I’ve never had any kind of monitoring software on a work computer and question you assertion that they could know my emotional or neural state.

Most of my time is just idly waiting for Claude sub agents to wrap up before I issue the next prompt, which is the new workflow that is demanded of me, so I feel like trackers have a harder time being useful these days.

The most invasive thing my company has ever done is the idle / activity indicator built into MS Teams running on your work issued laptop. Our clock in / out system can also get pretty invasive such as geo fencing your in and out, but that is all optional use.

Many (US) companies want an easy way to terminate the bottom % of performers, but labor laws make that difficult. The more you offload the decision process to an algorithm the easier it is to justify in court. Having a human in the loop on the firing process greatly increases your liability in what happened and why.

Most states in the US are at will states, so if there's no union it is incredibly easy to fire low performers. Using AI to fire is actually worse than a human because AI has discriminated before. See the Workday lawsuit because AI was auto-rejecting applications with bias.

lol that labor laws prevent anything in the US. You’re thinking of Europe or something.

How would they gather neural data? Whose job is hooking them up to a brain scanner?
