A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Emotion recognition systems are finding growing use, from monitoring customer responses to ads to scanning for ‘distressed’ women in danger.

The thing is though, I don't see how someone like this could even work out.

Like, you hire employee 1, they get frustrated at something overnight. You fire them for being upset. Now you have to fill the seat. Employee 2 is brought on. They get told what happened to the person they replaced. They leave or are fired for having emotion and being human. This repeats ad nauseum.

Let's be real, most of us would get weeded out at the interview when they start spilling all the "we're like a family" bullshit.

What type of family? Found family? The kind of family that requires restraining orders for abuse? The kind that only sees each other on Chirstmas?

I'm guessing it's going to be implemented as identifying "persistent negative attitudes" and as validation to fire anyone in non-fire-at-will locales.

It could also be used as bullshit to deny raises and promotions if your grateful or motivated indexes weren't high enough.

so, basically a tool to suss out which employees have undisclosed mental health issues that the employer can’t legally ask about. cool. cool.
