What interests me is how this scenario was introduced, namely outside of work behaviors being of concern to an organization. One may start with Foucault and Bentham's panopticon to appreciate the normative gaze of the organization toward employees in relation to its moral projects. I think it all started in the late 1700s / 1800s according to Foucault. Before that, I believe workers could mostly do what they liked in their free time. But the story of how it all developed is a long but interesting one.
