TikTok is introducing a new employee badge monitoring app, MyRTO, to encourage more in-office attendance. This move aligns with a trend among major tech companies, like Meta and Google, to reduce flexibility in remote work introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic. MyRTO monitors employees' office badge swipes and may request explanations for absences. Non-compliance could lead to disciplinary action and affect performance reviews. The tool is integrated into TikTok's internal software and provides transparency on return-to-office expectations. Workplace surveillance tools have grown due to concerns about remote work productivity. Other companies, including Meta, Apple, and Google, are also tightening their in-office attendance requirements.
