#53Engineers who help create stuff like this are assholes. How could you see this being used for good in any way?
Eh, some people just want to put food on the table and pay their debts. They aren't as responsible as you or me.
So the Yuppie Nuremberg Defense, then?

#54I remember the PARC smart badge system, had a similar sort of push back. Sure there were "good" things like quick attendance count at meetings and an easy to use "where is Bob?" sort of service, but on balance it was a net negative on the employee.
I've never been at a single company that took attendance at meetings. If you have to take attendance at a meeting, it is probably a worthless meeting.
Generally in the notes of a meeting there is a list of attendees, that helps someone reading the notes to understand who was present and should presumably already be aware of the subject matter, and who wasn't and may need background on the meeting if the subject came up.

I'm guessing you are talking about small meetings and not 20+ person meetings where it would be hard to tell who needed catching up from a long list of attendees.
