Unless you're disabled, elderly or otherwise unable to do this... Not to mention how is this tracked? I don't want MY employer knowing what I do or where I go in my free time.

Yes, of course there needs to be exceptions for those less able.

It’s tracked by a fitness app according to the article. Just turn off permissions once you’ve finished your run.

Ooo boy, time to fire up my GPS spoofer!

So people would need to disclose their medical information to their employer now too, and also hope that they not only keep it private, but consider it at all, with all... none of their medical knowledge? Oh, sorry, only disabled people, you know, so that they can qualify for whatever "exceptions" to this discriminatory bullshit the boss comes up with...

Only thing required is this to be made explicitly illegal.

In my company they gave you a fitbit type device. The deal wasn't as good. I think it was free HSA money or something.

Dystopia on top of dystopia. Need a special fund to not die when sick. Job makes you do extra. labor just to afford health care.

If someone wants to give me a nice Christmas present I'll wear 2 watches. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪
