"If the evolution of enterprise collaboration platforms is toward increased information asymmetry and more centralized control, then workers would be wise to get out of the modern enterprise as fast as possible."

My first employer made a big deal about not having time clocks, but they would monitor people based on their desk phone login records. I thought of that experience yesterday when I ran across a FastCo article on the Place Lamp, a device which connects to the GPS on your smartphone and changes color to tell your co-workers where you are. My exact thoughts were, "Is this a leash, or an electronic fence?" And that's to say nothing of what they could do with search data from any company provided devices and networks. Get out indeed.
