It's always been a surprise to me how (generally large) companies can rationalize this kind of behaviour.
I remember the first time I came across it, I saw a project that was going to install detailed monitoring on call centre workers PCs.
In the business case for the software they actually put a financial benefit of this system as something like reduced employee absence due to them being better managed!
There didn't seem to be any acknowledgement that the employees might find the implicit lack of trust involved in installing this kind of software a problem.
