Some quotes from the article:

There is something very strange about having this very intimate view into someone's life. It feels odd to see someone's daily drive, but it's also an important part of correcting and refining the program.

We review about five and a half to six hours of footage per day. It can be very hard to focus. You can get in this kind of fog when you're just watching clip after clip and it can be difficult to keep yourself sane.

Anytime you're not clicking around in the software program, it tracks you as if you aren't working and it basically sets off an alarm to your superiors.

These jobs sound very dystopian to me, and a bit psychopathic as well. All the movies I watched growing up about dystopian societies is reflected in what this guy says about his job.

Holy shit. I sometimes forget just how grateful I am to not live where it's possible/legal to treat people like this.

I don't know where you live but there's probably a bunch of call centers in your country with similar policies that are 100% compliant with the law

I'm Norway, and yeah, I'm sure there are places that don't abide by the law. But, I'm quite certain the kind of monitoring Tesla appears to be doing would be national news in a hurry, and something that would be cracked down on.

Same in Sweden. Tesla even tried to bypass Swedish laws here and failed badly.
