Don't hire people if you don't trust people. Monitor their output not their process

I agree in principle but there's context to this discussion. I've had people argue (to be clear, on work provided computers) that having EDR software phone home with "User downloaded free-movies-mp4.exe and it contained ransomware" is a massive privacy violation. There's got to be an acceptable limit.

Logging DNS traffic is valuable during a security investigation. Depending on your company’s acceptable use policy, no one cares that you are on Reddit.

Monitoring Remote Desktop sessions either by random interval screenshots or screen recording is valuable when you have vendors/contractors connecting to your net. IMO, this is unacceptable for normal employee workstations.

Turning on the mic or webcam is a major violation of privacy. If your doing something SO important/secret/critical that you need to monitor the person doing it you should not be working remotely to begin with.
