Workplace surveillance and management control in WFH environ…

(1) Read this May 6, 2020 article titled How My Boss Monitors Me While I Work From Home from the New York Times about the technologies of surveillance that have emerged in the recent push towards a WFH (Work From Home) culture: How My Boss Monitors Me While I Work From Home – The New York Times.pdf (2) Pick a workplace you are familiar with. It can be a company where you currently work or have worked at in the past or a place you know well enough. Alternately, it can be a retail establishment like a big-box store or a restaurant that you have been to frequently enough to recall it. Identify at least three ways in which management exercises control over the workers. If you picked your own workplace, you can talk about the ways in which your bosses control you (or have controlled you in the past) or the ways in which you control (or have controlled) your subordinates. (3) Answer the following questions briefly, based on the article I asked you to read and on your own research: (a) What do you think is the future of workplace surveillance? (b) What are the driving forces behind this trend? (c) Should there be any public policy response to this trend? You should take a look at some of current technologies of supervision. You can find them by typing “remote monitoring tools” in a search engine. Instructions: Create a thread with your responses to the prompts above. Your post must be at least 600 words long, not counting any references. Use as many references as appropriate to indicate what sources you are drawing upon in order to substantiate your answers. I am expecting you to use a minimum of 3 references for this post.
