BONUS - Would You Get Microchipped to Keep Your Job? 😳💉

In this wild Jubal Show discussion, we dive into a workplace trend that sounds straight out of a sci-fi movie: companies reportedly asking employees to implant microchips under their skin as a condition of employment. 🧠📡

The tiny chip—about the size of a grain of rice—can unlock doors, log into computers, track hours, and even replace keycards. Convenient? Maybe. Creepy? Absolutely. Critics warn about employee privacy, workplace surveillance, and corporate overreach, while supporters say it’s just the future of workplace technology.

One state has already taken action and banned companies from requiring it. But the bigger question is: would you agree to it to keep your job?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Would you get surgery in order to stay in employee?
At your job, you will show and no, I'm not
talking about working at an adult cabaret and your creepy
bosses all like hey, Sparkle, we get a lot of
complaints that there's not enough pedunc in your Padanka. Doncs,
I'm going to pay for you to get that Brazilian
butt lift lady. No, of course, I'm taking it from

(00:20):
your tips. But we got to get that bubble reinforced.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
Get out there and get to work.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
I'm not talking about that, but there is something going
on in corporate America that has a lot of people worried,
so much so that one state has even passed the
law saying no companies there can do this. We'll tell
you what state that is in just a second. But
in a movie that sounds like it came straight from
a sci fi movie, several tech companies are now reportedly
beginning to require employees to get tiny microchips implanted under

(00:47):
their skin as a condition of employment.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
For what.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
Well.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
They say that the chips, which are about the size
of a grain of rice, are implanted between the thumb
and index finger and can be used to unlock door.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
Everybody's looking at their hands, log.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Into computers, make purchases and company cafeterias, and automatically clock
employees in and out of work.

Speaker 4 (01:09):
A dumb place to put it, or track.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Your every move right right right.

Speaker 5 (01:14):
It's convenient, but it's just another way to follow you around.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
But that door thing, how many times have we lost
our card, keys and all that stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
It's attached to your phone. You get a new phone,
you can't get in.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
I had to wait downstairs today until Barbecue Chris showed
up and rescue me from the parking garage. That would
be very nice to have a microchip and planeted in
my skin, But absolutely not, are you kidding me. We've
gotten to the point where companies think that they own
people enough where they're willing to put micro chips under
their skin.

Speaker 6 (01:43):
You know they're spinning it though, to make your life easier.
You know they're spinning it so you don't Oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah, they're spinning it that way for sure.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Of course, companies say the technology is meant to improve
efficiency and eliminate things like lost key cards and forgotten passwords.

Speaker 2 (01:57):
That happens a lot.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
Some executives are calling it the next evolution of workplace access,
or just another way to make sure that we own
our employees. They don't actually have a life. They devote
everything in all their time to us. We know everything
about you.

Speaker 5 (02:13):
Sometimes I think that that's your little rebellion every morning, jubile,
is that you you rebel against the man by leaving
your phone at home so you don't have any way
of getting.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
Anybody getting into the building. Yeah, I wish it was.

Speaker 1 (02:24):
No, it's just that I forget it, and I'm like, man,
it would be so much easier if I could just
get in there.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
I can't do it.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
We're talking about companies that are now making their employees
get microchips implanted under their skin. Would you do this
text in four one oh six one. Critics say it
raises serious privacy concerns real Yeah. Labor advocates worry that
chips could eventually be used to track employees movements throughout
the day or monitor productivity in real time. Could you

(02:52):
imagine that if your boss could literally see everything that
you're doing?

Speaker 6 (02:55):
Yeah, well, can't they kind of already on the computers
that they give you a computer. I feel like they
are monitoring that even in your emails. That are like
workplace owned, so you're not really ever not being watched
at work.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
At least I've just accepted that. I don't know I
should accept that. That's how it feel.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I think the idea is that when you shut your
computer and you walk away from it, you're done and
you're not being tracked, hopefully, but that.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Thing, it's like everywhere you go there.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
With you try to call in sick with the microchip
is going to be like, yeah, we just pulled up
your activity from yesterday and you were at a bar
all last nights. Yeah, exactly, you don't have a favor. Yeah,
you don't have a fever. We can actually see your
body temperature right now. Everything is working great. Get in here.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
It be an increase in mental health days.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Your vo max is actually way better than it has
been in the last few days. I've been watching every day.
So your oxygen level is great, your heartbeat is good.
Get in here and get to work. Basically, that's scary
so far. The companies involved say participation is technically voluntary, right,
but you know how it is when a company. Whenever
a company says something is voluntary, they mean you better

(03:59):
do it.

Speaker 2 (04:00):
If you don't you're the odd man out and you're
looking at you weird.

Speaker 1 (04:02):
If you don't oh weird, all of a sudden, we're
starting paperwork on getting you fired, right right. Several employees
claim the implants are being strongly encouraged and may soon
become standard for new hires.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
Well.

Speaker 1 (04:14):
Supporters argue that the technology could make everyday tasks faster
and convenient.

Speaker 3 (04:19):
I mean it would kind of make things faster. You
would get in the building.

Speaker 4 (04:23):
That's like, I just don't know if I hate this,
Like do you really hate this?

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yes? But also with our social media, everyone tracks anyways.
Like I can't take a vacation and call it a
sick day for nothing. I tried, and I was.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Like, okay again.

Speaker 1 (04:38):
Yeah, but they're asking companies to actually put something underneath
their skin so they can track them. Would you, Victoria,
would you get a micro chip under your skin?

Speaker 4 (04:46):
I'm working for the man already.

Speaker 1 (04:49):
There's a difference, and that's why they do it, because
people will just give them be like whatever.

Speaker 5 (04:52):
There's a difference having a phone that you can put
down and walk away from and having something embedded in
your skin.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
That's weird to me.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
If you got like a microchip bonus.

Speaker 6 (05:02):
You know, you're part of the new program, and.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
That's exactly how they would frame it, and you would
do it. Ye, thank you.

Speaker 1 (05:14):
Washington State has actually banned companies from forcing employees to
plant microchips under their skin. Now they officially banned it.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Is there a whole list of states that ban it
and that are going to start it?

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Is it that serious of a conversation to start the banning?

Speaker 1 (05:27):
I meant to get ahead of it, right, Yeah, you
got to get exactly like.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Sport.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
It's everywhere and you have nothing you can do about it.
So if you don't want to be microchips, Washington State
is the one place that has been banned already.

Speaker 2 (05:41):
Everybody, quick text en four one six one.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Would you micro microchip yourself like a dog in order
to work for a company? Yeah, I guarantee you the
bosses aren't getting micro chipped above that. Yeah, no, not
at all.
