Controlling uses of information technology

I'm looking for some people to interview via email who can provide real world examples of how technology has been used poorly in the workplace; e.g. to control and monitor workers. This is for a piece I'm writing about the use of technologies to provide greater workplace flexibility. I'm wanting to start, however, with some stories to illustrate what not to do.

For example, I know of a company that when gas prices went through the ceiling allowed their employees to work at home two days a week. The employees, however, were required to be logged into IM at all times during business hours. I was reminded of those bracelets that we put on inmates who are under house arrest.

Can you provide me some real-life stories? I'd love to interview you. I will promise you anonimity, and will not mention the name of your company or organization unless you tell me it's okay.

Thanks for your help!
