I wonder if there’s like even a single gen-Z or younger who does NOT hear the words “land of the free” as being the most sarcastic hypocritical bullshit this world ever saw.

When was it banned?
When I lived in the European Union we had surveillance cameras and microphones in all of our office spaces in the company I worked at.

Sounds pretty illegal

At my last workspace listening in on the call recordings (which were binding agreements with clients) was only allowed with the employee giving the ok and no way to force it, with a strong union support preventing retaliation against employees.
Since they were very open about this, it wasn’t needed often - mostly when clients made complaints differing from what was logged by the employee.

If you don’t trust someone to do their work, don’t employ them. If you employ someone, trust them. Who cares if they work in their undies with SpongeBob playing in the background? If they produce results then why would you need to make sure of anything else?

And if your only way to check if someone is working is to spy on them, then maybe this work is useless

Exactly, manage the outcomes, not the people.
