How to create a better office environment with furniture, supplies, and products

Your office might, in fact be spying on you. I just read this interesting article over at PC World; In-House Spy Software Becomes Big Business.

Because I work at home, I sometimes forget what it felt like to have less workplace privacy. Of course, you usually have some sort of privacy at work, but face it, if you have a key to that file cabinet, so does your boss.

The PC World article discusses spy software and how it's getting more popular. This is software that can follow your emails, listen in on phone calls, and track instant messages. This article focuses on banks but there's no question that other companies won't follow suit. 

Now, if you were told up front that your job would be fully monitored, would you still take the job?

I think I'd get their point, I mean a company can lose millions over people doing stupid stuff behind a company's back, but overall, I'd rather work for a company that maintains a certain amount of trust based on your previous work experience and reputation. 

There are pros and cons; but that sort of environment may not be for me. What do you think?
