Big Brother is watching? What do you think?

This story is kind of interesting, talks about companies actively tracking where the employees are and what they are doing to improve productivity. I have actually known a company that used this. When I worked for Target, the subcontractor responsible for sweeping our parking lot could actually track where his crews were and for how long, it helped figure out what happened if the lot was not cleaned or if they messed something up. Anyhow, its a big productivity management tool for companies but a privacy concern for workers, I suppose. I am sure the ACLU will be against this one, but as long as workers are doing there job and their employers are going overboard with it, would you really care.

Check out the story at the link below:
