This type of monitoring always leads to employees missing breaks, bathroom visits and working off the clock.
Algorithms have no understanding of human limits and will push and push. Employees are scared to miss quotas since they will get fired and employers feel that they can push employees more since quotas are being met. At some point, it becomes a sweatshop where workers are strained to their limits.
We have seen this type of high-pressure work previously and it does not end well for both employers and employees. Employees revolt and employers have to concede to demands or face employee dissatisfaction which leads to societal disruption.
Companies think that they are improving their bottom line but in the long run, they disrupt society to the point of chaos for all.
This time may seem different because it's a high tech world but as long as humans are part of the equation we will see a similar result to previous situations. It's bad for everyone even if you are not the employer or employee.
