Would you get a microchip implanted in you to keep your job?

We never thought this futuristic idea would actually come to fruition, but “human microchipping” has become real in parts of the world. In 2015, Epicenter – a high-tech business incubator in Stockholm, Sweden – started to implant chips into consenting employees.

Microchipping: Would You Get a Microchip Implant to Keep Your Job?

I never thought that I would be alive to see this development, but "human microchipping" has become real in parts of the world. What’s going on?

Absolutely not. Even if the whole world switched to micro chipping, I would not do it.

Probably not, but having gone through conversion to a badge system for access control, I can understand the hesitancy of employees to not wrap their arms around this; there was every excuse you can imagine for not wanting to wear a badge, even from HR. It wasn't until we deactivated and removed keypads that the hardliner, never wear a badge, holdouts came around. There are probably less invasive ways, but this technology seems to be the future. Don't know about Europe, but as often as people change jobs in the US, seems like a lot of minor surgery involved.

Yes, I would do this. It's not as crazy as it seems. I expect this to be common within the next 20 years.

only if there is a special chip for the political "eliite" that allows people to phone in and zap them when they irritate the masses enough. once I see for myself that that is in place and working, THEN I will consider it.

Most likely not. But this highly depends on what the chip is being used for. From the article: "For example, the chip could be used for riding public transportation, paying groceries or working out." If you put a chip in peoples hands that they can pay for stuff with you will see a sharp increase in the amount of hands being chopped off during muggings. No thanks! I'd rather you steal my wallet than my hand. However, while I wouldn't want anyone being able to track my location, as a parent of young children, I wouldn't mind being able to track theirs should they be abducted. There's a lot to consider here.

There are a lot of unanswered questions. If it's anything like how information on the internet is being used and sold, then no way.

As a member of the United States Armed forces I do what my Commander In Chief tells me. I may not be happy to start but if I'm told I obey.

Nope. I had a hard enough time being forced to give my DNA for "Battle Field Identification" that was then later give over and put in criminal databases. It's not that I planned on committing any crimes, it s that the "authorized" use of the DNA changed when a new president took over. So I don't trust the government with any microchip information.

Why not, those people who we are chatting about (FBI, CIA, NSA, SSO, Facebook, Yahoo, ect...) are already finding ways to follow us via personal or work desk computers, cellphones, iPads, iPods, laptops, minis and any other electronic devises one may have. Again everything about you and everyone else is already on some government official super computer that resides in/outside Washington DC. So if the Job requested it and the pay was good no need for me to think, for money outweighs my personal security (I have nothing to hide) so go ahead and place a chip in me Uncle Sam no more CAC card for me. But wouldn't it be good to chip each kid in America under two so if ever taken/kidnapped the law could easily find her/him?
