#2The title is, of course, misleading. They are offering employees a microchip implant. It's not required.
Still crazy that anyone would opt-in to do this, but a misleading headline all the same.

I dunno, I'm surprised you thought it was mandatory. Pretty confident in the state of Wisconsin you cannot force someone who does not have life threatening ailments surgery.

#4OK, maybe I'm old or old-fashioned or just not creative enough...
But what exactly are the advantages of this implant over NFC-cards or something like Apple Pay? That I cannot forget my card or my phone? I don't even know when this last happened to me...

Or what about a wristband?

I don't see any immediate problem with that assuming taking it out is relatively painless and there's no cost associated.
I'd like to have one so I wouldn't have to worry if I have office keys with me, instead I could just scan my arm at the door. I've never left my hand at home.

OK, this is Wisconsin, but for one Apple Pay is not available everywhere outside of U.S.

Hygiene and safety, I would guess. A card in a lanyard can get caught up in all sorts of machinery and even a wristband can be slightly difficult to keep clean.
