I think you underestimate the line of future workers willing to work under almost any condition.

People said this about consulting companies when they retracted offers in 2001. People said this about wall street firms when they reigned in party culture in the early 2000s. Yet, the show goes on because fresh graduates and immigrants at all levels need jobs and are willing to bear with it all.

It's not about workers being "willing" - it is about handicapping worker "ability." You surveil me and it will reduce my performance, creativity, etc. It isn't necessarily conscious on the workers part - it's like a virus that infects all that worker does.

Well, I'm not the GP so I can't tell for sure. But "lose competitiveness" without any further said normally refers to a company as a seller, on its products markets.

When referring to the company as a buyer, like in the labor market, people usually qualify it.
