In a bold move to boost productivity and streamline efficiency, companies across the nation are turning to a revolutionary new technology: integrated cameras in desks and chairs.
According to a recent study by the National Association of Productivity Enhancement (NAPE), employees who are constantly monitored by their employers are a staggering 0.01% more productive than those left to their own devices.
“We were really surprised by the results,” said NAPE spokesperson Jane Doe. “We didn’t think that constant surveillance would make such a big difference, but it turns out that knowing your boss is watching your every move really makes you want to get that TPS report done on time.“
The new technology, which is being hailed as the “workplace of the future,” is already being implemented in offices across the country. And employees are thrilled about the change.
“I used to waste so much time browsing the internet during work hours,” said John Smith, an office drone at Acme Inc. “But now that my boss can see what I’m doing at all times, I’m much more focused on my job.“
But not everyone is on board with the new technology. Some employees have raised concerns about privacy and the potential for abuse by overzealous managers.
“I don’t want my boss watching my every move,” said Mary Johnson, a receptionist at XYZ Corp. “I like to take a little break every now and then to check my Facebook and send a few personal emails. I don’t want to feel like Big Brother is always watching.“
Despite these concerns, companies are forging ahead with the new technology, convinced that it will lead to a more productive workforce. So, the next time you’re thinking about taking a break from work, remember: your boss is watching.
