I think it is good to be open about what we do at work. In the article Snooping Bosses we are told about bosses snooping on their employees in several inventive ways.
Well, I think the employees have the same right to monitor their employer. It's equally important.
I for instance would not want to work for a company which has values I don't like. It would be good to hear what the boss says when he/she is having lunch or dinner with people from other companies, maybe discussing company policies and other interesting things concerning the future of the employees.
It would also be good for employees to know exactly what's said on company meetings. Everything from the economic status to who wants milk in their coffee.
It is quite often in recent years we have heard of company executives visiting porno clubs and paying for everything with company representation money. It would only benefit the overall morale at the workplace if the employees could monitor such meetings so the bosses don't get in unnecessary trouble. (As we know they afterwards often don't know really where they have been).
The representation meeting money should always be accounted for, and a listing of who paid what should be put up at a message board or something equivalent for everyone to read.
And if the bosses don't like to be monitored? Well, it's kind of funny. It seems that people keen on the idea of spying on other people don't like to be snooped on themselves at all.

Robert,
An interesting and well-written blog entry! I like it that you have foucsed on the bosses themselves rather than the employees!
I find this sentence a bit strange:
"As we know they afterwards often don't know really where they have been"
It might be better to write something like:
"As we have noticed, the bosses often don't remember where they have been the previous night"

This is an interesting matter. When a person works at a company, his or her name automatically represents the company’s name. In that sense it would only be fair for the employees to be able to keep track of their CEO. If they find out that their boss is planning something they don’t want to be a part of they can choose to leave the company before the headlines in the newspapers appear.
I can really relate to this entry. I try to be as picky as possible when chosing employer. Mostly my financial situation makes it harder to tell bad employers of, but I have done it. Once a man who wanted to employ me as personal assistent insisted on that he would subtract any calls he had to make to my cell phone from my sallary. I told him I wasn't interested to work under such circumstences.
I'm looking forward to read your future entries.
