ELECTRONIC MONITORING OF EMPLOYEES ON AND OFF THE JOB

You’ve been fired. According to your employer’s data, your facial expressions showed you were insubordinate and not trustworthy. You also move your hands at a rate that is considered substandard. Other companies you may want to work for could receive this data, making it difficult for you to find other work in this field.

Thus begins a piece by Thor Benson in In These Times, read for us here by Tom Becker.
