The credit reporting agency fired 24 remote employees based on employment records collected by Equifax software.
. The company allegedly looked through the records of at least 1,000 employees—including human resources and cybersecurity professionals—using its own software called The Work Number.
Equifax touts The Work Number as the “country’s largest centralized commercial database of income and employment information” , a statement which is as much vague as it is Orwellian. Employees were notified of their colleagues’ termination via an email from Equifax CEO Mark Begor, which was obtained by Insider.“We expect our team to be fully dedicated to EFX and have one role…their job at EFX,” Begor wrote in the email, where EFX refers to Equifax. “I am sure you are as disappointed as I am.”
We’re not. Apparently, 25 employees were interviewed by the company and all but one were terminated, saving the company a reported $3.2 million. The investigation, which had cheeky nicknames like “Project Home Alone” and “Project Page 12,” also relied on data that consisted of manager feedback, low VPN usage , and periods throughout the day where a worker was unavailable.
