    Thankfully the place i work for is just a wannabe and has to weigh financial decisions like this and thankfully always gets denied. I always find it funny when this stuff is brought up because it takes a lot of distrust and bad decisions to think spending a small fortune to watch your employees is going to make them work harder and increase productivity. Like, even if that was somewhat true, which it isn’t for many reasons, you spent a ton of money on a system that will probably take away any increase in profits anyway. The only people who win here are the companies paid to install and setup the equipment.

      It’s an illusion to think business decisions are always made based on economic considerations. This is about power and control, not about saving money.

    Maybe this is one of those autism things again but I’m really annoyed by this headline format and I wish articles would stop using it.

    I don’t have a boss, nor an office job. Stop assuming that everyone does.

        Oh, you’re highly underestimating my capability to get stuck in the little things
