Who believes that these wristbands are sending only "happy/sad" data?

Also from the article:

In San Francisco, mental wellness app Modern Health aims to help employers more easily connect their workers with a variety of mental health resources, such as sessions with therapists. The journey starts with staff answering a short online questionnaire about their mental health, leading to a personalised mental healthcare plan. This could involve video call sessions with an expert on dealing with anxiety, or being directed to a digital meditation plan.

These people need out of our damn business unless we expressly invite them into it.

I get your point, but I don't trust ANY of this stuff. Data collection aside, it removes another aspect of human interaction - "If you want to communicate with me, press the button, M------------"

This is a way for employees to complain as passive aggressively

Are you assuming that employees are passive-aggressive?

Are you assuming that employees are passive-aggressive?

No. That is not what I said. That this is your takeaway honestly confuses me a little.

I said 'This is a way for employees to complain as passive aggressively as possible'. I myself am an employee of a business, and if I want to complain to my boss, I'll do it to his face, not press the sad button. Passive aggressive people will use the passive aggressive button. 'I didn't get that raise I was promised. Gosh golly that really steams my hams. I'll give my boss a real piece of my mind. Why, I'll press the sad button twice.'

So you're saying that passive-aggressive employees will use the passive-aggressive button - I think this is a semantics issue.
