I've been disturbed lately by the growth of invasive employment practices - personality tests, skill tests, resume screening, and now employment surveillance - that generates discrimination and inequality.

The surveillance described in that article is deeply disturbing. So glad that I'm retired.

On a related note, I recently saw a good documentary -- "Persona"-- that looks personality testing in employment - another disturbing trend with very dark implications for individuals and society.



The HR and exec types who buy all this slave technology aren't considering the ethics of such technology. Perhaps there needs to be a lot more education on ethics in business schools.
