I don't care if anyone at work sees what I'm doing at any given moment as I use my work laptop for work, barely even read HN or reddit. Even with that if it was required that my laptop had monitoring sw as mentioned, I would immediately work elsewhere. I'm a professional and won't work were I'm not treated as such. It's also a sign of bad management and leadership that will get worse rather than better.

“It’s also a sign”

This. It is never the case that this one terrible idea was the sole outlier from an otherwise brilliant and empathetic leadership team.
