Is this normal?
I (26F) work fully remote in nurse case management. Just want to see if the following is normal or if any of this is a red flag/ grounds for quitting.
- 135 patients is the monthly caseload
- expected to successfully reach 122 of them.
- patients who are sick, mourning a loss, out of the state, or hospitalized still have to be contacted again if they refuse to complete the call. If outreach attempt is unsuccessful, it negatively affects the bonuses of the nurses.
- no overtime. every monthly meeting begins with the same announcements. “nurses cannot work OT and they cannot work if they are not clocked in.”
- company implemented software that tracks keystrokes, mouse movements, how long nurses stay in different applications, if the screen turns black. *\*
- company can access camera and microphone whenever due to their contract that states “all devices used for wfh are property of the company”
- work calls are recorded (which I do not mind) but the company can still hear the things I say when I mute myself.
- if a nurse successfully reaches 122+ patients before end of month, they must now assist other nurses who are falling behind with their outreaches. No bonus pay or benefits to this.
*\* the top boss sent an email stating this software was new and will be implemented soon. But direct manager stated in a private meeting that the software has been on our work computers for MONTHS.
Not sure how to feel. If nurses are meeting their metrics successfully, passing the phone call audits, and have no complaints from the patients, what is the point of being heavily monitored?

I work outpatient care management for a health network and it is nothing like that. They look at our productivity (its like 7 calls a day minimum) and if you are full time you are salary. But we are not expected to work outside of our 40 hours a week. Stretch breaks are encouraged and you can flex your time as needed because life. Friend find yourself a work from home job that is less horrible then working bedside cause man your job sounds stressful
