Do you really think that, nationalities an ethics aside, employees writing here would be happy to post a way to allow their employers spying on them? That would be throwing stones to our own roof.
Well, putting it that way ... don't you think it's a rather "moot" to put it into the law, that the employee has to agree to it? would he, normally?
I was just pointing out the fact, that I'm skeptic about our "noble" nature being the cause of our silence. That implies to me as well as anyone else.
There might be valid reasons to agree to monitoring (having a record for your own protection; or in the case of a truck, in case you got lost). Also, an employer could prove to those outside his organization that something did not happen. Further, the agreement could be implicit (i.e. this system belongs to xyz company, and it is monitored and we will nail your a$$ if you do anything wrong in the motd). -- I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone. Dwight D. Eisenhower
