I wouldn't trust the US Govt (if that's the Goverment we're talking about here) to notice a corellation between employees quitting and tougher restrictions on employee behaviors. I would expect that our government will simply hire less competent people because the people capable of doing the work well are unwilling to work for the our hypocritical goverment.
You're a fool saying that. Any government is like that and private businesses are often very tough on their employees with restrictions. I realize there should be a certain limit and that some companies go over the roof, but your business cannot be successful if its not managed properly. Government restrictions should be tougher as otherwise people don't want to do jack shit (most people tend to do that when they get to relax too much at work, and it doesn't have to be only bad people). Since government is ran by tax money, I want to see the money put to a reasonable use rather than being pissed away. I don't see anything wrong with knowing where patrol vehicles are for instance, and in fact it could help with safety and emergency coordination too. The only privacy you have at work is in the restroom, other than that, employer has full right to know what you've been up to while on the clock and I don't see anything wrong with that.
