GPS collars: pet tracker today, worker tag tomorrow
The GPS collar that saved Petra the dog is a grim harbinger of pervasive workforce surveillance. Personal freedom will be the casualty.

Petra the dog was "saved" by a GPS collar. Soon, every worker will be "saved" from slacking by similar tech. This isn't about safety; it's about control. Employers will demand constant oversight, eroding trust and autonomy under the guise of efficiency. We are sleepwalking into a future where every movement is tracked, every minute accounted for, and every last vestige of personal space vanishes. What will be left of freedom?
GPS tracking enhances safety and productivity, preventing time theft and optimising logistics. Workers benefit from improved coordination and security, especially in hazardous roles. It’s a tool for efficiency, not oppression.
