I am a manager and am afraid of a future like this. To echo your point I caution everyone to be careful what kind of data you wish for because you just might get it. Over a long enough timeline the probability goes to 1 that it will be misused by management.

Management in general, and especially in well run companies, tends to be responsible and judicious in their use of various metrics and getting a good, holistic view of employee interactions and engagements is vital to ensuring that high performers are identified and adequately mentored. Ideally, this type of data could be paired with a sentiment analysis engine and an emotional identifying model that could help coach negative employees toward more positive and beneficial interactions. This is an area that would require a delicate balance to prevent misuse, but, given most HR departments hesitance to act without strong background information, it would likely be a net positive in nearly every case. 'scuse me I need to go wash my mouth with soap. I just gamed the metrics that would be produced with this and I feel dirty.
