Topic Reading-Vol.2074-12/15/2017

Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Japanese firm to use drone to force overtime staff to go home
Excessive overtime has been a cultural and habitual problem in Japan’s workplaces. It causes serious physical and mental problems to their employees. Some even committed suicide and drew attention from the public and then the health ministry.
A Japanese firm has come up with an idea to reduce overtime. Annoying employees in the office by flying a drone to sound some music that reminds people of the closing time.
Of course, there are things and people that are annoying in workplaces. Demanding bosses, non-sense document, time-wasting meetings and so on. But none of such nuisances is deliberately made by the management. Is this drone patrol a new robotic harassment?
Enjoy reading and think if there is any better use of technology to improve work efficiency.
