Since the pandemic, employers have been engaging in certain types of quiet maneuvering like “quiet cutting” and employee surveillance to assuage the needs of business and stabilize their workforce.

one place i worked put webcams on every desk. boss said if i cannot see you on the cam, you are not working. I said to here, for heavens sake you can stand up and see me!
When I worked as first-line supervisor at a nuke power plant, there was the term LARA ie as ‘Little As Reasonably Acceptable’ regarding work in a radiation area. IOW you wanted your employees to get as little rad as was reasonably acceptable.
When I moved to another industry, I coined some employees as LARAs bec they accomplished as Little As Reasonably Acceptable. Gave one a 0.5% raise when bogey was 3.5%. Others I was able to demote and other LARAs were put into unconformable positions w limited ability to exercise any choice to accomplish their job.
Yep.
