The future may be here and the watchers may soon be hired

The powers that be would love nothing better than implant the chip at birth.

Its awful and frightening how dated the book 1984 is now a days.

It seems that for technology there are no limits.

In Italy the workers have already announced that they will go on strike if they intend to use this wristband. I know that some companies in the United States already use a similar system. It will be hard to implement this in Europe.

That's going too far to have employees wear those. I'm sure they will tout them as marketing to improve.

apple does that already with their watch. you just set it and it does the counting for you.

Almost seems crazy to think this is possible for employers to have their employees wear these but then again, nothing really is so crazy anymore.

Why so cynical? This is all to make our experience at work a much more enjoyable one. Surely you can see that. It would never be used for such nefarious activities as spying on us. You watch way too much TV!!! And now my real answer: I have noticed in the last 10 years or so a gradual reversion towards Victorian attitudes regarding the employer/employee relationship. The employer is invariably trying to screw every last ounce of work/commitment from every employee. The technology we were told would free us from the shackles of full-time employment has only resulted in us being effectively on-call 24 hours a day. This gizmo is just the next step in our evolution (devolution???) from free human beings to subservient drones! The only way we will stop this is for every single employee to refuse to wear these things, and every single applicant for jobs in companies who want to introduce them also refuse to wear them. We have that power if we all just stick together and do the right thing. Unfortunately there are enough sycophantic, brown-nosing suck ups who, in an effort to further their own careers, will volunteer for pretty much anything and it then becomes very difficult to refuse these things once they have gained a foothold in the workplace!!

This is a worry isn't it? I wouldn't like this at all but then once where Vince worked the computer records showed one employee spent almost all day on Freecell.

That is to make sure they are working and not playing in their phones.

Gotta love Corporate America.

Yes, the microchip under the skin, let's u use computers without passwords, the copy machine and come thru the door without ID and opens it automatically!!! Not good. What if u don't want this thing!!!??? It's waaaaay too nozy. I don't care how trendy it is!!!!!

Mmm yeah I don't know. That's a little creepy.

I don't like the sound of this.
