If my company accused me of that I think I'd run a mile, so there's some harm.

There would be rampant abuse with this kind tool in place, as it give cause to fire anyone at any time, it would not be hard to find a reason to fire someone with this level of surveillance

You don’t have to accuse someone to investigate their activity. Hell, the person doesn’t even need to know they were investigated.

If a company really wants to fire you they will find a way with or without surveillance.
