If a company can't function without relying on behaviour that is unethical, then it can't exist; it's as simple as that. What exactly constitutes unethical behaviour crosses the line is up for debate (and usually codified as law), the consequences aren't really.
There's also a difference between making sure your employees are doing their job through monitoring on the one hand and on the other hand having an inhumane expectation of what constitutes their job in the first place. I think both can be done to a degree that's unacceptable (and German law e.g. poses some boundaries on both employee monitoring as well as maximum daily/weekly work hours etc.).
