While I agree that too much control on the employees is demoralizing, there are a few significant incidents where employees (contractors, guest workers, business partner employees... you get the idea) have caused damage to an organization or the people they serve. For example, employees at the IRS gaining unauthorized access to tax records. Currently it seems unworkable to properly restrict employees ability to cause digital damage and allow them to do their job.
what can we do? I recommend improved internal logging along with increased awareness. Let employees know that their actions can be monitored. And, let's help make employers aware that data is important and needs to be protected.
