Lol I’m pretty sure they are already aware and forced to continue working regardless. What will a stupid tatoo do when they have no choice?
It will allow their bosses to dock their pay if they aren’t stressed enough. Touted as something like “leverage stress resource optimization” or whatever.
Exactly. It allows people to know who the “problem” is.
This would end up being used to track workers and punish those who aren’t hitting their mental workload quota for the day, like that eBay worker who got fired for being away from the screen for 4 minutes.
This is cool in a vacuum, but it will be used to fuel the torment nexus.
Humans can already do this by themselves, we’re just learned from a young age to ignore those signs.
