’23 quit in 7 days’: Billionaire boss forces remote staff onto laptop camera monitoring

American billionaire attorney John Morgan is facing criticism over workplace privacy and employee monitoring after 23 employees resigned within a week of his company implementing productivity monitoring via laptop cameras. Morgan made the announcement during a podcast appearance, where he discussed the difficulty of managing remote workers and the reluctance of some employees to return to the office post-pandemic.

While he acknowledged that workers could continue working remotely, he insisted on strict monitoring measures, including cameras installed on employees' work laptops. Morgan stated that the policy resulted in 23 employees leaving the company in just seven days, emphasizing that the departures were not solely due to a desire for remote work, but rather a resistance to the heightened level of supervision and accountability he imposed on his staff.

Critics have reacted to Morgan's revelation, highlighting concerns about discipline, self-control, and the impact of constant connectivity on employees' well-being.
