Henry Ford Lives!

so, here's a follow-up to the last post...
how many of you had to have background checks for your current job?
drug tests?

how much private info are you willing to give up for a job?
if they wanted your measurements?
your cholesterol level?
your sexual history?

I mean, realistically speaking all of those are as relevant as a
credit report to determining say, how well you could sell theatre
tickets or support cisco hardware, right?

Where do we draw a line as a society? why are we all so quick to give
up our personal data, our personal history, just to collect a
paycheck?

It's only a matter of time before Mr. Ford starts sending pinkertons
by the house to make sure you're in bed on time, or reading to your
kids, or whatever other idea Johnny Employer gets in his head...
grrr!!
