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?
