Surveillance or not?

I've read the text we had in class and I'll try to keep my content to the parts I read. First I've to say that I agree with the boss in the second stretch, "I don't give a rat's rear what they do at home," "But what they do at work is all my business." but it's a bit of lack in that argument, because it does matter what they do on their free time. If there were some people at their free time “misbehaving”, e.g.  viewing of child pornography, it may blacken the company’s name.

If the management using surveillance or tracking the workers through GPS they should inform the staff, especially if they go trough their email. I get the point to not inform the staff too, just to see if the staff doing their job. But to inform the staff, it would probably put pressure or at least make them aware that people are watching them and it would probably lead to that the staff doing its job.

I don’t have a opinion about to have surveillance in the society. It has a lot of good features, but still it has some downsides. What do you think about it?
