N.Y. scanners spark union cries of "geoslavery"

The Artical reports on "geometric" slavery , watching employee's as they go about their work day through various bio-scannrrs scattered through the work place, and is responded that credit cards and cell phones are more likely avenues.


Well...it's so easy , isn't it ? You can't get a credit card ? Well...maybe the company will lend you one for your use as long as you pay it back. No cell phone, borrow the company one.

But now the company can review the records. Wow, you go to the beer store a lot don't you ? And look at all these calls to Afghanistan ? Arn't we at war with the Afghans right now ? Man I hate those rag heads (just an example lol ) I think I'll fire you.

The fiction is , the company doesn't care what you do in your own time. The fact is , oh yes they do. Drunkards not welcome. Bosses can be racist as all get out and if they think you're a member of some group they hate , bye bye. surf the net on the company computer, they'll watch. Check your email , they'll save copies. Borrow the company phone, the list of numbers you called is theirs to do wtih as they want (man you use a lot of call girls, you and the wife not getting it on lately ? ) Borrow the company credit card, the list of transactions is theirs to examine, paying every penny back on time or early does not change this. Use a company provided phone ... again company property. Company vehical , same deal.

Company phone with gps ... oh look you went carousing down town to every bar on main street ... three times a week , do we really want such a drunk on our payroll in any kind of important position ... ?

Get your own cell phone . Pay cash for that beer. Get your own credit card and use the company one for company business only. Leave the company cell phone in the office, not in your car (if it has gps the company can see everywhere you drove while it's in it).

If you publish anything on the internet , don't do it in your name unless it's bland boring "these are my skills please hire me I'm a nice guy" , otherwise you're likely writing your own "please fire me" sign.
