> The first is the fear of job loss, and I feel like this is the most straightforward to deal with.

In the same way that it was straightforward to deal with job loss from the industrial revolution, or when the US shipped away all its manufacturing capability?

I mean, kind of? It was fairly straight forward, and unemployment and poverty continued to decrease as those events occurred.

Really don't think this is any issue given the post we are commenting on...

There is no clean separation between personal and work. It is also more efficient to blend them (if I expect a baseline level of non-snoopiness on my work computer, I will text my boyfriend from my work laptop... obviously beneficial for the firm).

Either way when it comes to ranting about the company: many workplaces don't have a watercooler where all your team mates congregate (e.g. remote/different offices). Also what, you'll rant about confidential work projects over non-work texts?
