Certainly would feel creepy, if I knew it was happening.

But, I would ask, beyond a gut feeling of being creepy, what particular objections does anyone have to this? Do you believe employers are not entitled, either legally or ethically, to do this on their own equipment?

I think the main objection is that these companies are treating their employees as an enemy rather than part of a team.

Seems to me to be a very strong indicator of a toxic workplace

I disagree with the characterization of "enemy," but I understand your point. Do we not regularly discuss here amongst ourselves the internal security of our organizations? Are inside threats not a growing part of that concern? [0]

Do we expect orgs not to respond to insider threats, or is it just this particular response that is especially distasteful?
