I don't know anything about Gaggle but I would be the least bit surprised if someone told me they have a similar workforce surveillance mindset/toolset in place for the employees who write this software. Most IT workers don't land great jobs at hip startups, there is no shortage of people willing to be monitored if it means they receive their paycheck despite being average or below average in the field (or above and too niche, for that matter).
