I agree. But I think we need to look at these things even further.

It's sensible to separate the two in principle, but the arguments forwarded by the author seem to ignore the actual substance of the issue here: that people ar not machines that can genuinely do "work" and "play" separately and that employers should not have that sort of power in the first place.

The world we should strive to build is not one where security issues are entirely removed from the equation or where employees become perfectly aligned with their employer's business needs, but one where most individuals of the society lead healthy, fulfilling, meaningful lives.

As such, it's not the employees that should remove their humanity from teh workplace, it's the workplace - the employer - that should be take (many) steps back and allow people to be people.
