RIVER FALLS, Wisc. - A company in Wisconsin is about to become the first in the US to offer microchip implants to its employees.
"It's the next thing that's inevitably going to happen, and we want to be a part of it," Three Square Market Chief Executive Officer Todd Westby told KTSP.
The company designs software for electronic break room markets, are commonly found in office complexes.
People are currently able to purchase items at the market using phones, but Westby wants to take things a step further and implant a microchip inside a person's hand.
"We'll come up, scan the item," he explained, while showing how the process will work at an actual break room market kiosk. "We'll hit pay with a credit card, and it's asking to swipe my proximity payment now. I'll hold my hand up, just like my cell phone, and it'll pay for my product."
More than 50 employees are having the devices implanted starting next week. Each chip, which is implanted between a person's thumb and forefinger, is about the size of a single grain of rice.
Along with purchasing market kiosk items, employees will be albe to use the chip to get into the front door and log onto their computers.
Each chip costs $300 and the company is eating the cost. They're implanted between a person's thumb and forefinger. Westby added the data is both encrypted and secure.
"There's no GPS tracking at all," he said.
No employees at Three Square Market will be required to get the chip implant.LINK

If it's an RFID type chip, GPS wouldn't be needed on the campus.

So glad I'll be long retired by the time we're all slaves (more so) to corporate America.

frick that shite. While y'all are bitching about "big government", something we actually control and have a hand in, corporations are inventing new age slavery.

Boss: where are you? That project is due in an hour!
Me: I'm working on it.
Him: our tracking system shows you stopped at taco bell this afternoon and you haven't moved from the company bathroom in over an hour!

My first thought. I'm retiring in less than 5 years, so I will be microchip free.

It makes sense as an exec or a business owner. You don't want your assets doing drugs or masturbating. This prevents that from happening.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Revelation 13:16-17
Today it's voluntary, tomorrow it will be mandatory.

The bible warned us about this mark of the beast

You fricking waterheads have been trotting out that line since the advent of social security numbers and drivers license numbers.
But, yeah, this one is totally it.

I would get it. Pain in the arse taking my badge out to enter site and use my computer 20x's a day.

And the defense they will use is that its not mandatory because you could choose to work somewhere else

You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts as well.
And so it begins. Not a religious person but I know what The Good Book said.
