This makes me wonder if there's ever been any studies done showing worker happiness over time at comparable jobs compared against the increasing rise of workplace surveillance over time. It would be interesting to see if there's any correlation between the two. I know personally i've always been happier and more productive at jobs when I don't have employers breathing down my neck and counting every second of work I do. Humans need a level of autonomy and a small amount of freedom to 'fuck around' as it were. Not to the point where productivity starts to fall, but there's a balance between oppression and total freedom I feel creates the ideal working environment.
