of many workplaces—and particularly workplaces with remote options—for a long time, taking screenshots of an employee's workspace is new and most certainly feels invasive, if not dystopian as well.
This might just be a very extreme case of micromanaging and toxicity in the workplace, which employees may need to push back on at some point to preserve their sense of privacy and identity within their chosen workspaces.

Texas Mechanic Speaks Out After Noticing How The Price Of Services Skyrocketed Within The Past Year
In a viral video, the mechanic starts off in the back of the shop, offering a sneak peak into some of the spare items stored back there. There's a billboard with prices on it that had been flipped inside-out to reuse. On the underside, the price for an original change just a year ago was $39.95.
The board had then been flipped to the other side so new price of $59.95 could be displayed instead.
Then that billboard was abandoned in the back room and replaced with a new one, because the price had been increased again to $69.95.
Then, just a week after taking those video clips, the TikToker received a mailer which showed the prices at $79.95, nearly $80 for just a basic oil changes. Literally double what they had been less than a year ago. Upgrades were priced at $90 and $120, which he said are "competitive" with other mechanic prices in the area.
What was alarming to TikToker @skylr.m wasn't just the price leap, but the fact that the prices were not reflected in the costs of the items that were being provided to the customers, or in the cost of labor for his employees. More money was being demanded of the customer, but the shop itself and its employees were not seeing pay raises.
You can watch the video here:
Some TikTokers were disgusted by how the prices were going up.

It might seem counterintuitive for a mechanic to point out questionable pricing structures in the industry in which he works, but that actually speaks volumes to how terrible it's gotten if a mechanic feels the need to speak up about it and voice concern over it.
There's no telling how much worse it will get before it gets better, but it's important that we keep talking about it and hold accountable those who have the power to make a difference.
Fitness Influencer Hit With Backlash After Calling Out Gymgoer For 'Photobombing' Her Workout Video
The video was set up to focus on Picone completing her routine on a bench, but more of the gym beyond her was visible, including a row of weights and mirrors. During her set, a woman stepped into frame to return her weights and to stretch in front of the mirror, seemingly to check her form.
Picone appeared irritated as she glanced at the woman and then looked at her camera, as if to confirm that the woman was included in her shot. She appeared irritated as she switched to leg lifts before finally dropping to the floor and approaching her phone.
Off-screen, Picone asked the woman why she was standing there. When the woman expressed confusion, Picone stated:
"Because you're annoying me. You're annoying me. You're doing this on purpose."
The woman replied something inaudible to Picone before grabbing another set of weights and walking out of the frame.
But that wasn't enough for Picone, who said:
"Don't work out next to me. Don't work out next to me. Please, don't work out next to me."
Ironically, Picone wrote in a text overlay on the video:
"Gym Etiquette Lesson 47: Don't photobomb the content creator."
She also wrote in the video's caption:
"She did that sh*t on purpose."
You can watch the video here:
Viewers were disgusted by Picone's behavior toward her fellow gymgoer and her delusional level of entitlement.

Viewers were not the only ones to speak up about this, however. Popular fitness influencer Joey Swoll even stepped in to talk about Picone's poor gym etiquette and challenged her to build a home gym if she felt she was entitled to so much space.
Swoll stated:
"Saying 'don't photobomb a fitness influencer is gym etiquette' is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard."
"You're upset with that woman, not because she walked in front of or through your video, but because she's standing behind you?"
"And you think you have the right to tell her she's annoying you? Seriously?"
"You have no right to tell anybody in the gym, video or not, where they can stand."
"If you want to film somewhere where nobody's going to bother you and you can do as you please, build a home gym. Train there. Until then, you need to do better. Mind your own business."
You can watch Swoll's response video here:
Since this video went viral and Swoll spoke up about the issue, Picone has posted videos repeatedly about the incident, stating that other people should be more considerate of those who want to film, and that those who had a problem with her behavior should seek out a gym membership themselves to "sweat out" all of that negativity.
Picone has also since lost her gym membership, which she was confident she would not lose, on the grounds that she'd been a member for the past seventeen years and because she was certain she was right.
Maybe she has some negative feelings and entitlement that she still needs to "sweat out" as well.
