Talk to your union. This is nonsense. We are SOC2 compliant at my employer without any surveillance tools. There are plenty of other controls that are perfectly reasonable though.
it's not about financial games, but rather externalities. There are significant external costs of our way of life that are borne by others. That new car emits CO2 that contributes to global heating. The steaks we eat come from cows that have been fed with soy beans from cleared rainforests. etc etc.
