Whilst this is the case, it should be borne in mind that if employees are 
being spied on, it is certainly morally the case that employees should be 
aware, and perhaps in some places, legally the case.  Anything like this 
should probably be in the employees contract.

If this is really the case, then the need for *covert* spying software is 
negated, due to the fact that the employee will know that the software is 
there anyway.

Just my 2 cents.
