Yes, just what I want... more crap from Facebook.

I've been so very satisfied with how much of my personal data they sell to marketers thus far, I really want them to start tracking me at work too.

Hopefully they will pair the launch with an aggressive sales campaign targeted at people in HR so I won't get a say in the matter and it'll just be rolled out for my coworkers without our input. That would be just swell.

Are you from the future?
Facebook seems like exactly the company we want to trust with SSO and performance reviews and internal corporate communications. It's coming and it's going to be amazing!

Would you like to know more?

Hey, I'm wondering, how exactly does facebook selling ads against your data affect you negatively?
Advertising is brainwashing, it is the art of thought manipulation.

Right now it is heavily focused on consumerism.

Facebook has already shown it is can easily identify depression, radicalization, political associations, and other "aberrant" behaviours.

I do not trust Mark Zuckerberg as an individual, nor FB as a company to fill that role in society.

You are being manipulated constantly, 24/7. By your friends, co-workers, family, acquitances, movies, songs, books, by yourself. This isn't really a valid reason, IMO.
