lot of risks involved, but I don't want to destroy the atmosphere because of paranoia and resentment towards something we don't even know exists."
Alice Hamilton, the Director of Information and Technology, sighed. "We can put some covert countermeasures into place without affecting too much in day to day affairs, I think. Security measures that people can't see, things that aren't obvious or obtrusive. It's definitely possible to do, and we can do it in a way that isn't noticeable if that's the way you want to go about it, Asher. Take the company laptops, for example. We can install an update that keys into all of the built in webcams and gives us eyes into everyone's office. It's basically the direct access into surveillance that anyone could want. There are already a handful of cameras throughout the halls and in other places, so what's a few more?"
Most everyone nodded their agreement, except Lucent. Granted, Lucent usually didn't openly agree with anyone, so it was hard to tell what his stance was now. Asher put his hand on his forehead and squeezed his temples, closing his eyes.
"Besides the fact that I'm fairly certain that's a huge invasion of privacy, especially considering many of our employees bring their laptops home from work, I don't see how that's going to help. When Solomon Royce enacted his plan, if we had eyes into his office, what would that have done? And how far is too far? The computers have microphones, as well, right? Do we tap into the cameras and the microphones? We already track email correspondence and internet usage, though for the most part we let people do what they'd like."
Rob shrugged. "I don't see how it's going to affect anyone unless they're doing something wrong. I mean, really now, if you're doing your work like you should be, but now your computer is sending out video and sound recording of what you're doing, who cares? The only way I can see someone having a problem is if they're inviting a co-worker into their room for a midday fuck session."
Asher wanted to say something, but he decided to err on the side of caution. Personally, he didn't care overly much about the potential scandal, because what he did with his wife was his own issue, and while others might attempt to attack him over it, it never affected his position with the company. Obviously, it would affect Jessika differently, though. She'd already shown disturbance towards the small bout of public outrage after the Solomon Royce incident. He refused to cause her undue distress by rekindling the media's attention on their relationship.
"It's not a suitable solution to our perceived problem," Lucent said suddenly. "There are multiple issues with increased security like Ms. Hamilton suggests. Disregarding the potential for an invasion of privacy lawsuit and the fact that many of Landseer Enterprise's employees bring their laptops home for working purposes, the cameras and microphones wouldn't work when the computers are off. They also wouldn't be able to send information if someone were to unplug from the internet, for example. If the microphone or camera breaks, what then? It's extremely suspicious if we require everyone within the company to have working peripheral devices that they should never have need of during the normal course of business. How far does that go? Do we then require each employee to partake in video conferences as some solution to the inherent problems with another solution? So on and so forth?"
"In essence," Lucent said with a sense of finality, "while the idea of the solution is potentially interesting to contemplate, the additional problems it produces are too numerous and dissatisfactory for my preferences."
Down the table, someone muttered something about Lucent only holding issue with it because he was having midday fuck sessions in his office and didn't want them recorded. Or, it sounded like that. If that was indeed what they said,
