The manager can compare one worker objectively with all the others, then reward the speedy ones and warn the laggards. Not all employees find the surveillance oppressive. In fact many, particularly the hardest workers, prefer the new evaluative technique because they see it as a matter-of-fact measurement of their output as opposed to a boss's personal opinion.
