Microsoft productivity score feature criticised as workplace surveillance

MS: "Insights are intended to help organisations..."

I think the problem is with the unintended consequences or uses. Whether MS intended it or no, it seems to be in use for dystopian micromanagement. (Though frankly... can anyone really believe MS's look of innocence on this?)

The old rubric applies: Tell me how you measure me and I'll tell you how I behave." Measure me by keystrokes and I'll gladly flail away at the keyboard for as long as it takes to produce an impressive number before deleting the garbage. Job done.

Does anyone take this sort of "productivity" surveillance with even a single grain of seriousness/credibility?
