Kind of a crank website. Then again, this is the WEF we're talking about; even chuds can see that having your boss read your mind is a bad idea.
We're already seeing things moving in that direction right now. There is tons of employee monitoring software. Companies use key loggers, video surveillance, attention tracking, and so on. Then there's a recent case of a woman being ordered to reimburse former employer for 'time theft' based on the monitoring software.
So, the idea that companies would start forcing people to wear brainwave monitoring helmets to track whether they're focused on work or not isn't as far fetched as you seem to think.
I'm lucky I haven't beem subjected to that yet. I fear the day when that becomes the norm.
