Learned the hard way that being an employer in the U.S. is basically opting in to being an extension of a social surveillance/control mechanism in the sense that it incurs/induces an elevated level of control over how you can conduct your life.

The larger you get the more control you are accountable to implement. Basically anything that would be shrugged off by the average citizen as either B.S. or "none of your damned business" is basically shoehorned into being handled by employers. Up to and including surveilling the physical location of H-1B workers.

My eyes were opened wide once I started to look into how the modern corporation is utilized in the U.S.
