Invasive, secretive “bossware” tracking workers

Then to me, this is the real issue. Businesses aren’t providing the right tools to help employees separate their personal lives with the business.

BYOD has indeed been a curse.

I think a lot of middle managers for working class jobs see the inability to separate work life from personal as a critical feature. The ability to peer into their employees' lives gives them new levels of power over the employer/employee relationship.

If the app did give the employees the tools to separate their lives, the employer would churn to another app.
