How to address workplace surveillance tools that are changing team dynamics

Our startup team uses about fifteen different tracking tools and platforms to monitor everything from our productivity to our code commits to our Slack sentiment, and everyone acts like this is normal but I can feel how it's changing how we work together. We're performing collaboration instead of actually collaborating, and when I brought it up in our retrospective, half the team said they hadn't even thought about it and the other half looked uncomfortable but didn't say anything.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group is discovering that being constantly measured is transforming their authentic collaboration into performance.
