Disney Starts Using "Electric Whips"

As a means of tracking hotel worker speed they now display employee stats and it isn't exactly having a positive effect on the workers.

I just read that. I guess they have always kept track of production with paper methods but this new electronic method makes it more public. I'm hoping something can change because it isn't right that people are skipping basic necessities (like using the restroom) so as to not fall behind schedule.

I wouldn't be happy either. They deserve better. Whatever happened to quality in your work mattering rather than quantity?

Because people pay the same for high quality as they do for lower quality when it is branded with a well known company. Apple runs near sweat shops and fakes of Louis Vuitton, Prada, Coach, etc. are now at almost the same as the real thing due to lower standards.
