    Good, they’ll be left with second rate wage slaves while other companies who trust their employees will be more productive and competitive as a result.

      Trust. You’re right, it completely comes down to trust. If you can’t trust the people you hire to work without someone looming over them or watching everything they do, then you shouldn’t have hired that person.
