But firms using the technology argue that they are acting reasonably, with so many employees now out of sight of managers and otherwise difficult to oversee. I don’t get this manager’s need for a surveillance. You don’t stare at your engine all day to see how much power output it generates. You simply press the pedal and see how it goes after a while. It doesn’t matter if it works hard, or makes 300hp at only 50rpm — this is irrelevant if it does its job, and if it is easy for “them”, it’s their own trait which you didn’t pay for them to get. While management is inevitable in an organization, this level of control in my opinion is clearly a sort of slaver’s psychopathy.
