For sure, and I am glad for that. Still, it's a bit jarring to me
what people are willing to accept without complaints because it
comes from $EMPLOYER. Did it come from the state, they'd all be
yelling dictatorship (with a reason). Why does an employer get a
free pass on that?

I mean: sometimes you have no choice if you want to go buy bread,
but rationalising that behaviour goes too far for my taste.

Yes: trust in your employees is an investment: as an employer you
have to put resources into education and into building a trust
relationship. But it pays off handsomely.

If, as an employer,  you insist into treating your employees as a
disposable resource, you'll get every data leak you deserve.
