One of my employers used these in our badges. The supplier’s website promised huge control as it tracked bathroom use, smoking time and a dozen other things. My company said they didn’t use any of those features and then a manager left a report from the system on a printer. Also, I was asked about bathroom use. I asked if they wanted a medical report about my BPH (benign prostate hyperplasia) and they said no, just curious. (I was sensitive about the issue so I never used the same bathroom twice in a row and always tried to integrate the visits with other necessary travel around the plant.)
The asinine will be asinine, the gracious will be gracious, regardless of whether they are using high or low tech. I definitely know jerks, and I know the other kind too. Jerks make everything harder.
