Google has developed an algorithm that can read employees' minds to spot possible job-hopples before they resign. It is reported that with this algorithm, HR can get inside poople's heads even before they know they might leave. Can you believe this? How can it work, sounds like a mind-reader or fortune-teller, it's magic

I believe it's possible.. It's just like playing psychological warfare by observing human behaviours and clues.. haha =D No boss will want their employees to leave, especially when it's a capable one right?? SO with such a algorithm, it means that the whole company can perfom better as a team, with high team spirits.. Rather than wanting someone who's always using every job as a steeping stone to ehlp them reach where they wanna be in the future.. haha =D If ever u becomes a boss, u should understand why they feel that way.. hehe ^_^

Oh no, I will definitely not consent to this. My thought are my thoughts and that's the only place that I can be in my own private world. Whether it would help their company or not, knowing that I might be a 'job-hopper' still it would still be a very much invasion of privacy. Also, I think that the qualities of a person can never be quantified since it is qualitative. One could only guess at it and even in algorithms or maths, there are a lot of variables and unknowns, especially when it comes to human behavior. So, having said that the companies that are involved with this kind of 'technology' would just be the same as hiring or not hiring a prospective employee. The chance would still be 50-50.
