    Some more random thoughts on workplace monitoring: – Your relationship with your employees shouldn’t be antagonistic. They aren’t “out to get you”. They should have a vested interest in helping the company succeed, after all the company pays their salary too. At the same time understand that what is bad for the company is bad…
