Company to install microchips in employees

Would you do it? After all, what could possibly go wrong?

Welcome to the future?

A Wisconsin technology company is offering its employees microchip implants that can be used to scan into the building and purchase food at work. Whether or not to get a chip is up to the employee to decide.

Three Square Market, a company that provides technology for break-room or micro markets, has over 50 employees who plan to have the devices implanted, KSTP-TV reported. The tiny chip, which uses RFID technology or Radio-Frequency Identification, can be implanted between the thumb and forefinger "within seconds," according to a statement from the company.

A chip for food and checking in is how it starts. Then it ends up being something that completely invades your privacy.

How fucking lazy can we get? Is it that difficult to pull out your ID or credit card to enter the building or buy food that we are willing to have something surgically implanted? I mean, I know it's not that big of a deal because it's subcutaneous, but still, it's simply ridiculous.

I wonder how easy it is to scan for RFIDs and steal their frequency to apply to another RFID tag?

I think i'd prefer an RFID on my phone case or something like that.

The question is why? What's wrong with using an RFID badge like every other company. Lose it, call it in, deactivate, get charged a few bucks for a new one, get a new one.

We have a market in the plant where you can purchase snacks and drinks. You can either scan your badge (which you use to get in the parking lot and building), or you can use the thumb print reader.


Why the fuck would anyone get chipped is beyond me. I thought chips were reserved for pets..., oh wait..., company..., employees...., pets...., it makes sense now.

What's the big deal man. It's totally optional for employees.

The day someone tells me it's required to have a chip at a company. I will quite literally, with little to no hesitation, pull my pants down and take a shit right there on the floor.

I think this is more of a stepping stone.

I personally would like to have my bank card chip implanted in my hand. I hate carrying a wallet.

At first its "optional"
THEN theres "financial incentives"
THEN, more and more have it and it becomes "peer/accepted social pressure"
AT LAST, only a handful of stallwarts dont have it and it becomes "mandatory"

..this is how we get to a 1984 type of world
where non-conformist "bad" lil boys just get taken off the system

I would get a microchip. People bitching about that stuff don't realize we're already watched way beyond what you would get with a chip in you.

For example,

--your cellphone already tracks your every move and network of contacts
--all your data is up for grabs / being grabbed
--cameras with number plate readers (extremely common) and facial recognition tech (not that common, but about to be) track your car and soon to be your face everywhere there's a camera. Which if you're in a city is effectively everywhere.

So how does the chip matter in light of the above? Please, explain to me. We're already way the fuck beyond what "don't put a chip in me" folks are worried about and besides the chip in the OP is a niche access thing for some tech nerds.

Because if I don't have my cell phone on me, I can quite literally disappear if shit hits the fan. Get a chip, it's just one more way to be monitored.


So to your regard, go ahead and get the chip and let it set a precedent for the exciting future we already have ahead of us.
