#2They call this dystopian, but I don't get it. Why keep a slacker around when you have limited slots for workers? Why not measure and retain good workers?
Somebody please try a little to see beyond the linkbait title of the OP. Knee-jerk anti-the-man comments aren't very helpful in digging into why this is a good or bad idea.

Because people aren't robots. That's not how the brain works. People can't concentrate 100% for 8-12 hours a day every day consistently.

I certainly wouldn't want to work under those conditions.

So the best workers will be people too. No worries; folks won't be judged or measured as robots. Not an issue.

Because you're monitoring someone constantly.
Imagine if your manager sat behind you breathing on your neck while you coded. He has a pack of tic-tacs so his breath is fine.
He crushes the tic tacs with his teeth everytime he thinks you're not working

Millions of people wear a fitbit. I used to wear a watch (to regulate my work day). How many office workers wear a badge? Most of them. Not a problem

I really hope you're not in a position of management.
