Would you do this 63 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 1: text in four one oh six one. Critics say it 64 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: raises serious privacy concerns real Yeah. Labor advocates worry that 65 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: chips could eventually be used to track employees movements throughout 66 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 1: the day or monitor productivity in real time. Could you 67 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 1: imagine that if your boss could literally see everything that 68 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 1: you're doing? 69 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, well, can't they kind of already on the computers 70 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 6: that they give you a computer. I feel like they 71 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 6: are monitoring that even in your emails. That are like 72 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 6: workplace owned, so you're not really ever not being watched 73 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 6: at work. 74 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 4: At least I've just accepted that. I don't know I 75 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 4: should accept that. That's how it feel. 76 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 5: I think the idea is that when you shut your 77 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 5: computer and you walk away from it, you're done and 78 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 5: you're not being tracked, hopefully, but that. 79 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: Thing, it's like everywhere you go there. 80 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: With you try to call in sick with the microchip 81 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: is going to be like, yeah, we just pulled up 82 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 1: your activity from yesterday and you were at a bar 83 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 1: all last nights. Yeah, exactly, you don't have a favor. Yeah, 84 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: you don't have a fever.

Basically, that's scary 91 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: so far. The companies involved say participation is technically voluntary, right, 92 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: but you know how it is when a company. Whenever 93 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: a company says something is voluntary, they mean you better 94 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:00,119 Speaker 1: do it. 95 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: If you don't you're the odd man out and you're 96 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 2: looking at you weird. 97 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: If you don't oh weird, all of a sudden, we're 98 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: starting paperwork on getting you fired, right right. Several employees 99 00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: claim the implants are being strongly encouraged and may soon 100 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: become standard for new hires. 101 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 2: Well. 102 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: Supporters argue that the technology could make everyday tasks faster 103 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: and convenient. 104 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: I mean it would kind of make things faster.
